Sometimes the monster lurks closer than you think... 

The people of Capernia live in an era of progress, and, as such, during a time where much of the past is left to rot, including its horrors. Although, the world may have to face past horrors sooner than it realizes, as demons begin slaughtering the nobles in public, threatening the tiers of society set by man to keep the chaos at bay for so many years. 

In Part One of "The Demon-Eater", there are two whom we watch . . . 

The Hunter: plagued by a past he cannot remember; tormented in his search for the "faceless woman's" murderer. And the Daughter, set on a course to save her father by any means necessary. A course that will break the world, or save it.

"The Demon-Eater: Hunting Shadows" is the first of four novellas making up the complete first book. I'm self-publishing the novellas as parts, in an attempt to get feedback on each part, so that I can improve on each (and the novel as a whole). I would really appreciate your honest thoughts and suggestions for the way the story is going. Parts One and Two are already published, so I will be posting the chapters to those every few days or so on here, in hopes that I get enough feedback by the end of this "novella sequence" to put all the parts together as a better overall work.

Thanks in advance.

Dual Eclipse 4th installment in the Mikhailov Bratva series. Start Date: February 18th 2024. End Date: October 28th 2024. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Victoria I had nothing to do with these people-those with lifeless eyes, those that held their heads high with a gun strapped to their waists and vials of cocaine deep in dirty pockets, waiting on their next prey. They had no lives and ruined everything, like tearing my sister and me apart, taking my parents' lives and finally stealing the light from my own eyes. Ruined-dead is what I am. I have no purpose; no one can fix that except the devil, who forces me to trust him. He is no different but worse than these men, and I've made a dreadful mistake because I hate them all. I used him, and now he is taking me to the pit of hell with him, and I won't stop him. Alexandr Darkness was engraved into my bones when they formed in my mother's womb. There's no such thing as light in my life because I was born a killer. I know nothing out of this world and pay for it when the dead visit. I shouldn't have felt anger so strong when I saw the reflection of a woman I thought of ruining. Then, feeling her skin on mine had burned me hotter than any sin I had committed. I couldn't stay away, and in the end, I helped, held and killed for her. Victoria thinks she can stay away from me-she's wrong. I'll always be in the shadows, showing her how much of my darkness she possesses.

Book two in that back to you series. Read book one, "Back to believing", if you don't none of this is going to make sense. After everything that happened with the demon Alexis was more confused than ever about what was going on with her. The doctors told her that she healed very quickly after the car accident. Unexpectedly quickly. Now she was trying to figure out what the demon meant and help the Winchester's with the death of their father. All while helping hunt down this demon, meeting new hunters, and realizing that Dean means a lot more to her than she previously had thought. She also can't shake the feeling she's being watched all the time. She starts to uncover the dark secrets of her family. Of her mother's. She tries to figure out what the demon wants from her, and how she can help kill it. And now, her nightmares have went from keeping her up for a few hours to scared to even close her eyes. The nightmares are getting more and more vivid as she watches them unfold every night. She can't stand the feeling of helplessness she has to live with now. The jumping at every shadow behind her, the fear of the dark and what lurks inside it, the dread that never leaves, the horror that awaits her every time she drifts off to sleep. Alexis wants it all to stop. But maybe with the Winchester's here to help her, like she's there to help them, it won't be that bad. Or will the shadows overtake Alexis? Will she drown in the darkness? Will that one light that she has burn out? Or will she make it through these dark times? And how is she sure better times wait ahead? Are there? DISCLAIMER: I do not own supernatural, all rights go to Eric Kripke. I only own Alexis and her plotlines, also a few other characters that aren't in the show.
