Tick tock goes the clock,
Until this Manor is
No more
Will the mouse
Find a way out?
Free of guilt;
Oh, safe and sound?
Time is running out, detective.
Angel Mallory has always been unlucky. Seemingly retired from their old job working for the Guilded Council, they not only have to face the trauma of their old working position as a detective agent, but a new, disturbing enemy- unemployment. A sudden invitation to a masquerade event at The Silverguard Manor changes everything.
Could luck be on Angel's side for once?

The Demon of Saint-Eli
When a young devout woman seek out his help, the mysterious private investigator Simeon Engels knows that something peculiar is happening behind the masquerade of the town's most powerful man. But he will need to be careful... for justice can very easily be mistaken for bloodlust. The first ever short story of mine to earn a Mature filter (as it typically makes me uncomfortable to write dark and gritty stories), and, another first, one completely outside of the universes of my previous stories. It's completely standalone, with its own mythology and fantasy/realism rules, etc. Which made it even more so liberating, as I no longer needed to stick within an existing continuity in terms of what's possible and what's not. The Demon of Saint-Eli is the introduction (in an hopefully long collection of short stories) of an OC that I have come to love the concept for months: Simeon Engels, the mysterious private investigator that hides a greater secret than anyone could ever guess. At first wishing it to be a Victorian/film noir hybrid, I changed it instead to a steampunk setting, that allowed a greater range of what could be integrated in the story. Overall, I hope you enjoy this story. I hope to make it into a collection of stories revolving around the adventures and character development of Simeon Engels, and I hope that you will find him as interesting as I conceptualize him to be. 9th May 2021: this story is now part of a sale of art for charity. This will remain up for previewing the stories, but upon purchase, will be removed from Wattpad.

He tilted his head and stayed silent until he reached me then slammed his hands on both sides of the wall, parallel to my head - trapping me. 'What the hell, Seth? You're scaring me,' I get annoyed.

One and only - A Twilight Fanfiction
ONE AND ONLY (Reedited) A Note to Readers: This story is currently being reedited and polished to a higher standard for pacing and emotional impact. Thank you for your patience as we make the story even better! The Enemy Line Has Just Become Her Heartbreak. Veronica Cullen has it all: the comfort of a powerful family, a big brother who can read minds, and the fierce, absolute love of the Cullens. Her loyalty to them is everything. As a human raised by vampires, she knows the rules are simple: never cross the border into La Push, and never interact with the savage Quileute "mutts." She broke both rules in one disastrous afternoon. When Veronica accidentally crashes into the territory of the enemy, she finds herself facing Paul Lahote, a hot-headed, devastatingly attractive wolf. He is everything her family fears: wild, unpredictable, and dangerously warm. The treaty that keeps the Cullens safe forbids any contact. But Paul has just been hit by the Imprint, a biological command that tells him Veronica is his soulmate, his anchor, his life. And Veronica is caught in the middle: torn between her undying loyalty to the family who saved her, and the crushing, immediate pull of the forbidden boy who ran the moment he heard her last name. She belongs to the coldest heart in Forks. He belongs to the pack that wants them dead. What happens when the only thing keeping them apart is the war they were born into? (I don't own the twilight characters but I added a few fictional ones. The plot also changes as I don't intend to ENTIRELY follow the movie.) Wishing you a HAPPY READING!!!
