In the quiet town of Nuwik, beauty hides something far more dangerous than anyone dares to imagine. The Lumina River-glowing an unnatural shade of pink-draws visitors from everywhere, all eager to witness its strange, mesmerizing charm. But the townspeople know better than to get too close... especially at dusk.

They whisper about her.

A mysterious woman beneath the surface. A creature no one names. A presence that watches.

Twelve-year-old Marilyn has never feared the river. While others keep their distance, she is drawn to it-spending her days painting, singing, and staring into its shimmering depths. But curiosity has a cost. Because something beneath the water has begun watching her too... studying her... wanting her.

Banished from her own world and consumed by bitterness, Nylin-the creature in the river-is no ordinary mermaid. She is a shapeshifter, a predator, and a force of quiet destruction. By day, she hides below the surface. By night, she walks among humans, charming her victims before dragging them into the depths where no one returns.

As disappearances mount and fear spreads through Nuwik, Marilyn unknowingly steps closer to the truth-and into Nylin's grasp.

What begins as fascination turns into obsession. What feels like beauty becomes horror.

And once the river chooses you...
you never escape.

Vampire's Pet by cannoness
88 parts Complete Mature
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake
