[Previously named Rosegold]

Rose Veretta is the heartbeat of the nation. Her smiles on magazine covers are worth a million dollars and to just get one of her clicks was to die for. People loved her and she loved her audience. At least that's what everyone thought.

On the other side of the newspaper was a shadow. A serial killer on the loose who had been the nightmare of the PD for the last three months, with 5 murders to their record. Only two things about Robin were known, they considered murder as a form of art, and they loved popularity. What else would explain their obsession with leaving their name and one of their expensive ornaments on the crime scene?

Naturally, these two belonged to different worlds. They didn't need to ever cross paths or even considered connected. But surprisingly, all the people Robin killed are one way or another, connected to Rose. Now that's a little too convenient, isn't it?

A Psychotic Killer? How to Get Away! ni EdithAnyakee

#1 - romanticsuspense #3 - mystery As a four years old child, Kimberly Jacobs, made global news as a psychotic. A child who murdered her own mother in cold blood. And now, thirty years later. The evil cycle has repeated itself again. Someone in Kim's life - her husband - has been savagely murdered. On a night Kim sent all their employees home. So many possible reasons for Kim to want her husband dead, but, did she do it? Did she pull the knife to end the life of the father of her child? Or is someone trying to implicate her, so she makes global news again? But this time, it wouldn't just end there. She could go to prison, and serve life imprisonment. Or in fact, face the death penalty. For a crime, she may or may not have committed.

Virulent ni evacharya

[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5. Flip the coin and make a life choice with it. Two choices, one coin, and no turning back. Do you dare?

Hidden Whispers ni withloveesbe

[ OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2019 SHORTLISTED ] [ FEATURED ON MYSTERY ] Mikaela didn't want anything to do with her past. Her life already changed to a drastic extent when she had to be the sole witness of an "accident". 10 years later, a new accident pulled her back to her hometown. Because it resembled something she dreaded for long. But things aren't the same in Glenville, and she realises that she wasn't the only one who knew what happened that night. People have changed. There were new perspectives, new love, too much hallucinations (or are they?) topped up with self-fed lies and bitter truths. But we know that what we know doesn't always come true. And the ride to knowing about the fact that you don't know is a bumpy one. But to find out who the other person is who knows about night other than her could cost her many things - even her own sweet life. TW

The Taste of Iron ni Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

The Screams of the Lambs ni Babyvamp-tw

Born between Elena and Jeremy, Vivien is the typical middle child. Impulse, sarcastic, and neglected. The story told from Vivien's perspective, who's an unreliable narrator, is revolving mostly about her struggles to fit into the life she was put into. Her entire life, she assumed that she was just a little mentally ill, when in reality, she was living with supernatural powers nobody gave her information about. Tragically fitting for V, she can't fly or make wishes. No, Vivien knows about death. Visions about brutal murder since kindergarten, centuries old ghosts she thought were imaginary friends and killer unintentionally outing themselves to her with their "skin peeling" as Vivien gracefully calls it. She wouldn't believe it herself, but Vivien will have love interests. Damon Salvatore and Rebekah Mikaeldottir will be the ones to violently force into her head that she is not unlovable. Close by her side is her best and for a certain time, only friend Tyler. As the story continues, Vivien's personality and mindset will develop drastically much. This story will be violent and cruel, and I promise you'll cry. Vivien is an accurate representation of trauma responses, and you should really only read this if you want to cry. Vivien is a messed-up teenager and thinks deeply in her heart that she doesn't deserve to live, so you must be patient with her. Might be annoying at times, but she'll grow on you. Warnings for tvd fans: I don't think much of glorification. Even if they're popular in the fandom, abusers abuse, bullys bully, and everyone screws up sometimes. No Elena slander or romanticising abusers. I'm not afraid to kill off main characters. You can expect many plot twists, violence and know I have twisted humour. I don't own the rights over any characters besides Vivien and neither about the plot lines. Those rights go to the writers and the producers of the vampire daries.

Stalked By A Serial Killer ni NotCrazyYaJustStupid

"How do you feel now, Morgan?" She says, more pointing something out than asking a question. She grabs hold of my wrists and tightens them. If I could see properly I could swear I see them turn purple. "I could beat you to the bone, right here, right now, till you die from your injuries. But, I won't. You will die. Maybe not today, maybe not in a month, but you will." Well, obviously I'm going to die. Humans don't live forever. "Wonder why?" "No, and I really don't care." She answers anyway. "Because we have the power, the people, and the weapons to do it. Face it, you're defenseless against us." I feel some blood flooding my mouth, so I, being a perfectly nice person, spit it in her face. That doesn't faze her at all. "I have the strength and intelligence, something you clearly don't have. Whatever y'all do to me, it won't break me. I will put up a hell of a fight before losing. I will fight, and I will win." I turn over and look at her fellow companions. "Even if I die doing it." "Is that a risk you're willing to take?" ____________________________________ 17 year old Morgan Peters is an average girl living life.

Murder Me in Your Memory ni EktaGolpoBoli

A murder, of a great cardiologist-who would kill the savior doctor? And why? That too, on his wedding night? Was he actually the victim? Or does a great story lie behind someone else's cardiology? *evil laughter😉😆* Despite the brilliance of a relentless detective and the unwavering aid of his allies, the killer remains a ghost in the shadows-always a step ahead, always unseen! Clues unravel, secrets emerge, yet justice slips through their fingers like smoke. How do you catch a phantom who leaves no trace? First of all, no one knows how the allergic reaction happened to make him die. Covered in all red and petals-who killed him so passionately? So madly? So brutally? Was he sacrificed? People asked, "How could someone die so beautifully?" Long ago, her hands once held his heart. Now, they held a violin-until the strings played their final note. Nope, it's not about who you think it is. ;) He wrote her story in blood and ink, but in the end, the violin wrote his... A healer's lie, a lover's pain, an angel's regret. A violin sings, a heartbeat fades-tell me, love, who plays the final note? As the killer said, "When I screamed, no one heard me. Today, I made his silent dead body scream my rage, my madness-just like the sound of love in a violin's music! Hahahahahahaha!!!"

Burnt Blood: The Werewolf Within ni Demon_Wolf_Detective

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro. [[word count: 114,000 words]] Warning Contains Murder, blood, demons, satanic worship, down-to-earth werewolf/demon wolf, guns, dead bodies, and talk of foster care may trigger. Ghosts.
