I have always struggled with my curiosity. Often, I find that it holds me back, whilst pushing me forward simultaneously. Living in Camden Town was both a blessing and a curse. This is because, although I gained knowledge by the bucket-load, there was still an awful lot to be curious about. But it was when I found that girl that my curiosity levels reached an all time high. She was dead, laying splayed out with a green mask on her face. Her skin was cold and her blue hair fanned out dramatically. On her neck, she had a barbed wire tattoo. The fluorescent gas mask had a nearly identical barbed wire sticker on it, too. And just minutes before I had seen her running through the streets.
When the police ruled her death accidental, I had to bring about the truth. I had to find out how she died, because I knew in my right mind that it sure as hell was not an accident.
I knew she had been murdered. I just didn't know how.

Unintentional Passion
Geovanni Have you ever gotten that feeling that somebody was watching you? And that person who was watching you wasn't normal. I have felt that way all of my life; but then again I felt as if I went missing nobody would even notice or care I was gone. I am 23 and just graduated from college. I was there an extra year because I had to take care of my family. I had to transfer back into the city and pick up the extra work because my mom died, and my dad became addicted to anything that would numb his pain. My little sister and brother would be lost without me here. But now I could care less. A cold breeze blew through my window waking me up from my thoughts. I looked over in the corner and saw that nothing was there. It was odd because I felt like someone well more like something was there. It had to be my imagination getting the best of me. I laid back in my bed and closed my eyes. Then all of a sudden I got the feeling I wasn't alone. But the really strange thing is that even if there was someone in here with me I felt safe. Jordan. I watched her as she slept. In fact I have been watching her since she was born. I have waited half a century to find that one person. I think I have finally settled on her. She was my choice. I know. After being in as many relationships as I have you know things. I felt my fangs tingle. Her blood smelled so sweet. Her heartbeat was steady and strong. I took my tongue and ran it across my fang. The temptation to indulge in her red liquid was far too strong. I let out a low growl and jumped out her window. I was ready for a hunt. "Did you see her Jordan?" "Yes, and tomorrow night you will turn her," "Why do I have to turn her?" "Ezra, you know once you turn them, they hate you," "I didn't hate pops," "You wanted to join though," "True, but first see if she wants to be turn before you jump to conclusions," I nodded my head, before me and Ezra took off to find some fresh blood for the night.
Bunny
Yoonji heard a car approaching their way. Her body moved itself closer to the dark alley and the mysterious figure in order to protect herself along with her stuff from any dirty rain water that may be splashed onto her. The car passed by behind her, but the headlights provided her even vision for Yoonji to fully see the gruesome scene that was happening literally a few meters away from her spot. In a couple of brief seconds Yoonji's mind registered 4 major things; 1) The guy was wearing a bunny mask and the two vertical things that she saw earlier pointing away from his head were actually the mask's ears. 2) The horizontal shape that the bunny masked guy was messing with was actually a girl around her age wearing the same uniform as her. 3) The girl's mouth and eyes were wide open in an unnatural way. Her eyes also looked like they couldn't see anything. 4) The Bunny mask was holding a now drippy bloody knife in one hand and a human arm in the other.

13 Crowns
Prologue I used to have a nightmare when I was younger. It was always the same order and the same impact. It started with the warmth of sand consuming my feet. I looked up to see a warzone. There were flashes of fire, water, and lightning. It was like a war of the gods. Suddenly I felt the heat on my back. I turned to see neon red and yellow flames consume me. I ran to hide in the bushes that were next to me, feeling out of breath I tried to calm myself down. Strands of dark red hair covered my face. I proceeded to swipe my hair and look at my surroundings. I heard sobbing coming from near me. I trudged through the bushes and toward the sobbing when I got to under a willow tree. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked. I saw a girl with long dark red hair being the cause of the sobbing. She had a huge gash on her forehead with blood trailing down her face. She also had burns on her arms and shirt. The boy was in much worse condition. He was covered in burns, she was covering his face with only his hair showing. They both had the same colored hair. Suddenly my necklace started to glow with an amber color. The girl in front of me had a similar amber glow. Two amber crowns sat on top of the pillow. One female and one male crown sat on top of the pillow. Once I walked closer the glow came back. Once I grabbed the tiara everything became white. I was once again in another room, I attempted to move but I mysteriously couldn't. A neon purple bolt of lightning hit my chest. We both locked eyes with each other. Was that me? Before I could find out, the ground started to be drained into a whole. I was sucked into the drain and everything soon became black and I was free-falling. My back soon hit the ground of the room. I rose to look at the surroundings of the new room I was in. I fell to my knees from the pain. Then a person walked forward and grabbed my face.Complete
