Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

Masochistic Sonder | 𝐻𝒮 | Harry Styles
based on 2775 - a girl being the love interest of two people is cliché, not until its been from the beginning of time, it becomes even more intriguing when one of them comes back to take what thou presumes theirs. Aaliyah, successful writer, very wealthy and she has the life that most girls want whereas Harry, model and art teacher, is mysterious, Harry is a perfect fit for Aaliyah's habit of wanting and keeping things she considers pretty. William is what Aaliyah first called a winged being, with a familiar look which makes her not mind his sudden company. It won't be a normal life for Aaliyah, once one of her forbidden star-crossed lovers will break a universal law just for her. "Nobody's perfect, like look at me then, I sat across Harry, he might have been one year or a month younger than me, everything about him looked tremendously ethereal: his hands that gently wrapped around each other and his eyes that hid behind his curly hair." Chapter Three- "Let Me Call You Mr Styles." This story has nothing to do with Harry Styles (I had to use his name- and surname, they're so cute!) whereas his features and physical traits are. Mature content might be featured in a few chapters! - "You poor thing," he said, walking over to me, I could feel his energy moving across my room but I ignored it and packed the rest of the pieces of stuff inside my purse. He suddenly clenched onto my arms and pulled me nearer to him, positioning his hand on my cheek, I felt a type of warmth I had never felt in a long time and I instinctively smothered my face against his soft palm. "You're still the same," he chuckled. "I would have anticipated this behaviour from Bastet, not you but I guess you must have picked up her manner," he added. ☆FEATURED ON in YAFantasy RL 🏅#44 EGYPT 🏅#11 SPIRITUALITY 🏅#74 WOC 🏅#49 HS 🏅#15 PUBLISHED 🏅#10 PARANORMAL-ROMANCEComplete

Connections: Stories
From a simple conversation happening between two Filipina astronauts, to an individual confessing his true feelings to the person he loves, to a failed missing person's investigation and the lover searching for his whereabouts in the Philippines, to a story about the woeful memories surrounding a rabbit plushie in the United Kingdom; a conversation happening between people at night with a campfire, about spirits and passion, in Norway; to a dying animal's thoughts about the person that saved it, to the letters given to the person that matters to one's life, to a man trapped in a cursed town and more. These 30 stories compiled in the months of August 2023 - February 2024, made in handwritten yellow pad papers and shared to the world for the first time shows that there are ways we find to connect with others through the stories we tell to one another. Stories dealing with the loss of a loved one, the horrors of reality, about the challenges faced in life, a longing for the person we loved, the laughter shared in-between, the hopes we treasure for tomorrow and beyond and of the little interactions that happen in life. It is through the attachments, love, support, consistency, determination and dreams do we find the will to push through and accomplish what needs to be done that is set out for us to tackle. Goals and art; sacrifices made and understood; and the belief that chasing the dream is all worth it and that it helps us connect and inspire us to do what matters the most.

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
