Elara Moore's world shattered the night the fire took her sister.

It was supposed to be just a bit of fun. The house across the street had been abandoned for over a century, old, weathered, and whispered about in town legends. One evening, Elara's family decided to explore it together, curious and unaware of the darkness that lingered inside. Her father, lacking a flashlight, struck a match to light their way. But a single touch on the neck changed everything. The match was dropped... and the fire spread faster than anyone could react. In the chaos and smoke, Elara's younger sister, Lydia, was lost.All Rights Reserved

Twin Paranormal: Monster In The Pub by Piratebloomers

Ryan, River, and Wyatt travel to a haunted restaurant to film a new video for their channel. There, they meet new friends and encounter an entity with a real attitude problem.

Ashes To The Tides by jacopsj

Elara has always known one truth: if anyone discovers what the water does for her, she will be hunted. Witches without covens don't survive long. Witches with rare gifts don't survive at all. When Elara is brought aboard the Obsidian Reaver, a ship feared across every charted sea. Its crew is made of wolf-blooded warriors, sharp-eyed vampires, and outcasts bound together by something fiercer than loyalty. They are everything she should fear. Yet they are the first ones who don't look at her like a tool or a threat. They protect her. Defend her. Some watch her too closely... especially Yuno, whose quiet warmth pulls at her in ways she cannot risk. But the sea is shifting. Her magic is growing. And something old, older than witches, older than bloodlines, is stirring under her skin, demanding to be seen. If anyone discovers it, she will become a target. A prize. A hunted thing. The Reavers would fight for her. Yuno would bleed for her. But as ancient tomes whisper of forgotten powers and sealed paths, Elara begins to fear a truth darker than any enemy ship: She cannot hide what she is becoming. And the moment she loses control... the world will come for her.

Aeterna Noctis by kikibacks

In the dark, there are no saviors. Only predators... and the bargains we make with them. Elara Vance is dying. Her rare blood is both a curse and a death sentence, and when it begins to claim her younger sister, she is left with one desperate choice. Her only hope lies in a whispered legend: a mysterious, reclusive patron of the night who can grant miracles for a price. The price is her freedom. Kaelen Valerius is ancient, powerful, and weary of eternity. When a mortal woman invokes his ancient pact, he expects another fleeting distraction. But Elara is different. Her very presence is a spark in his endless night, and her blood sings a siren's call that threatens to shatter his icy control. He offers her a year of servitude in his gothic estate in exchange for the medicine that can save her sister's life. Trapped in a world of shifting alliances and ancient feuds, Elara finds herself drawn to the enigmatic vampire lord. Every guarded glance is a battle, every accidental touch a spark that could ignite a dangerous passion. But as a deadly conspiracy rises from the shadows, threatening to burn their dark world to the ground, the line between prisoner and obsession begins to blur. In a game of blood and power, can a love born of desperation survive the coming dawn? Or will the secrets of the eternal night consume them both? ---

OUTLAWED by Bella66

Elara, a young girl born into a broken world, where the royal family holds absolute power and mages-those with the ability to manipulate the elements-are hunted to the death. After witnessing the brutal murder of her father at the hands of the royal family, Elara's mother hides her daughter's identity, pretending to be the mage in order to protect her. But when the royal family learns of a new mage bearing a powerful mark, they arrive at Elara's home, and her mother sacrifices herself to save her daughter. With her mother's death haunting her and the royal family's forces hot on her trail, Elara flees into the woods, unveiling the magic she's kept hidden for years. In the depths of the forest, Elara discovers a hidden group of mages-boys and girls, families-each with their own elemental power: fire, water, earth, air, blood, metal, and ice. For the first time in her life, Elara is not alone. But her refuge is fragile. As the royal family intensifies its search, Elara must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows or rise up with these newfound allies to reclaim her life and bring justice to those who destroyed her family. With vengeance in her heart, Elara's journey becomes a fight for survival, and a rebellion against the oppressive rule that has outlawed her very existence.

Edge of the Unseen by TatianaLenghardov9

They say the mind protects itself. But what if the mind is the real killer? Detective Elara Vance is no stranger to the darkness. Haunted by fractured memories and a past she cannot fully recall, she has built a life on chasing monsters-monsters she knows all too well. When a series of ritualistic murders shakes the city, Elara is drawn into a chilling game of cat and mouse. Each victim bears the same mark: a yellow thread, delicate as spider silk, wrapped tightly around the wrist. And always, just out of reach, she glimpses a figure in the shadows-a woman in yellow gloves, watching. Waiting. As Elara hunts the killer, strange distortions in reality begin to unravel her grip on the world around her. Memories slip, nightmares bleed into waking hours, and those she trusts most seem to shift in the corners of her vision. The closer she gets to the truth, the more Elara realizes: Some horrors are better left unseen. Some monsters are born from within.

Twice Born by Deluluafchild

Grief can open doors the living were never meant to find. After losing her brother, Elowen Anderson thought the worst was behind her. But grief doesn't rest, it lingers, it listens. There's a threat. It's patient, and it has it's set on a target...Her Visions bleed into reality. Memories that aren't hers claw their way into her mind. A forgotten man-Dionys Kaltheris, a soul twisted by betrayal and agony-reaches for her through the cracks of time. Yet the more she learns of his pain, the harder it becomes to tell who the true monster is, the hollow spirit that haunts her, or the world that made him. As the veil between the living and the dead begins to tear, Elowen discovers that the restless are not alone. Spirits roam the earth-some lost, others consumed by vengeance-and from beneath them rise the Demons of the Underworld, the architects of suffering who keep souls chained to despair. Drawn into a war she never chose, Elowen must decide whether to fight for the living, to save herself and her loved ones-or to understand the dead. Her path will cross fear, grief, a soulless spirit that has his eyes on her, her brother reaching out from the afterlife itself, memories that aren't hers, spirit exorcists, fractured loyalties, and truths too heavy to bear. And when the time comes, she'll learn that some salvation demands sacrifice.

Midnight | BuzzFeed Unsolved (REWRITING) by -miniminnie

"I swear to god, Shane. If that's you I will-" Ryan looked behind him, to find his buddy disappeared without a trace. The creaking crept louder and louder, almost like footsteps. Ryan quickly turned his flashlight on. Nothing. "SHANE" He yelled as his finger tips turned ice-cold. The coldness spread throughout his body. "Oh god..." ------------------------------------------- Started: May 23, 2018 Ended: December 25, 2018

DOLL FACE by shelovessto_read

When Elara arrives at her grandmother Margret's secluded estate, she hopes for peace and healing-but instead finds herself drawn into a chilling web of mystery. A porcelain doll in the attic seems to hold a sinister presence, strange whispers echo through the halls, and mirrors begin to reflect things that shouldn't exist. As Elara unravels fragments of a long-buried past, she discovers a journal and cryptic clues that hint at a forbidden love, ancestral secrets, and a lingering darkness that refuses to die. The more she searches, the more reality fractures around her. With each passing day, the house-and the curse tied to it-tightens its grip. And when Elara thinks she's escaped its reach, a final, haunting twist reminds her: some horrors are inherited... and some dolls are never truly gone.
