-The second extract from the casefiles of D.I. Hawes and D.S. Gray-

When D.S. Edmund Gray first arrived on the doorstep of Coates Hill Preparatory School for Boys, I.D. in one hand and takeaway cup of steaming coffee in the other, his initial reaction was how glad he was not to have gone there.
His companion, a certain D.I. Cynthia Hawes, however, was more concerned about how easy it looked to climb out if the large, ornate Gothic style windows on the upper floors and make your way safely (ish) down to the ground below.
And to D.I. Hawes's intent amusement, not that she would ever admit it to another living soul, it seemed one of the  young boys had done just that.

I Walk the Line ♤ (gxg) by complexcrimson

She remembered her scent. It seemed to verify her aura. Her scent was cherry Coke and cigarettes. The latter one was passed onto her, especially after she had handed her her first cigarette only three months ago. Three months was all it took for her to develop that bad habit, but it wasn't the first nor the only one she developed in that period of time. Now she laid on the roof where she had smoked her first cigarette three months ago, and she glanced over at the full can of cherry Coke sitting on the concrete next to her, almost as if it were mocking her. A dull ache formed in her heart, a hollow, resounding ache that penetrated her deepest core. The sudden burning sensation in her fingers made her realize that the cigarette was burned to its very end, and maybe so was she. -♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤- August is attending Cornell University as a creative writing major, and while at a college party her friends dragged her to much to her dismay, she stumbles upon a gang in an alleyway and sees something she shouldn't have.

𝐃𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 by larry-writer_28

Book | The city of Los Angeles was no stranger to violence and crime. "They were all drowning in corruption and black money..." "Interesting case!" But the way they were killed was brutal, and the killer always left a red rose covered in blood on the victim's body. "A rose? Seriously? Sounds like a 'Dark Romance' to me!" Detective Alpha Harry Styles of the LAPD had seen his fair share of gruesome crime scenes, but this case was different. He was determined to catch the killer and bring them to justice, no matter what it took. As he delved deeper into the investigation, he began to realize that the killer was more than just a cold-blooded murderer. They were someone who had a vendetta against those who had done wrong, and they were willing to do whatever it took to get their revenge. As Harry got closer to solving the case, he found himself drawn into a web of deceit and danger. "I will never forget this, Amore Mio! I'll make you pay for it! And we both are well aware how serious i get when it comes to...vendetta." "I'm sorry sunshine, but it has to be done..." Little did he know that the danger was far from over. Harry would have to use all of his skills as a detective to stay alive, and to bring the killer to justice once and for all. For the love of a rose, the gardener becomes the slave of a thousand thorns...

Beautifully Obsessed by Aphrodite4263

He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.
