One favor, one journey, one game-changing weapon.
With tensions between humans and mystical creatures at an all-time high, going on a journey for rare blood was never going to be good.
Especially when Vaughn knows he's the only one who can turn it into a weapon.
As the journey continues, doubts soon begin to grow - between Vaughn and his companion, his strict manager from work; doubts about the past his family had warned him of; and finally, about the true reason behind this journey.
Why exactly did the requester want this blood? 
Do they know how dangerous it can be? And if they do, what are they planning to do with it?

Dusk by despiteous

**MATURE CONTENT & COMPLETED** A smart-mouthed 25 year old girl looks normal, yet is anything but that. She's a highly skilled hunter who trained day and night to live up to her legacy. Her parents were open in revealing her destiny of being born into a long line of vampire hunters. Except she doesn't follow all of the Hunter traditions as she wants to pave her own way. Finally, when she is of age to go on assignments alone, she takes her first big assignment. It has the ability to change every aspect of her life and even makes her question her beliefs: one of which being that love does not exist. Not only does this assignment make her re-evaluate everything she's ever known, the vampires her family has taught her to avoid at all costs somehow manage to become her biggest threat. Their only two purposes are to find the right time to strike and kill the very thing that threatens their way of life: her. All the while battling real-life demons... she struggles with her own.

No More Nice Girl (r4r) by everiixu

Raven was the girl everyone underestimated-a people-pleaser with a heart too soft for her own good. No one exploited that more than Damien, her first and only crush. But when Damien crushes her heart in the cruelest way, the girl she once was dies, leaving nothing but a stone-cold shell in her place. Then she's taken. A organization gives her an impossible choice: become a weapon forged in blood and shadows, or die. Raven doesn't just survive-she thrives, becoming one of the deadliest assassins they've ever trained. Years later, her latest mission drags her back to the town she swore she'd never see again-and right into the orbit of the people who ruined her. Including Damien. But the Raven they knew is gone. This Raven is lethal, unrecognizable, and unrelenting. Damien might try to reach her heart, but what happens if he's the one who ends up in her crosshairs? In a game of betrayal, love, and revenge, one question remains: will Raven finish what she started, or will her past be the death of them both? One's thing for certain: no more nice girl

Lost Among the Peaks by Roses_4500

This story follows Alex, a young boy who is unexpectedly thrust into a world of danger and mystery when he is pursued by a group known as the Hunters. Initially, Alex believes he's just an ordinary kid, but as the story unfolds, he learns that he's connected to something far greater-something ancient and powerful. The Hunters are after him because of what he is, not just who he is, and they believe he holds the key to a power that could reshape the world. As Alex journeys through the mountains with his companion, Jack, he faces increasingly perilous situations. Along the way, Jack reveals pieces of the truth-Alex is not just any ordinary person, but someone who holds a power that others want to exploit. Jack has been protecting him for years, keeping him in the dark for his safety, but now, with the Hunters closing in, Alex must make a choice: continue running and hiding, or face the truth about himself and the power within him. Throughout the story, Alex grapples with the weight of his newfound identity and the responsibility that comes with it. The mountains, the storm, and the constant pursuit of the Hunters serve as metaphors for Alex's inner journey-he must confront the parts of himself he's been avoiding, understand his purpose, and make a stand against those who would use his power for destruction. In the end, Alex chooses to face his fate head-on, no longer running from what he is, but embracing the strength and potential he has inside. The story is about self-discovery, overcoming fear, and stepping into one's true power in the face of overwhelming odds.
