The Phantom's Princess. by AllThingzFictional

**Contains Some Triggers - See Below** After enduring the tragic loss of her mother, Alexis's world crumbled. Love became a distant memory as she was subjected to mistreatment and sold to Blackthorn, a notorious criminal organization, by the man she once called her father. Crime and violence became a daily occurence and love, simply a tool of pleasure that men used over women. Swallowed by the shadows, Alexis locked her heart away, only allowing herself to feel a sense of belonging with the men of Backthorn, who had each played a role in her survival and growth. But everything changes when her suitor, Dillion, reveals his genuine feelings for her at the tender age of seventeen. Caught off guard, Alexis struggles to accept his love, feeling more comfortable with the allure of lust than the vulnerability of emotional connection. Doubts consume her as she questions whether Dillion can prove himself and remain faithful to her amidst the chaos that surrounds them. And to further complicate matters, Alexis becomes entangled in the mysterious allure of a new masked figure, a rival to the gangs that rule the area. **Although I do not go into any detail regarding the abuse that the main character has gone through, there are mentions of it as well as mentions of murder, some commited by the young girl.**

Innocence is just her disguise (Sadie Bane) by PyroLovingGirl

Inside of school she's a shy, weak, innocent nobody. Outside of school she's a queen. When she's not at school, say one wrong thing to her, she'll rip your head off. She's a gang leader of the gang Vipers. The Vipers are the deadliest gang in the city. Her father, the previous owner of the Vipers, passed it down to her. With her being in constant danger, he says she needs to control her temper and lie low so she doesn't get caught, again. What happens when the "bad boy" in her new school catches her fighting and sees who she really is? Remember, innocence is just her disguise. {Ok, so this is my first book I've ever wrote, and it's really not that great, my style has gotten much better since I published this, so my other more recent stories are more... realistic, in my opinion. But I'm just warning you. It's kind of cliché unfortunately. So if you decide to read this, you have been warned. If you don't want to read this, that's okay too, just carry on.} <Slowly Editing>

He invites Monte into his world for a moment, and even though he was meant to watch the dangerous man, he finds himself slowly rebelling. ---- Just as I say in every single one of my stories, this is a man x man story and it does have smut. For those who need to be prepared before a steamy scene or just skip past it, I will add disclaimers for you. As always, I hope you enjoy.

Scream: A Newtmas Murder Mystery by DarkPhoenix-223

[EDIT] THE STORY IS UNDERGOING SOME REVISIONS SO THAT IT WON'T BE CRINGEY. I wrote this three years ago, so cut me some slack people. [EDIT 2] THE STORY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REVISED. I edited a lot. Entire chapters are changed, the dilemma, the songs, the interactions, and even the deaths have all been made, in my mind, better. I really wanted to make this a thriller, but I also wanted mature elements in here, and I definitely didn't want you guys to read anything cringey. So, this is the final director's cut of my novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy and appreciate my revisions. Thanks so much. [EDIT 3] Okay I'm still not satisfied I need to keep updating the parts so sorry everyone lmao The inhabitants of Mazeboro, CA have never seen too much trouble, especially not a string of murders that begin to happen all over town. Newton and his friends are shocked and horrified as two of their friends are among the first to be murdered. And in the midst of this disorder, newcomer Thomas Greene brings a breath of fresh air to the students at Mazeboro High. He plays lacrosse, has a kind disposition, and is quite attractive. He catches Newt's attention, and the two form a strong friendship, despite the murders hitting closer and closer to home. Newt and Thomas, along with their friends, must band together and act as one. But, as less and less people remain, fingers are pointed and distrust ensues. Paranoia settles in. Newt must determine who is guilty and who is not, before every single person is dead. A classic Murder Mystery tale, with romance, drama, and plot twists.

The Test by Patpookie

Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard. No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face. Covered with a black ski mask, watching me. *** All 19-year-old Layna wanted to do was forget about the guy that broke her heart, and move on with her new boyfriend Brian. But instead, she unwittingly attracted the attention of a stalker. Someone who had been watching her every move for a month, plotting and planning for the perfect moment when he could take her. What Layna never would have expected was that when he finally kidnaps her, she would have to undergo "The Test". The Test that the girls before her had gone through. The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?

I felt her stiffening up, and as I felt she will reveal, instead she smirked as she whispered in my ear, "You don't want to do something Aiden, which you might regret later!"
