The heavy silence was cut with the sweet song of a bell. The heart stopping melody played though the air and quickly turned into frantic clattering. Joseph sat still and let out the breath he had been holding. His feet caught up with his head and he bolted towards the shed meters from his spot. His heart beat fell in time with the bell almost like a metronome. His sweat covered hand griped a shovel and he forced his feet to move towards the awaken body. 

 This was Joseph's job. To watch the dead.

Buried Secrets by ElHeffe00
31 parts Ongoing
*Buried Secrets* is a chilling, atmospheric novel that delves into the haunting mysteries of a long-abandoned Victorian estate shrouded in generations of dark secrets and ghostly whispers. When Clara inherits the sprawling property from her estranged family, she expects to find little more than a crumbling mansion and forgotten memories. Instead, she's plunged into a labyrinth of eerie artifacts, hidden rooms, and the ghostly presence of an unseen Entity that lurks in the shadows. As Clara sifts through old journals and ancient family letters, she uncovers the fragmented life of her ancestor Evelyn, a woman tormented by strange visions and haunted by the same entity that now watches Clara's every move. An oppressive silence fills the estate, each creaking floorboard and shivering curtain a reminder of the untold horrors buried within. The story follows Clara as she gradually unearths her family's dark legacy, grappling with supernatural forces that refuse to be laid to rest. Guided only by Evelyn's cryptic diary entries and the reluctant help of Father Dominic-a priest with his own haunting history-Clara confronts long-buried sins and the inexplicable presence that holds the estate in its grasp. Her journey is both terrifying and transformative, forcing her to question her own fears, her family's legacy, and the very boundaries between life and death. *Buried Secrets* is a tale of suspense, redemption, and the power of confronting the past, blending Gothic horror with a relentless, creeping dread that keeps readers on edge until the final page.
The Mute Mate by alyssag246
27 parts Complete Mature
Her fathers snores rumbled within the house but soon quieted as he awoke from his slumber. Abigail held the blanket closer to her and hid under it as her door was opened. Her wooden floor creaked under the pressure of his feet. A loud sigh went through the room and her father left the room before closing the door. Her brows furrowed in confusion. Nothing? No yelling or screaming? No slaps or punches? Nothing. It seems that her father was in one of his moods again. Upset about his wife who had died in a car when Abigail was just a baby. The next morning they would both be moving again to a small town in Wisconsin, US. New school. New people. New place. But one thing will never change... no talking. Ever. She would have to stay away from everyone.

C. 1940 **************************************************************************************************** Grace Gabriel. A young girl with a dull vision on the world. Her perspective on life is limited. She follows a precise routine everyday. In which she visits the towns cemetery daily, a particular grave stone that appealed to her many months ago. The town low populated and very old. She took it upon herself to take care of the grave and not allow it to return to its previous state. Thanks to her found routine, Grace also has someone to talk to. Even if the grave is dated over seventy years ago and the man is dead. So imagine her disappointment when the deaths in town increase and her favored grave is to be dug up and disposed of. Now imagine finding out the next day that this particular grave was later found empty along with the cemetery keepers dead, and blood drained body? On another not, just because someone is dead, doesn't always mean that they can't hear right?

15 parts Complete
(Y/N) (L/N), a girl who could stand for her own one minute, and be a helpless mess the next. She wasn't proud of her way of life, or the place she lived, but she didn't hate it either. She was the way she was, scatterbrained and living with her mother, father, and a few curious animals all until someone decided to crash her party. Ok- so, this story is in the process of being rewritten, though not in the normal way most people do. You can still read the first 'draft,' that won't be deleted, and the rewritten portion is after that.

