I have been accused of many things in my life: murderer, traitor, master of the dark arts. I admit to being well-versed in the dark arts. I had my reasons, as do all who take a wrong turn on the winding path of life’s experiences. I learned to embrace the darkness.
She was light to my darkness. She saw clearly, where others only saw shadows. The followers of the crucified god speak of looking “through a glass darkly.” Not her. She never saw through that glass darkly.
For the first time in my life, I also saw as I thought through that glass clearly. I knew, from the first moment I saw her, from the first time we accidentally touched, that she would be my damnation. Little did I know that glass was clouded, as she would also be my salvation.

Compeer
Many people believe that the blind are only those who can't see. They are wrong. Everyone is blind, in one way or another. Blindness comes in many forms. Those who are blind to the evils of the world are blind to reality. Those who are blinded by beauty are consequently blind to the fact that it comes with a price. And those who are blinded by light are also blind to the notion that it is accompanied by shadows. And though I must admit that I, too, was not above being blind. I knew the shadows all too well. My life was lead in the shadow of a wall; I was born shrouded in it, and if it were up to them, I would die the same way as well. The very moment I began to understand the world around me was the same moment it came crashing down. For at that moment, I realized that this wasn't my world. It was theirs. I had previously said that I was not immune to blindness. I knew I was different, but as they say, everybody is different for a reason. But I was blind to the fact that my reason was him. I was blind to the cruel twist of Fate that allowed my captor to become my liberator, and I was blinded again by the same cruel twist of Fate that made my liberator my captor. I was blind to the implications of making a deal quite literally signed in blood, and I was blind to the fact that it would bind me to the life of another for eternity as we knew it. I was born for him. He was born to kill. But, despite being blind to all this, I swore would never be blind to one thing: Though I may wear the Devil's Heart around my neck and His mark on my skin, I will never call myself a vampire's Compeer.Complete

I wanted to love someone who knew complexity but was humble Someone who knew dark but was light Someone who knew how to hurt but didn't Someone who knew how to rule but didn't And right there I realised That I was searching just the opposite of what I was Of what I felt Because when you are dark you want light right? But you changed my mind You showed me the light and you showed me the dark You showed me the power and you showed me weakness You showed me love and you showed me hate You showed me how to live and not survive You taught me to choose, to take choices But you never taught me how to die How to leave You showed me everything but now I have nothing, I am nothing Just a reminder in your brain Of when I was physical Of when my blood pumped freely through my veinsComplete
A LOVE SONG UNSUNG
He was 23, and she was 18. They stood together in the registry office, ready to sign the papers that would officially make them husband and wife. It was a secret marriage-only his friend and his girlfriend knew about it. He signed first, then handed her the pen with a smile, but her heart raced as doubt and insecurity clouded her thoughts. Was this the right decision? What if his father found out about the marriage? Would his family accept an orphan and a maid like her as a daughter-in-law? What if, after fulfilling his desires, he grew tired of her and abandoned her? She had no one to stand up for her, no one to turn to if things went wrong. Was it true love, or was he simply lusting after her? Why would a billionaire's son want her? He could have anyone-maybe even a movie star-but he chose her. Why? Despite her fears, her love for him was genuine. Slowly, she lifted her gaze to meet his, her insecurities weighing heavy on her heart. He took her hand in his, offering a gentle squeeze, then motioned for her to sign the papers. With a quiet nod, she did. His friends clapped and congratulated the couple, each one signing as a witness on the papers. Now, legally, they were husband and wife. But to the outside world, she was nothing more than a maid in his house.
ECLIPSED BY SHADOW
──── ⊹₊♕₊⊹ ──── A girl with dreams too big for the world she's trapped in, her heart full of hopes for freedom. But fate has other plans. There's someone out there... her shadow, who sees her not just as a dreamer, but as a prize to claim. He makes her believe she's winning, but in the end, he always pulls her deep into his darkness. Puppet : ~~~~~~~ He destroyed me. Tore me apart until there was nothing left to save. I can't... I can't even breathe without feeling his shadow suffocating me. He stole everything-my dreams, my peace. And now, he's chasing me. Why? To crush what's left? To make me his toy? Or worse... his love? I don't know if he wants me as his puppet to torment or his love to possess, but either way, he's unraveling me. No matter how far I run, his presence clings to me, pulling me back into his darkness each time deeper than before. Puppet Master : ~~~~~~~~~~~~ She doesn't even realize how beautiful she is when she's broken. My fragile, trembling little Doll. She thinks she can run, but she belongs to me. Her innocence calls to me like a melody I can't stop listening to, so pure, so unaware of how deeply she's already mine. Oh, let her try to escape-it only makes the hunt sweeter. I love the way she trembles, the fear in her eyes when she realizes she can't outrun her devil. I'll let her break a hundred more times, let her feel the weight of her hopeless escape. And when she's nothing but shattered glass, I'll mold her into what she was always meant to be. Mine... utterly and completely mine.

Seductive Revenge
Nia Black was an innocent girl who believed in the concept of love and even lived it, or so she thought. She believed that love was a wonderful thing when she met Zaine Velazquez, a 22 year old rich billionaire who showed her the love she never thought she could experience, much less from someone that was way out of her league. But that all came crashing down when her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her in the worst way possible. A few years later, Nia isn't the person she used to be. She has learnt to be strong, both physically and emotionally. She has learnt that people should never be trusted, that they'll only fuck you over with time. She has undergone trials worse than death and came out stronger than ever. And...She has set out on a mission, to destroy the two people who ruined her life. By taking away the reason her best friend betrayed her, Zaine, while also planning to shatter his heart in the process, like he shattered hers. She wasn't going to show any mercy, that word was ruled out of her books long ago. Destruction was engraved in their fates and she would stop at nothing to achieve her revenge. And there was no stopping her. *** I subtly trailed my foot up his leg and felt him stiffen. I smirked internally when I saw his reddened face from across the table. I was enjoying this tremendously, more so when I saw the look on Dana's face as she tried her hardest to grab his attention, which was solely focused on me. I kept trailing my foot higher and higher, enjoying the look of anticipation on his face despite his desperation to keep himself composed. As my foot made contact with his dick, I realized he was already hard. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I removed my foot and continued eating as if nothing ever happened. I cast my eyes across the table just in time to catch the flicker of disappointment on his face before it disappeared. I smirked internally. Game on, asshole. *** Disclaimer: Mature themes.
