Nolan heard a growl from under his hospital bed, but after a moment the room fell silent once again, with the beep of the heart monitor blended in the background. Nolan wanted to ignore this growl, but his curiosity grew larger as the minutes ticked away. His eyes shifted to his wristwatch settled on the bedside table and sighed in frustration. 11:58 pm. 2 minutes until midnight. Suddenly he heard a loud thump from beside him, causing him to nearly jump off the bed. In a panicked and quick motion, he turned his head to the side and peered into the darkness. At first there appeared to be nothing. Just a chair in the dark corner. But upon further inspection, an odd shape sat on the chair, perhaps the shape of a person. Nolan stared at it with determined yet frightened eyes, and it stared back at him with big ominous eyes. Nolan shook his head and looked away, deciding it must only be a fragment of his imagination.
"This is going to be a long night," he says aloud to no one, even though he can't help but feel someone is listening.

The Dark Side of the Moon
My stomach dropped to my shoes as we reached the door. It was closed, and at further inspection, locked. It probably locked upon closing, but I had no key or means of opening it. My plan had been thrown out the window, and now I was just as confused as the girl beside me. “What’s the matter?” she whispered. I dreaded answering her. My mouth opened and I began to form the words, but not before I was interrupted. A growl reverberated through the very air that surrounded us, a noise so deep and threatening that it paralyzed me for a few seconds. The girl next to me let out a squeal and I swung my head in the direction that it had come from. It was the light-less corner to our left, so pitch black that not even the walls were visible. Whatever the company’s squad was hunting was here, and it was angry. ~ In small town Banff, no one expected life to change from peacefully content. But when night falls, evil lurks in the shadows. Supernatural creatures hunted by trained organizations seek revenge, power and violence; and Florence Gray has just stumbled into the middle of it.Complete
Window Panes
A cool breeze nipped at your exposed legs, causing goosebumps to erupt over your skin. You were curled into your comforter, comfy and safe, your cheek pressed against your pillow. Lips pursed and a small amount of drool seeping into the fabric. A creak came from the corner of your room, slightly rousing you from your slumber. You glanced around, your drooping eyelids barely taking in the scene. In your sleep riddled state, you didn't see him, his large figure stalking towards you. The whites of his eyes shining in the moonlight, it wasn't until you felt a palm slide up your side. Following the natural contours of your body, the emanating from it lulling you to sleep once again. A dip in the mattress, the springs creaking under the weight. Hot breath fanned over your neck, soft lips pressing onto the back of your ear. A deep hum filling your senses, you sighed. Cuddling back into the figure, wanting to get closer to the warm entity. A low chuckle sounded behind you, and then... Nothing.Complete
Crossing Into Forever
In the darkness of her dreams, she saw herself standing at a window looking down below, only to see a misting, swirling fog. She could not see the ground and did not know how far down it was. She had no idea where she was. Soon after, she was led down a dark hallway to a room with a large altar. She felt herself being lifted up and then placed back down on the hard stone surface. Now all she could see was a large man, holding a knife in his hands, with the sharp edge pointed directly over her heart...Then a different man with deep blue eyes was looking down at her, and his hand was caressing her face, telling her everything was going to be ok. A loud bang on the door made her startle and rise up. There, coming through the door, were several large angry men, dressed strangely in what looked like animal furs and carrying ominous looking weapons. Some had clubs with sharp objects attached to the ends and others had sharp axes and swords. She could hear her own screams escaping from her lips, and she opened her eyes to notice she was lying in her bed in the safety of her room in the convent where she lived. She was still trembling and had to tell herself it was just a dream. She was safe and no one would ever be able to hurt her.Complete
There Will Be Vengeance
Surya, no matter what happens, never fight on any day except Saturday. Those were his mother's last words before she vanished. For years, Surya obeyed, never questioning why. Every Saturday, he felt something different-his body burned with an almost supernatural rage, his senses heightened, his mind sharper. He used it to fight injustice, to become a ghost that haunted corrupt men. But the real horror began when he broke the rule. One Wednesday night, Surya lost control and struck a man in anger. And in that instant-the world shattered. The street flickered like a glitching video. People froze mid-motion, their faces warping. He felt something inside him... slip. And when he woke up the next morning-it was Saturday again. Only, something was wrong. The city looked off-buildings slightly misplaced, graffiti in languages he didn't recognize. His mother's face in photographs had changed. People he once saved no longer remembered him. Inspector R. Dayanand, the city's most feared cop, was staring at him like they had met before-like he was waiting for this. "You broke the cycle, didn't you?" Dayanand whispers. "Now, let's see how deep your madness runs." Surya's mind is fracturing. Every time he fights on the wrong day, the world resets, but slightly altered-like reality itself is being rewritten. The worst part? He is not the first Surya. There have been others. Versions of himself who made the same mistake. Who tried to uncover the truth. And they all ended the same way-dead, their bodies erased from history. Now, Surya must race against time, unraveling the hidden design of his existence before reality warps beyond repair. Because if he fights on the wrong day one more time... He may wake up as someone else. Or worse-never wake up at all.
My Horrible New Life
He transformed into a monster. He had scales on the sides of his body. His face was almost human but the monster part took over more. He had claws and a long dragons tail. I got scared. "Please don't eat me!" I backed up against the wall. He got closer to me. I was so scared. "Please!" I had tears running down my cheeks. He took my arms and pinned me up against the wall. His tongue was like a snakes tongue. He licked my neck. I was crying. He hissed in my ear before he talked. "I'll make a deal with you little human. I will let you live. IF. You belong only to me. I will come visit you every night and leave before the sun rises." I stared at him. Belong only to him? I wouldn't have a boyfriend. Would he make me do things I didn't want to do? Would he get mad one day and eat me? But I couldn't think about that right now. It was either this or die. I sighed so I could speak clearly. "Yes." One night, a creature snuck into Sammy's bedroom.

