She was never just a girl. She was a scar stitched together by silence.
Morgan has known pain for as long as she can remember. Behind closed doors, her parents made sure no part of her was ever truly safe - not her body, not her thoughts, not even her dreams. At school, the cruelty only continued, each taunt and bruise blending into a blur of days where she learned to keep her head down and her heart guarded.
Everyone looked away.
But something didn't.
Something watched.
The darkness was always there - not just the shadows in her room or the places she hid to escape - but something deeper, older, patient. It sees everything she's endured. And now, it whispers.
It doesn't want to hurt her.
It wants to protect her.
Even if that means burning everything else to ash.
A haunting psychological tale of trauma, survival, and the eerie comfort found in the coldest of places, The Darkness That Sees explores what happens when the only thing that truly understands you... is the darkness itself.

The Divine Devil
Every crown is a curse, and every heir is a sacrifice, When peace lies in bloody nights what will happen when the her ice cold heart melts in this warm embrace? She was not the woman she appeared to be. Behind those sharp eyes and cold composure was a soul shattered by betrayal and heartbreak. Once, she had known laughter, softness, and trust-but those days were long buried beneath layers of pain and rage. The scars of her past had carved away the girl she used to be, leaving behind a woman with a heart frozen in ice. Trust was a luxury she could no longer afford, and love? Love had become a cruel illusion she no longer believed in. All that remained was a single, burning desire-revenge. It was her fuel, her purpose, and the reason she rose each day with fire in her veins and steel in her gaze. She had become a devil in the eyes of many, but they didn't know the story behind the flames. And then, he came. A man unlike any she had ever known-warm where she was cold, gentle where she was fierce. He saw the thorns and bled willingly just to hold the rose. He didn't flinch at her anger or retreat from her silence. Instead, he embraced her darkness like it was a part of him. To him, she wasn't broken-she was beautiful in ways the world failed to understand. He loved her not despite her demons, but because of them. For the first time in years, she felt the warmth of something unfamiliar-hope. He would give up everything for her: his name, his pride, even his morals. Not because he was weak, but because his love for her was that strong. He didn't want to fix her-he only wanted to hold her, to show her that she didn't have to fight alone.
Wings of deceit
A tale of love not told in the light, but a tale told in the shadows. Of broken chains and bleeding hearts learning how to beat again. Once a slave, always a slave. It didn't matter how much you'd like to deny the fact; it wasn't possible. One couldn't outrun fate and time itself. No one was born free. So why did everyone seek freedom, despite knowing it was unobtainable? The reason was simple: because it hurt to live being chained. Building trust with a person who has known hell itself all their life wasn't bound to be easy or pretty. Hidden beneath the layers can hide the cruelest things. A past a person would want to forever bury. He wore a mask to survive. But what happens when someone sees through it? 'He was supposed to be a savior. Instead, he unearthed every buried scar that I swore no one would ever see.' For a moment he hated having his scars being unveiled. But after a while, he noticed that wasn't the case. ------------ This story explores themes of trauma, emotional healing, and much more sensitive themes. Reader discretion is advised. (If you read all this you can skip the part that says: "Part I: Unearthing buried scars.")

Especially when shadows of the past still lurk where no one can see. Enter Devansh Malhotra, a gifted architect with a gaze that feels like he's reading chapters she's buried deep within herself.

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete

The snow never forgets. That's the first thing they learned when they found her- half-dead, half-shadow, and entirely silent. She wore a scar like a warning. She had no name... or too many. And her eyes? Storm-grey. Unbothered. Unblinking. Unforgiving. They chained her. Whipped her. Tried to break her open like a confession. She smiled instead. They said she was a terrorist. A spy. A ghost. No one knew the truth. But when word spread that he was coming- The Director. The Ghost Hunter. Even the storm outside quieted. Because some stories aren't just secrets. They're scars with a heartbeat. And this one? It started with a girl on her knees... and ends when they both stop breathing.Complete
