What is it about Kuda that makes her different? 

Dr Kuda Chilume's life in a small village called Jakalas II, in Botswana, has been ordinary, more or less. She thinks she's normal. Believes it actually, but strange things keep happening to her. The closer she gets to her thirtieth birthday, the more atypical her life becomes. As the secrets of her birth and life start emerging, the more she realises just how much her life is anything but ordinary.

When the good Dr Jake Dawn comes to Jakalas II, his first confrontation with Kuda sets a tone for their relationship going forward. Intense dislike at first sight is an understatement but what they don't know is that they have to work together to resolve the strangeness that has always been a part of Kuda's life. 

While Kuda wants to strangle him three quarters of the time, she is inexplicably drawn to him. What she doesn't know is that both their lives depend on the decisions that the both of them have to make.

The Withering von poojawrites

Only Sarah is privy to the truth that while others believe the devil has been vanquished, she alone bears the burden of knowing it has seamlessly slipped into a new vessel, ready to wreak havoc once more. Sarah carries a burden so heavy that not even her husband, Ayaan, knows about it. This secret weighs on her like an anchor, dragging her down into the depths of despair. It's a sorrowful tale she keeps locked away in the deepest corners of her soul, a narrative of pain and loss that Ayaan could never fathom. The shadows of her past loom large, casting a dark cloud over any hope for redemption. Amidst this darkness, sinister whispers echo in Sarah's mind, weaving a web of deceit and shame that threatens to suffocate her spirit. Will the shadows that cling to her spirit ever loosen their grip? Or will they continue to coil around her, suffocating the light within her until it flickers out entirely?

Potential for Darkness (Peter Pan)//(Robbie Kay) von x0xShadowangel

"You have two options. You can suffer through the fires of our passion with clenched teeth, writhing in agony, or you could become one with the flames, dancing in the night skies, burning through everything in your incendiary path, indestructible, immortal from our love, leaving in your wake ashes and smoke in the annihilation of your creation." ... I have lived for centuries, yet I've never felt this chaotic feeling run through my veins before. This burning across my skin like fire and the scorching in my lungs, making me unable to breathe when she is close, and yet also when she is far away. I've never felt this perverse pleasure when her eyes fell on my lips, when a pleased sigh escaped her mouth underneath my quivering touch. I've never felt this need to be with someone as I did with her, the burning ache inside me when she was gone, clamoring me to be by her side. And I've never felt this fear before, this twisting, gut wrenching feeling of disquiet that lurked day and night in the back of my mind, slowly eating away at my sanity, pouncing upon me whenever I had the misfortune to think about her. Is that what love is? Or is it just the feeling of one psychopath falling for another? Highest ranking : #1 in Neverland

Shadows Of The Past von NIBloomfield

With all its vindictive beauty like the black cobra entwined on the chest of sandalwood - the Golden mansion stood still under the wraps of death and devastation waiting for countless catastrophes to occur holding many concealed secrets in its heart.

It is here where Kayla Claire Winston understood the reason why her endless visions had chased her forever like her own shadow. It is this place where she understood the subtle connotation of life and death. Where the pure power of her binding love grew stronger and also felt the cold breeze of fatality wiping their bodies. And then, saw the blazing sun leading their way out of darkness, felt its radiant heat warming them once again - Azure. .....................

"But I Want You," | ONC 2025 von TessaYoung5

ONC 2025 Mudassir had it all-awards, friends, and a reputation that turned heads. But glory is fragile, and when life kicked him down, it didn't just bruise him. It shattered him. Now, he's trapped in the outskirts of Karachi, living with a violent father who drinks more than he breathes and a mind that's its own worst enemy. Once the life of the party, Mudassir is just another man drowning in rejection-job rejections, romantic failures, and his once-unshakable ego lie in ruins, a battered remnant of who he used to be. Until he sees her. Yusra Haroon. Selfishly stunning. Charmingly unapproachable. His therapist-to-be. An accomplishment he's looking to unravel. Suddenly, it isn't healing he's after. It's her undivided attention. Therapy sessions turn into a game, and to Mudassir, her kindness isn't just compassion. It's the reward of the price he's paid. It's proof that she wants him, even if she doesn't know it yet. But when she tries to set clear boundaries, he does what he's always known best. And that's not sounding good for the two of them. Because anything that's chased runs. But for him, love isn't about letting go. It's about never losing. ----------------------------------------- This story is written for the ONC 2025 for Prompt 125: Fear is the mind-killer.

It Knows Your Name (finished) von TyleenBarker

Some monsters hide under your bed. This one lives under your skin. For Maggie Caldwell, life was already teetering on the edge. A struggling single mother with two kids and a past she can't outrun, she thought her worst battles were behind her-until the night something inhuman latched onto her family. It starts small: a shadow that shouldn't move, whispers bleeding through the walls, her children waking up screaming with words they shouldn't know. But this is no ghost. It's something older, hungrier. And it doesn't just haunt-it burrows. As the creature digs deeper, feeding on her fears and regrets, Maggie must confront the secrets she's buried and the choices she never wanted to make. The closer she gets to the truth, the tighter its grip becomes. It wants her. It knows her. And if Maggie doesn't fight back, it'll consume everything-her sanity, her family, and the last scraps of her soul. But how do you kill a monster that already knows all your darkest thoughts? Gripping, visceral, and unrelenting, "It Knows Your Name" will drag you to the edge of fear and leave you questioning the shadows in your own mind.

Once Upon A Blue Moon von AiderKwin

Formerly Known As 'The Ghost In My Attic' {Contains Mature Content} The cold Brooke Hills breeze takes over the night. Blowing mercilessly as it cools off some of the pain on my face... I watch the trees dance in the wind and the moon plays hide and seek with people like me who are still looking at it. Hiding behind the tree branches and leaves. I always feel serene and at peace when looking at the moon but tonight..... Looking at it just purely outlines the difference between who I used to be and what I currently am. Like soothing kisses, the rain droplets rest on my skin. Not long; the rain begins to pour. The pregnant clouds decided the time to deliver their bottled-up tears was when my heart had no strength left to cry anymore... I feel the rain flow over my body and I wish it could flow through me... Flow-through me and wash off the dirt and memories of this horrid night. My legs hardly leave the floor as I walk ghostly towards home. What used to be my safe heaven..... ¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢° After years of being insulted and hurt by the whole town, the final line is crossed when the mayor's son takes away the one thing she valued most. (Her virginity). Soon after she meets a ghost, the mayor's son is found dead and a lot of dirty secrets begin to surface. Is Laina the culprit or is she just a victim of circumstance?.
