「星に願いを」 (When You Wish Upon a Star) : Part Ω
I woke up in a world that shouldn't exist. And in a body that isn't mine. The city around me is in ruins-silent streets, broken buildings, a sky that no longer remembers the sun. I don't know how I got here. I don't know who I am. My memories slip through my fingers like sand, leaving behind only fragments-whispers of a promise I can't remember making. But something is wrong. The world feels... stuck, repeating itself like a broken record. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Time bends in ways I can't explain. And the deeper I search for answers, the clearer it becomes-this isn't just about me. There's something out there, buried in the loops of time. Watching. Waiting. If I break free, will I find the truth? Or will I disappear like everything else? When the stars grant a wish, what do they take in return?Complete
MURDERER
JEFF THE KILLER x FEM READER S N E A K P E A K : "I meant what I said, you have potential." I rested my head against his chest for support, taking in the sounds of the woods and his beating organ. My shaking body was frequently punctured by the winter night, slowly, but surely melting away every sign of life in my broken heart. "You need to learn that in order to live, you have to lose. Isaac is the past, us five are your future." All I heard was; "We took away your past, so you would have no use but to follow in our deadly path."Complete
Shadows of the Raven
Thea Blackthorn is more than just a young vampire navigating the treacherous world of blood and shadows-she is a seer, her visions laced with a haunting prophecy: "From shadowed depths and fractured skies, a spark shall burn where silence lies..." Bound by family ties and tangled in manipulations she cannot escape, Thea finds herself a pawn in a dangerous game of power, secrets, and betrayal. Her cousin Isaac's grip is unrelenting, his control as suffocating as the expectations of her ancient clan. Her allies-if they can be called that-are as enigmatic as they are unreliable, their loyalty fractured by their own agendas. And then there are the visions, pulling her toward truths too painful to face and choices too impossible to make. When the threads of the prophecy begin to weave through her own existence, Thea realizes that the chains binding her to her clan, her past, and even her own fears must be shattered-or embraced. The search for freedom drives Thea toward the truth of her unraveling destiny. But escape is never simple, and with every step, Thea risks awakening powers within herself that could shatter the fragile balance of her world and unearth secrets better left buried-threatening to unravel everything she's fought to protect. A story of resilience, identity, and the harrowing balance between light and darkness, "The Shadows of the Raven" is a dark urban fantasy where a spark of truth can ignite both salvation and destruction.
And Yet, Here You Are
Some things don't end with a goodbye. Some things just... stop. Like the way streetlights flicker at midnight. Like the way old receipts fade in your pocket. Like the way you tell yourself I'll remember this forever-but then one day, you don't. Soren was like autumn. Always carrying the last warmth of something fleeting. Always moving, always laughing, always pretending like nothing mattered. He had red-tipped ears from the cold, brown everywhere-his hair, his jacket, his shoes-but his eyes were green. Really green. The kind you don't forget, even when everything else blurs. We never had a plan. Not for the summer. Not for after. Not for anything, really. We just walked through empty streets, stole dumb things no one would miss, sat in places we weren't supposed to be, and pretended we had all the time in the world. And maybe we did. Until we didn't.

"How can Cupid... how could you be so cruel?" I curse lowly. Who could have imagined something like this happening to me? It had been so long since everything happened, but somehow the pain in my heart never left. The memories starts to flashback into my mind as I start to process what is happening in front of me, and why my past heartbreaks are all gathered at the same place. Nightmare, my childhood friend and first love. My first ever heartbreak. I tend to find him in everyone I have loved. He was cold and unpredictable but he was also warm and considerate at times... He was complicated but I loved all of him. Error, the one I chased over and one I was not willing to give up. He stood up from the rest and gave color to my world. All my poems were dedicated to him and him alone. Dust, possibly my other half. He felt like my soulmate. Everything about him made me feel like we were meant for each other. We shared the same interests about everything but I was wrong about one thing. We didn't share the same feelings. His heart belonged to my best friend. Killer, a flirty guy who people often rumored as the playboy. Most girls had fallen in love with his charm and personality. I was one of those unfortunate ones who fell right into his trap. But I... I saw something in him that other people couldn't see; there was something beneath those sweet grins. Horror. My comfort. My home. The one who filled the gap. The one who I think of every little nice thing. I love him so much to the point where I feel like the pain that would come with it would be worse than death. It had to be avoided. Cross. I was always drawn into him. He was my best-est friend. The one who I can count on everytime. The shoulder I can lean to when needed. The one who made me feel like I am the best thing that ever happened in his life. He was perfect while I am just... me. So why did I have to see them again? Why now? Love is not something I want to go through again... never again. <\3
