In 1888, Gideon Blake's body was discovered, mutilated almost beyond recognition, in the garden behind his Gothic Revival mansion in what looked like an act of black magic and blood sacrifice. 

Since then, Blake House has passed quickly through a series of owners. None of them ever succeeded in restoring Blake House to its former glory, for it was once a magnificent structure.  But all of them agree that Blake House is haunted.

All of them are right.

Now the historic structure lies on the brink of ruin.  Without the right tenant, Gideon Blake's last stronghold will be condemned, leaving his spirit without an anchor to the physical world.  For the first time in the more than one hundred years since his murder, Gideon needs someone who can move beyond the walls of Blake House.  Someone who can help restore it to its former glory.  Someone he can trust with the secret of his existence.  What's left of his life depends on it.  

Running from the ghosts of her past, Elizabeth Griffin retreats to her dimly remembered childhood home of Whitfield, hoping it's the one place where her past cannot find her.  Against all common sense and well meant advice, Elizabeth feels a strange kinship with the decaying structure.  As a historian, part of her simply wants to restore an endangered relic.  But a deeper part of her knows the wreck of a house is an apt metaphor for the state of her own soul: if she can save one, maybe there is hope for the other.

But Elizabeth and Gideon soon learn that there is more than one kind of ghost; that some hauntings emanate from flesh and blood; that 'living history' is more than a metaphor; that walls can imprison just as easily as they can shelter.  Meanwhile, they have one hell of a fight on their hands. Not everyone in Whitfield wants to see Blake House resurrected, and only some of their enemies are human.  But all of them are dangerous.All Rights Reserved

Little Wolf:The End by HeroesWilliamsFamily

"We were so far into this war. It started with the Death of an innocent boy: Cedric Diggory. Then my mother, Cordelia Black. I don't know who's next. I don't want it to be anyone. Not my Uncle, not Remus, not Harry. No one. I vowed two things to myself. Firstly, my mother wasn't very kind to me. But in her last moments, she showed that a part of her still cared. For that, I vowed that I will become a Healer. Not just for me, but for her as well. Secondly, I vowed that this year, I will clear my Uncle's name, he will be a free man. And with Umbridge away from Hogwarts, no one can stop me". Half Blood Prince: While grieving the lost of her mother and dealing with her feelings for Harry, Aurelia Adolpha studies to become a Healer. She's made a promise to herself that she'll study to get her dream job and clear her Uncle's name. Nothing else. But will Harry like Aurelia as more than a friend? Or will he always consider her a friend? Deathly Hallows Pt. 1: With the Golden Trio on a hunt for Horcruxes, Aurelia, Neville, Ginny and Luna are leading Dumbledore's Army and protecting their classmates while surviving Death Eaters. Deathly Hallows Pt. 2: The Final Battle has come. Who will make it out alive? (The only character I own is Aurelia and Eleanor.)

The experiment. by shrosz

They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment. But I had enough of the tugging, the clawing, the moaning, the crying and pleading for them to stop, but simply feeding them with our pain. They turned me into something, that neither do they know what I am. Their afraid of me, of my reflexes, my strength. I killed a lot of them. They say I have a cold heart, that I don't feel nothing. That's why they call me: Death -----------------------------------------************************************--------------------------------------------- Death. A teen girl, pitch black hair, black eyes, white skin. Her height is 5'8. People are scared of her, not just because of her strength but because of they way she kills. She lived in this hell hole, where they take her to rooms. Examine. Fight. She knows she won't be able to entertain them for long. She decides to run. Soul. Brown hair as mud, blue eyes as the sky. Hight 6'2. Tanned and toned body. Death's best friend in the hell hole they're in, he's as cold as she is. But shows a bit of sympathy. Well... More than her at least. He's been there for her, ever since she entered this place of crap. They're the two most feared. As some people say, they're a perfect couple. Killing. Fighting. Cold hearted creatures. Also known as D and S. Why? That's what your going to find out, joining this adventure with D and S.

