"Damn" I said under my breath as I looked towards the man. He showed his face into the torchlight and grinned at me. His pale face seemed to glow gold in the torchlight. His red eyes pulsed as I saw his teeth, they weren't normal human teeth. Two sharp fangs hung just over his bottom lip as he smiled. My mouth dropped open as he backed away from the light

The Professor's Rule
One night. One stolen kiss. One forbidden touch. It was supposed to be just a moment-an escape. But the moment we shared came with consequences I didn't expect. When I walked into his lecture the next day, everything I felt for him crashed down-and he's now the man I answer to. Every glance. Every brush of his hand.

The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind.

Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?Complete
Within The Ash
Andre threw his head back and screamed in agony as the flames began to consume his flesh. Just than Athan gently placed his huge hand in front of my eyes. "You don't need to see this darling" He was right I didn't need to see it. But I could still hear his screams of agony as I knew he was dying the most terrible death. He didn't deserve it. Tony deserved it not Andre. The screams lasted hours because vampires were hard to kill. And finally they stopped. Athan uncovered my eyes and my tears covered his hand that held my eyes shut. He didn't bother to wipe my tears from his hand but instead ran his fingers through my matted hair. I glanced over to the tree that held Andre's body but my head was jerked away and I met the gaze of Athan immediately. "You don't wanna look" he said with sorrow in his own voice.Complete

PHILTATOS // Foolish X Reader
THE FALL OF AN EMPIRE BOOK TWO -- Approaching Anoitos' temple again, you opened the door, turning as you stepped inside to close it again. The door closing with a satisfying clunk, you spun back around, intending to just quickly bow your head and grab your beads without much circumstance. You were not expecting to see a man, mid-way through stuffing his face with the plate of offerings you had brought, at the altar, his eyes blown wide with panic and focused on you. You stared back at him. "I- you- what are you doing? Who are you? How-?" You turned halfway back to the door, intending to run for one of the guards. "Wait!" The man's voice drew your attention back to him, just in time to see his appearance shift slightly - like there was something behind the mirage of his skin. For a moment - the man was gone, and in his place, a living replica of the hulking gold warrior depicted in the statue took his place. Your hand dropped from the handle of the door, staring up at the god before you. Out of all the times for your prayers to be answered... and of all ways, like this... "See?" He said, shrinking back to the man you had seen before, the boyish smile you knew so well still on his face. "It's just me!" Standing before you, with crumbs of bread on his face, was Anoitos, somehow - impossibly - in the flesh.Complete
Scales
Slowly, Blade rose to his feet and held his hands up. The man stepped closer and grabbed his arm. Blade looked down at the hand that held him. The skin was rough and appeared to be cracked into dark, solid flakes. The fingers were bony and narrow with long, curved nails. Blade looked up into the man's face. As he shifted, Blade saw a pair of bright green eyes set into a face that was definitely not human. The creature was bald with scaly skin and two slits for a nose. It began dragging him back through the forest. "What are you? What do you want with me?" Blade demanded. "Back home," the creature answered. "No escape this time."
