*He walks inside the room, still feeling the presence of Lux behind him; she's unusually quiet. In fact, Aleksei  might hear her thinking. He turns slightly to his right to see Lux with an unfamiliar expression as she slowly steps in front of the anti-black-and-brown-blood posters. Strange. 

Aleksei clears his throat to gain her attention; once again but louder, and- "Hmm? Oh, sorry, Alek. When did these posters get here?" He isn't sure what to think of Lux's sudden interest in the posters- almost every classroom in the school has at least one. 

He takes a breath, opens his mouth- "For some reason, I expected you to...", she trails off, and her eyes are on him. He feels transparent as her eyes scan over him. They gravitate back towards the posters, "I guess that answers my question." It sounds foreign to Aleksei's ears; she is talking with her same candy-coated voice, but to herself. 
He feels like he's watching a private argument between two entities, then her eyes land in him again.*

《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018

I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued. It's now or never. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Sophia Grace is a 25 year old Forensic Science major who recently started working as a cashier at her local grocery store - "The Corner Store".

Cian hummed. Amused. "Lying and being nervous near me isn't what I want, Elfin."
 I refused to react, but he was waiting. And in truth, I didn't know how much more of this suffocation I could take. His calloused fingers pressed against my lips more firmly. My hands shook as I slightly parted them. And the moment I did, he pushed them inside.
 Trepidation thudded around my empty stomach as his fingers sat heavy against my tongue. A slow, measured invasion of space-of control-as his thumb stroked idly across my lower lip. Burning stalactites of emotion stabbed in my throat. I forgot how to breathe; how to look at anything else but those impulsive brown eyes. 
 His fingers pressed down slightly on my tongue, not enough to hurt-just enough to remind me that he could. Each second that passed with the hysterical beeping from the monitors made my chest heave; a crushing force that made my lungs liquify. As well as my confidence. 
 When he finally pulled back, dragging the wetness of my saliva across my chin, my mouth felt too empty.
 The taste of his skin blossomed on my tongue when I finally swallowed.
 "Good girl," he whispered, wiping his fingers on the blanket before standing. "See? You can listen." With that, he left the room, the door sliding shut with a billow of fresh air from the hallways. 
 I hated him.
 I despised him.
 Yet I couldn't shake the way my lips tingled where his fingers had been.

In the face of adversity, the girl embraced her true beauty, including the captivating shade of her piercing navy blue eyes. She refused to let the taunts and bullying diminish her self-worth. Instead, she took solace in the shimmering depths of her gaze, a reminder of her uniqueness and strength. With each defiant stare, she silently challenged her tormentors, letting them know that their cruelty could not pierce the shield of her unyielding spirit. And as she faced the world with her head held high, her eyes sparkled like ocean, a reflection of the radiant beauty that resided within her. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ So-jung's heart pounded as she answered the distant, chilling voice. "Hello? Is someone there?" The Mysterious soft voice cames out like a whisper"Shhh, don't be scared, So-jung. I've been watching you for quite some time now." She struggles but asked, "Who... who are you? Why have you been watching me?" A chuckle escaped. "Ah, names are just nothing, my dear. But what matters is that I know everything about you, So-jung. Your deepest fears, your darkest secrets... everything." So-jung's fear intensified. "This isn't funny. Are you some sort of stalker?" The Mysterious Figure's mocking tone penetrated the room. "Stalker? No, my dear. I'm much more than that. I'm the shadow in your nightmares, the whisper in your ear when you're alone." "H-how do you know these things? This can't be possible!" The figure chuckled once again . "Oh, So-jung, you underestimate the power of observation. I've seen you when you thought no one was watching. Your are so awesome!." She sighs "Please, leave me alone! I don't want this. I don't want you in my life." The Mysterious voice turned cold."Oh, but So-jung, you always wanted to be noticed, didn't you? Well, now you have my attention. Aren't you grateful?.....My dear" STARTED: 01/23/24 WRITTEN ENDED: 02/10/2024 ENDED: 03/30/2024 2024@ncdcherry

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

His back hit the wall behind him and she came falling onto his chest. Both of them were stunned as the tenseness air grew stronger. Although she couldn't quite his face clearly, she knew for sure that he was staring right back at her. Suddenly, she felt something. Her hands that were against his chest-thumping movement. She blinked her eyes and leaned her ear forward to his chest. He realized what she was doing and pushed her away from him. "Is that your heart beating?" He cleared his throat and flashed her a glare. "Of course. Do I look dead to you?" She opened her mouth to say something but he interrupted her quickly. "You're making me late for my class. Stop bothering me." He turned around and walked off awkwardly. ---------------------- This fanfic is dedicated to my best friend -FF #1
