4 girls and 5 murder cases at their academy.
Kiara, Imani, Eden, and Layla are students at Rosewood Academy, a prestigious all girls academy reserved for the most academically talented students. With a reputation to uphold, the academy's principal will do whatever it takes to ensure a safe learning environment.
However, when one of the students is brutally murdered, panic sets in. Over the next few months, more students meet the same fate, leaving everyone on edge and terrified, wondering if they will be the next victim on the killer's list.
When one of the friends of the four girls becomes a victim, they decide to take matters into their own hands even though they are potentially risking their lives to put a stop to the killings. They initiate an investigation to uncover the identity of their friend's killer and seek justice.
But how can they conduct their investigation without raising suspicion? How will they find the killer? And most importantly, how can they navigate this investigation when they can't trust anyone- not even each other?

Resurgence
WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24

Ruby Fridays
Everyone has their dark side but some- like 𝙍𝙪𝙗𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨, have the darkest. High school can be tough for many teenagers, but for her, it was peculiarly hellish. Clever as evil and twice as pretty, Ruby's beauty was both dangerous and lethal. Trouble always follows her, and strangely enough-she's familiar with the feeling of blood on her hands, and the glimmer of naked secrets and truths that keep her enemies up until sunsets and dawns. But when she got enrolled in a prestigious institution-the infamous, "𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤 𝘼𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙮," despite her tainted school records, she realizes that her ruined fate is already sealed by the almost perfect image of the school- that is nothing but a façade to masked the darkness that lurks within its whole vicinity. Like a twisted fate, as if reflecting Ruby's name, the Academy holds a sinister game of 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞 every 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 And the official rules are simple yet sinister. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡? You must reveal your deepest, darkest and most hideous secret. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞? Well, that could be even more dangerous-even deadly. When the game takes an even darker turn with her appearance, suddenly no one at the Academy knows who to turn to and trust with the day by day murders in the broken mists. Yet in the darkness, 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚, a disguised angel who's surprisingly Ruby's parallel counterpart, decides to interfere with her ruined path. Together with him, they will look for the missing pieces and connect them. Together, they will unravel the cases and reveal the secrets beyond the broken glasses of their hearts.