***HIGHEST RANKING IN VAMPIRE*** #3 - 26-9-2018 #4 - 13-8-2018 and 23-09-2018 #5 - 29-8-2018 and 5-9-2018 "What happened?" It's all I can muster at this stage but I figure it's a place to start. "You had a head injury and passed out. I cleaned you up and put you in here to rest." His voice is now calm, much different to what I heard from the other room. "You said you cleaned me up. Did you also change my clothes?" I recall his words and am almost too shocked to ask about his invasion of my privacy. A devilish smile crosses his lips as he coyly looks at his feet. He is enjoying my embarrassment. "You're clothes had blood on them and I wasn't about to put you in a clean bed with dirty clothes on. Trust me; you have nothing I haven't seen before." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vampires are real and after an eternity of hiding, they have chosen to let the world know of their existence. But when they emerged from the shadows, they were met with hostility and discernment. It wasn't long until they were segregated from humans and forced to live in Vampire Only areas while the rest of the world went on with their lives. Fed up with this malicious arrangement, the vampires waged a war on mankind and came out the victors. Mankind were forced to retreat behind concrete walls designed to keep vampires at bay and this is where they stayed for decades. Evie is a human that has just fallen victim to a trap set by vampires so that she can be used as a source of food or even a plaything for a high bidding vampire. But to her bewilderment, she is taken to Alex. A dangerous and high ranking vampire that enjoys toying with his victims. Knowing how precarious this vampire is, Evie still can't shake the feeling that his striking blue eyes are reminiscent of something but what. But what lengths will she go to find out more about him and every other vampire? I guess it's true what they say. Opposites really do attract.

VIOLENCE,VERY MATURE CONTENT 18+ Bella - " Please leave me sir i am a very simple girl, i am not your type neither i am of your use, you will get any girl i be..... Michael - "don't push me baby, it will go in vein" - i opened the drawer simultaneously grabbing her hands and pulled a handcuff set from it. I cuffed her hands each side on the bedpost. Bella - "what why are you caging me .... Aahh what are you doing leave me for god sake... " - i started crying badly and was flinching whenever he tried to touch me. Michael - "now look at yourself, you look so beautiful tied up , in a helpless state, I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT, ANYWHERE I WANT WITH YOU" nowadays you will observe people with no obsession or no possessiveness for their lover or partner which is quite boring. Being possessive and obsessed with your partner adds more power and seriousness in the essence of love and this quote signifies my thought perfectly that "everything is fair in love and war". ENJOY the story of two people very opposite to each other where Michael Romano is ruthless and a cruel king of powerful Mafia Empire who have only seen gore and bloodshed in his life, he inflicts pain in a sense where you cant even imagine. On the other side a girl Bella Mathews with a very simple yet difficult lifestyle where she tries to earn for her family with handwork and wisdom. things will take turn when she will be kidnapped and ruined in the clutches of Michael.

Serenity [Sir-ren-ity] : The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Chaos [Kay-os] : Complete disorder and confusion. ♕♕♕ With being the Don of one of the biggest and baddest mafia families Luciano was never at ease with himself. He never felt like he was sane. Always shedding blood, murdering, selling drugs, robbing banks. He was so much chaos. He needed peace. Serenity's life was agonizingly calm. She thought it was boring with her simple routine of wake up, eat, read, sleep, maybe- if she's lucky, go out with friends, then repeat. Boring cycle of truth. She wanted some spice. Some chaos. ♕♕♕ "I just told you that I'm making you come with me to Italy- a whole other country and you're response was 'YES' ?" Luciano watched me with admiration in his dark grey eyes. I shrugged, "Yeah. I'm bored. Like..painfully bored." Luciano's eyebrow stayed raised and his eyes stayed admiring my words. "Aren't you a little crazy thing huh Bella..I'll keep that in mind." ♕♕♕ Ever since that 1 night Serenity went out with her college friend group and ran into a murder/torture fight in the tight alley way of Chicago, she's been on Luciano's mind. As him, on hers. The two were attracted to each other because of good and bad things. Luciano's attraction to Serenity was simply because her aura radiated that she was sane. Safe. Serenity's attraction to Luciano was the complete opposite. Call her crazy if you will but, a tall, handsome, Italian mafia Don was exactly what she was craving for.