The Whispering Shadows by fab_writes

When a group of four friends embarks on a weekend trip to an abandoned mansion deep in the countryside, they expect adventure, laughter, and perhaps a few scares for fun. The Hawthorne Estate, infamous for its tragic history and eerie rumors, seems like the perfect destination for Amanda, the group's thrill-seeker. But what begins as an innocent getaway quickly turns into a descent into terror. As they explore the mansion, the friends discover that the house is far more than just a crumbling relic. Locked doors, shadowy figures, and disembodied whispers hint at a sinister presence lurking within the walls. An old journal reveals a chilling tale of a vengeful spirit trapped in the house after a botched ritual centuries ago. One by one, the mansion begins to unravel their minds, exposing their fears, secrets, and weaknesses. Strange phenomena escalate, and the friends soon realize they are not just visitors-they are prisoners. The house seems alive, manipulating time and space, ensuring no escape. Tensions rise as the group fractures under the weight of paranoia and supernatural interference. When one of them disappears, the survivors must unravel the mansion's dark secrets before it claims them all. Their only chance at survival lies behind a locked door in the basement, where the origin of the curse-and the malevolent force-awaits. In a climactic confrontation, they face the horrifying truth: the Hawthorne Estate feeds on fear, despair, and betrayal. The spirit's wrath is unrelenting, and the friends must decide whether to fight or succumb to the darkness. With an ambiguous ending that blurs the line between escape and doom, The Whispering Shadows explores the fragility of trust, the weight of guilt, and the inescapable power of the past. I hope everyone will like this story ❤️✨

Obsidian by HeatherHolliday5

The world has ended and only the unlucky have survived. In the century since the Accident, Grayson Reid has spent his immortal life in servitude. Bound to Cardinal, an underground realm ruled by tyranny, he has blindly abided by Cardinal orders, unfazed by their cruelty or his own lost memories. Follow the rules and you live; disobey and you will suffer a fate far worse than death. That is until, one day, he wakes up to the memory of a woman on the run. Everywhere he goes, everywhere he turns there she is, in his mind's eye, beckoning to him. It is not long before Grayson too finds himself on the run, risking it all to finally take back what it is he lost all those years ago when the world was brought to its knees. After all, when you've hit rock bottom, how much more do you really have to lose? There is only one thing Mazikeen hates more than Cardinals - Vultures. Primitive, hideous, and cannibalistic, they are a plague upon Obsidian. She should know, she spent most of her life hunting them. Then, when her father died at the claws of a Vulture, she resigned and joined the peaceful Owls. Just when Mazikeen was getting comfortable and thought the fight was over, she discovers a way to destroy the Vultures once and for all. Mazikeen knows that she must pick up her blades one last time to bring peace to Obsidian, even if it means teaming up with an arrogant Cardinal soldier.

thanatophobia - the intense fear of death or the dying process. >< History is always repeating itself. One thing that will always be correct is that history will always repeat, like a loop, a vicious circle that never, ever ends. Unfortunate for the souls caught up in history's tangling branches, even more unfortunate for the ones that are yet to be roped in. Many people say to leave the past in the past, it is what it is, right? Not for Nova Black, not for her parents. The past is very much the present and the future. The past will continuously come back to remind them of what them and so many others have endured over the years. With dark wizards are large again and her cousin being the most hated boy in the wizarding world, Nova Black is on for a long fourth year at Hogwarts. Meeting Theodore Nott on the Hogwarts Express probably won't make it much easier. >< In which history, yet again, repeats itself and sweet Nova Black finds herself oddly infatuated with a Slytherin boy. >< ⚠️contains violence, death, strong language, sex, drug/alcohol misuse and other mature themes. >< harry potter series 4-7, 1994-1998 theodore nott x fem!oc BOOK 1 - PHILOPHOBIA BOOK 2 - ATYCHIPHOBIA BOOK 3 - THANATOPHOBIA ><

The Second Stage by benjaminburkett

A world unseen dies over and over. It shrieks at a pitch that you cannot hear. It rots with a stench that you will never quite know. It isn't a place meant for you and I, it is merely a bank for the dead and dying; a vault of visceral agony. It's function, origin and purpose are as cryptic and chilling as the vengeful spirits whose claws scratch and teeth rattle just beyond the thick, putrid mist that seeps over its endless surface. Yet, through all the horrifying and inexplicable unknowns, this place has one certainty: it doesn't take kindly to guests. Meredith Haynes fell into The Second Stage during a routine surgery she was monitoring. She scrambled through it's empty expanses and fled from the decaying demonic mockery of a human being. With good fortune and great agility for a woman her age, she escaped with both her life and sanity, a miracle should miracles exist. Anyone of sound mind would never return, and spend the rest of their days in the company of friends and nights in the company of bright lights. However, Meredith met someone she never expected to see again, someone that might remove her from the ranks of those well advised souls that would never return. Now, in the days of silence thereafter, her mind wanders back to the one thing that might convince her to return, the one thing that will convince her to return. But what Meredith doesn't yet understand, is that the Second Stage has no windows, no entrances and no exits, for it accepts you when it wishes and releases you when it's finished.