The Midnight Man (Troyler)
"Hello." He hissed out of the corner of the dark room, I dared to call mine. He sounded distant, but I still cowered to direct my attention towards him. I soon felt cold air on the back of my neck, forcing me to turn around. His eyes were red like flames, clothes disheveled and torn. Even though his soul appeared dark, the pink in his lips was still prominent. His pitch black hair stood perfectly on top of his face that screamed beauty and danger. But the slightest blood stains on his hands reminded me of what he really was. A pair of lips barely touched my neck, sending shivers down my spine, "I've been waiting," he whispered against my skin. He was my childhood monster. He was just a demon. He was The Midnight Man. And I think I loved him. //First book of the series// **please don't steal this. if you do ur a dick**Complete
Nursing The Bad Boy (Completed; Sequel Released)
He hissed as the alcohol touched his bleeding wound and he grabbed my hand. His touch ignited a flame and I knew that later I might have to treat myself for burns. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?" I asked, softly. I tried to calm my breathing as I did so, he was so close. The years that I spent staying away from his kind weren't paying off. "No," He retorted sarcastically, still holding onto my hand. "I hissed because I'm a snake. Of course that hurt, pumpkin." His comment awakened several buried memories, but I ignored them and continued to work on his wound. "Could you please let go of my hand now?" I muttered. He smirked and shook his head. "Do I scare you?" he asked, completely ignoring my question. Even though he did scare me, he scared me completely biscuit-less, I rose my head up and shook my light brown waves. "Absolutely, not." ************************ Gemma Reynolds is an an overworked nurse and probably one of the most innocent and pure people you will ever meet.

The Contract
Something didn't feel right. I looked around my room slowly; cautiously; taking everything in and trying not to feel too nervous. Perhaps Lure was in my room right now, watching me, silently laughing to himself. I didn't doubt it. I slipped off my bed and walked around, hugging my waist, and tilted my head. I felt my rough ponytail slide against the back of my neck and over my shoulder as I moved. "Lure?" I hissed, "Lure, are you there?" I wandered around a little, for some reason feeling scared. But why? It was only Lure. He wouldn't hurt me, would he? "Okay, Lure. Quit it. I know it's you. Who else would it-" I stopped, startled, when I heard a strange sound that made me cringe. It was like fingernails being dragged across a chalkboard. I whipped around and came face-to-face with my mirror. Immediately, I saw the difference. Various scratches were displayed across the glass, forming words. It looked as if claws had written the words in the mirror. "Deepest apologies, but it was fun." (All credit goes to my sister, who wrote this when she was in the twelfth grade)Complete

[[[the wonderful mess that we've made]]] [[[part iii]]]
'Lily.' A soft voice said from somewhere in the dark. My head was fuzzy and my body discontented from my brain. But the main thing was I felt no pain. I felt relief. I wasn't in the rubble anymore. I could hear beeps and distant voices. I knew I was safe in hospital. 'Lily, open your eyes.' I knew that voice. A happiness crept over me. 'Dan?' I tried to say but barely a sound left my dry mouth. 'Hey sleepy head.' It took far too much effort to do as I was told, but I eventually opened my eyes to see his beautiful face near mine. He was lying beside me in a hospital bed. The window behind him was dark. I wondered what time or what day it even was. I then noticed one of his hands was stroking my face and the other holding mine. 'You know how to scare me.' He laughed sourly. 'Sorry.' I whispered. 'De ja vu.' I told him. It was just like the time is woken up in hospital all those years ago with Dan beside me. I had so many questions but no brain capacity to ask just yet. I wanted to go back to sleep. And that's what I did.Complete
