Marionne Eveningstar, a girl ostracised by her peers due to descending from an alleged witch, finds an old manuscript titled 'Desire's Eden' in the old mansion her family inherited from her grandmother, the late 'crazy lady' of the fictional town Swellton. The words of the book, appearing to be written by blood, promise Marionne power and nigh-omnipotence, and once she reads it, even her most twisted desires come true after the sun sets. Marionne slowly descends into madness as she is unable to stop the ones around her from suffering cruel fates, some even worse than death. Whatever she wishes for, she gets. Even if she doesn't really want it. This is an origin story. The making of the goddess Nihtwode.

Soul Mates
Watching Anna, she was actually down stairs sipping water quietly. I couldn't help but stare at her. Her usually midnight drink. "Thirsty." "Oh, uncle you startled me." She had backed away from me as I tried to touch her. I had been needing her touch more and more. "Why are you so afraid of me?" "What are you talking about?" She nervously giggled as she crept backwards. "I have notice a few things and well you cower at my touch. Tell me Anna, do I frightened you?" Have I in someway? I wondered. "No, uncle," she stepped closer to me pressing her palm on my chest proving that she is not the least bit frightened. "You don't scare me one bit." Her lips were smiling but her eyes had told me a different story. "The prove it." I was now leaning as she had licked her own lips. Fuck I want to taste those lips. "How." Her breath sent me shivers down my core. Further leaning in, I pulled her closer, my hand now firmly on her back as my lips made contact with hers. She hesitated at first, I could feel she was withdrawn but that didn't stop me from taking what I wanted. Kissing her made me forget. I know I shouldn't but I wanted to forget what I had lost. Is it wrong of me to think like that? But this kiss felt so right. Why? She felt perfect beneath me. At that moment I wanted more, I wanted everything she would give me. I wanted her. "What the fuck is going on here." The lights instantly turned on revealing a very pissed of Megan. "Megan I can explain." "How, when I just witness you kissing the one who had killed our child." ***** Do you believe in soul mate because we are destined to be with that one person that makes us whole....Complete

The same repetitive cycle of sitting around the same boring home, interacting with the same small clutch of friends has lead to them finding some interesting ways of passing the time. Jonesy, though, never really bought into the whole "devil worshiping" thing from the start. It was more about a change of pace from the tedium. Or, that's what he likes to tell himself. Weeks of unremarkable attempts at summoning a creature from the underworld to do their halfhearted bidding come to a head on yet another dull, autumn evening with the arrival of a fire-haired "Princess of Hell" who goes by only one name; Etna. Things quickly slip out of hand when she makes abundantly clear that her lengthy trip from home has a singular focus. A goal which only Jonesy knows full well the deeper meaning, and consequences, of, even if he is yet unwilling to admit this to himself. His new companion, however, will ensure that he remembers every instance in which he sought her return from memories long since repressed, but not forgotten. When that reminder comes in the form of the Devil's adorable, young, millenniums-old niece, he finds himself unwilling to deny her promise to once again become his Everything. They say that the Devil sees all and forgets nothing... So does Etna.Complete
