Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. 

Nine little soldier boys stayed up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. 

Eight little soldier boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven. 

Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six. 

Six little soldier boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little soldier boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. 

Four little soldier boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. 

Three little soldier boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. 

Two little soldier boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was One. 

One little soldier boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none. 

Unless of course, fate intervened and our soldier boys found a loophole?

Murder In Roxie Cove by HeartlessVibes
31 parts Complete Mature
When a well-known teen is found murdered four people find their lives turned upside down ... each of them holding on to a life-threatening secret of their own makes it hard to not point a blaming finger especially when the only person who knew of these secrets is the one who ended up dead. * * * It's summer in the small town of Roxie Cove, and the smell of freshly cut grass and sizzling barbeques fill the air. Every summer, the teens are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to spend their time at Saint DeLuca, a campsite on the outskirts of town. It is a place where they can be as reckless and as sneaky as they want without their parents finding out. That's all thanks to the camp counselors. This year's core five are Kian Sullivan, Avani Grant, Dawson Hunt, Nadine O'Connor, and Marcel Bailey, and they want to make it their mission that the campers have the summer of their lives. But, when Avani Grant is found floating in the lake with stab wounds so severe she's almost unrecognizable right before the campers are supposed to show, the cops shut down Saint DeLuca. With Kian, Dawson, Nadine, and Marcel the last four to see her alive, of course, they're the main suspects. With the town on edge and Avani's web of clues slowly untangling, it's a tale of whodunnit. But as the investigation pursues, it turns out Avani held onto secrets many would want to take to the grave. Now it's time to find out who took that meaning a little too serious?

❝ I lost you in the silence, bleeding through the walls; a sorrow came that ceased to leave & took you from my arms... ❞ - Draconian, 'Dishearten' || A fanfiction based on the movie The Lost Boys 1987 x OC 🥀 || ❝ I urge you to be mindful with the choices you make & the risks you take. Be mindful how much trust you pour into the world & the people that roam it. You may believe in the good in every soul you encounter, but the sad truth is that not everyone has something good to offer... Many a kind smile hides a vicious heart ~ ❞ Faint beams of cold silvery light gave birth to one of the most bizarre scenes I had ever witnessed in my life & without a doubt would ever come to witness, the blood freezing in my veins when I saw the intruder's face for what it truly was: a distorted masquerade revealing human features as well as monstrous ones alike, bleeding an expression trapped between blind amusement & rampant wrath; embedded in it a pair of orange-red eyes, glowing like dying embers in the pool of darkness, & where once a careless smile had graced his young face I could now see two large fangs instead of regular human teeth, ready to grab & tear flesh from bone. It was in that moment that I snapped out of my trance-like state & managed to force myself out of the paralysis that had grabbed hold of my body; my survival instinct took over at last & I jumped up in my bed to back away from the man who turned out to be exactly what I thought he was: A vampire.

THE DEAD DO NOT SPEAK. For years I coexisted with the living, but my life has forever known the waking shadows of death. As a clairvoyant, I wield a rare gift to communicate with spirits abandoned to wander in search of liberation from the lives they once belonged to. A gift I must use to find answers after being condemned for my mother's mysterious murder with the assistance of a lost soul, having latched herself to mine. When my estranged father demands me to enroll in the prestigious academy he once attended, Raven Oak Prep, we learn there are secrets hidden within its beautiful walls and paved with bad intentions. Secrets someone wants me to find. Seeking the truth proves difficult when the Student Council marks me as the enemy. Four beautifully, shattered boys hiding behind their masks to play out my brother's revenge in retribution for my mother's untimely demise. When their wicked games, and my morbid investigation becomes entwined, a shared connection is discovered that may just wake the ghosts of both our pasts. DEATH FOLLOWS US. After the falsified suicide of our girlfriend, we made a vow in the name of our brotherhood to uncover the truth. In the years since, we established no leads. Time turned us into monsters. We lost hope and said Fuck You to redemption. Until Beau's sister entered the doors of our academy with secrets that rivaled our own, unbeknownst she brought a depraved serial killer to our doorsteps set on murdering our students in a twisted game. His name? He calls himself Monster. Riddle after riddle the hunt against time to unmask Monster and understand his motives, grows, as he leaves a pile of bodies whispering old tales and written in ciphers. Who will be the next one? It seems history does repeat itself. We're all pretty monsters with secrets to kill for. No one and nowhere is safe. But what if the villain of this story was never the villain at all?
