Sandy
...there was a loud crash from what appeared to be the kitchen area. Blair sprang off the couch and darted into the kitchen.
"Sandy...Ruby...you might wanna see this..." Her voice floated out to Sandy and me.
" Are you guys okay?" Rosiel yelled down from upstairs.
" I dunno. I think so?" I called up. Blair shouted for us again.
"Please. You'll really wanna see this." She sounded nervous.
"You don't sound sure." Rosiel observed from upstairs, responding to what I'd said before.
"Rosiel, just go downstairs. Then you can stop yelling." I heard Fisk grumble. Sandy and I got off the couch, meeting Fisk and Rosiel at the bottom of the stairs. The four of us hurried to the kitchen, where Blair stood, hands shaking, pointing out the open window at the crudely written message staining the white snow bright red.

"I-I should be heading to my room now." I told him not in anyway ready to face him. "Turn around." He instructed. "Your fiancee may w-wake up soon to use t-the bathroom or discover no ones t-there."

53 Chapters. (Completed) I pushed her back and she landed on the bed with a slight bounce. She swallowed hard and her right hand shot up to her stomach. My eyes watched her every movement as if she was my prey. I knew for a fact that she was now equally scared and nervous. I slowly made my way towards the bed and parted her legs with my knee, hovering above her. "I suggest you watch that mouth around me." I spat. Her breath hitched as our faces were now only a centimeter apart. Without giving it much thought, I leaned in and captured her lips in a bruising kiss.

Killing Is Thrilling
'The night was alive with silence. I moved through it like a shadow, black leather gloves tight on my hands, boots soft against the grass. My gas mask hid my face, leaving only darkness where my eyes should be. The world narrowed to a single point: the house ahead. Tonight, it would belong to me. The farmhouse rose stark and white beneath the moonlight, silent except for the occasional grunt of a pig or the low hum of a cow. They were unaware. They were insignificant. I crouched behind the hedge, eyes scanning, senses alert. Every detail mattered: the flicker of light across the curtains, the faint rustle of movement inside, the way a shadow shifted across the floor. She was there. Oblivious. Popcorn in hand, murmuring to herself as the television flickered. Every motion was a note in tonight's symphony, and I was the conductor. I studied her, cataloging. Timing. Patterns. Fear. She didn't notice me yet, and that was perfect. Patience was everything. One sound, one misstep, and it could all unravel. I rang the doorbell once. Silence. Again. Still nothing. She flinched slightly, just enough to make my pulse quicken. Her small reaction was delicious. A sudden movement in the yard caught my eye-a neighbor's dog barking at some unseen intruder. Its voice was loud, startling, but contained. I froze. My breath slowed. Patience. Observation. The dog's curiosity would pass. I remained still, hidden in shadow, letting the moment stretch. The animal lost interest and padded away. Perfect. I moved to the back of the house, hammer in hand.' ...Complete

I have always wanted to write a book that I want to read and I love crime stories with a touch of darkness. The characters that I created are not perfect. They all have flaws, just like all of us and I love to play with those flaws. I created them by heart and my love to them is equal. The word I created in this story sets in a distant future, where humans were survivors of a gargantuan apocalyptic disaster. It changes the way of living but in some aspects, but humanity stays the same. The cycle repeats itself and you can always find similarities. I own all the copyrights of these stories and I will take matter seriously to plagiarism. I hope that you enjoy my stories and can be entertained by them. Happy Reading !

BOOK #1 "What are you going to do? You can't kill me. I am the most skilled person in this mafia hands down. Hell.. I even beat you! 'The big, bad mafia Don'," I said putting my face infront of his to show that I'm not intimidated. He then looked at me as if I was his prey. I mean I know I'm hot, but I didn't think I was that hot. I brought his face closer to mine. I shivered as his lips very lightly grazed mine.Complete
