The Devil I Let In

I don't remember when the silence stopped feeling safe.
One day it's just me and the quiet-my routine, my careful steps. The next, it's shadows leaning too close. Letters showing up with no name. And a voice I'm sure I've heard before, waiting in the dark.
Little by little, my world starts slipping out from under me. And when fighting to hold on feels impossible, I'm left with a choice:
Keep pretending nothing's wrong...
Or let myself fall.
Because the worst kind of devil isn't the one that breaks down your door. It's the one you let in yourself.

TRAPPED IN HIS EYES
Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love. You never stop to wonder if the hands you hold today will be the same ones that destroy you tomorrow. I never did. I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 ObsessionComplete
Give me shelter
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete
Someone New ✓
"There comes a point where you no longer care if there's a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You're just sick of the tunnel." - Who I am doesn't matter. How I got here doesn't matter. What matters now is I'm getting help, right? That's what they tell me here. They tell me that the road to recovery feels like a terrible butt fuck, but the fact that you're on the path to begin with, is all that matters. So as I sit in this circle of fuck ups, I realize just how different I am from them. I didn't attempt suicide because my mother was a crack addict who didn't want me. My father wasn't abusive. I didn't have a sibling die in a car accident. I was never really bullied either. I attempted suicide because, for the first time in years, I thought I had found something that could make me feel again... and after not feeling much at all for far too long, perhaps I went a bit overboardComplete
You Got Me
Louise doesn't believe in curses. But it's hard to ignore the whispers - the way people look at her when something terrible happens. First love. First loss. Then another boy. Another goodbye. And now... someone is watching. Notes. Flowers. Polaroids that shouldn't exist. And journal entries from a voice that claims to know her better than anyone else ever could. Everyone says to move on. But Louise can't shake the feeling that the past is circling back. That the person she trusted most is hiding in the silence. And this time, they're not just watching. They're waiting.Complete
The Grand Theater ( ENG )
Synopsis: During the day, the world appears ordinary. Schools are filled with laughter, friendship, and peaceful days that seem free of worry. Helen, Zin, and the people around them live seemingly simple lives, as though there is nothing to fear. But when night falls, a different world begins to move. Murders take place in the shadows. Secret organizations pursue their own agendas. One secret after another slowly comes to light. And those who are labeled as criminals sometimes become the very people who save those with no one else to protect them. In this world, no one is entirely good, and no one is entirely evil. Everyone has something they wish to protect, something they believe in, and a goal they are willing to pursue at any cost. When those beliefs collide, not every choice has a right answer. Meanwhile, unnoticed by anyone, fragments of mysteries that seem unrelated begin to come together, forming a much larger picture. A story that has been unfolding for a very long time. A performance that has yet to reveal its true ending. The Grand Theater
Almighty Beings: Beings Of Love
"Life had been a series of moves with my mom, but then we decided to settle down so she could follow her dream of opening a bakery with her best friend. We even made a deal: I'd brave the halls of public school again, a place I hadn't seen since I was little, and in return, I'd help out at the bakery. It felt like a real turning point, a chance for some stability. But then... things took a bizarre turn. A horrifying encounter, a rush of unsettling sensations, and suddenly my world is tilted on its axis. I can't tell reality from fantasy. I can't tell if I'm a murderer, worse, or if I have simply gone insane. I'm praying it's the latter."Complete
The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete
Spellbond & Bloodbound
"I should run. I always do. And I'm good at it. But this time... something feels different. Maybe it's the place. Or maybe it's a certain someone who makes me want to stay. Even though he's made it painfully clear that I'm not welcome here, a part of me feels connected-like I belong. I should stop overthinking. Just this once... maybe I should let my heart decide."Complete
