Little did Susan know, the peace she felt that evening before the dream, would be the last time she would ever feel at ease. Deep in the bowels of the Earth a medieval world exists, covered in perpetual darkness and embroiled in a war between an evil king and a majestic queen. The king in his desire to brutally rule his own world and all worlds creates a beast and sends it upward to the modern and thriving open air lands. Its instructions very simple; kill everyone. The beast quickly begins its gruesome task by slaughtering all in its path creating zombie-like creatures that help fulfil their master's blood lust. A young woman, from a small village, has the power and ability to predict the future. She sees the unthinkable horror stalking the Earth, and along with the few who believe her story, tries desperately to find a way to fight and kill this ultimate adversary. A young man with a secret past, without a home or future, finds out the safety of the world rests upon his shoulders. With a voice guiding him, he travels the dark and dangerous paths of the undiscovered mythical world to retrieve the only weapon capable of killing the beast. Then, having returned from the depths of the Earth, the mysterious man seeks the young woman out, and together they enter into a battle to save the world.

Psychopath ✔ (Undergoing EDITING) by Peach-EGirl

I tilt my head, eyes glaring towards the woman " I'm not a psychopath if that's what you're asking , sweetheart" "So what is your say in murdering the innocent?"She questions " oh that? ,let's just say it relieves stress, kinda like a hobby" She quickly scribbles that down, my eyes follow the pen before flickering towards her face. I lean forward. "But, who said those i have killed, where innocent" She suddenly pauses, looking up to me. I smirk.

"I'm not crazy." I said quietly, I looked up slowly. Staring at the black screen, rattling the cuffs they put me in. "I didn't kill them." I screamed, pulling harder at the cuffs that were digging into my wrists. I felt a tear slide down my cheek. **Disclaimer: This book is purely fictional, the characters and description of the asylum are highly exaggerated and not based on facts.**

"I didn't kill him." I repeated the same line over and over again. He wasn't dead. I knew it. I know that he's alive. "I didn't kill him." He had to be out there, but it didn't matter now. They wouldn't let me out of here no matter how much I begged. "I'm not crazy and he's not dead!" I yelled out. No one answered. I began rocking back and forth. "I didn't kill him."
