I skidded to a halt a few meters from the cliff, my eyes focused on the giant dragon that descended from the skies and slowly made its way towards me. It reminded me of a giant crocodile- with wings. Its foul odor of burnt flesh and fire engulfed me as it stare into my eyes with its big round green eyes. I looked at it and saw numerous swords embedded in its tough scaly skin, the swords from the knights that perished under its presence.
"You want to roast me?" I yelled as I took a step back toward the cliff. If I was going to die, I was going to die my way. "You want to grill me like a steak or do you prefer me roasted like a marshmallow on a stick?" I snarled allowing my fear and anger to take hold of me. The voice inside my head had abandoned me but its qualities had not. The beast growled and snapped its jaws at me, whatever it tried to say, it probably wasn't something I wanted to hear.

#38 in Fantasy "Go." he commanded. "I can't bear the sight of you." The wind blew my hair out behind me. "I hate you so much. I never want to see you again. I hope that you die in this upcoming battle." I said darkly. I started to move my wings as I prepared to leave. "Good bye, Vlad. Forever. You have lost me. But worst is that I have lost you. The Vlad that stands before me is the one that I hate. The Vlad that I loved is long dead and I finally accept it now. Go and kneel before Satan. Go and embrace hatred. Go and be a demon, a traitor.

The Red Dragon and His Goddess
(STORY IS BEING UPDATED - 04/23/2025) "What is your name?" he asked, his voice a deep, commanding thunder that rolled across the great hall. I stood before the Red Dragon in all his ruthless glory. Towering. Fearsome. Every breath he took seemed to shake the walls-but I refused to tremble. I said nothing. The guards moved in, seizing me by the neck, forcing me to bow. "BOW, YOU FILTHY WOMAN! ANSWER!" one of them roared. Still, I remained defiant. And strangely... they let go. The crowd hushed. Celebration faded to silence. I could hear the click of his boots as he stepped down from his throne. Draya's whisper brushed my ear. "Answer him..." "You dare defy me?" he growled, his eyes flashing gold with something ancient and untamed. I straightened my spine, though my voice caught in my throat. Still, I forced the words out. "I will not give you my name. You don't deserve to know it." Gasps rippled through the room. A hand, rough and merciless, wrapped around my throat. The Red Dragon's. "Why don't you tremble in my presence?" he hissed. I laughed-a bold, reckless sound. "Because I don't bow to men like you. I never will. Go ahead, choke me if you must. That seems to be what you're best at." He laughed then. Low and dark. A sound that promised danger-and something far worse. "I have my ways of making you surrender," he said, his lips curling into a wicked smirk. And in that moment, I knew-I wasn't facing a man. I was staring into the eyes of something far more dangerous.
Night Demons
Darkness seemed to seep from his body as he turned to face me, his eyes burned with actual fire. The fire disappeared then, in a way, I saw both fear and rage in his eyes as he stalked toward me. He grabbed the front of my tattered shirt and lifted me from the ground before slamming me against the wall. His eyes met mine for a split second and there I saw lust and something else mixed with rage. "How are you doing this to me?" He hissed before slamming his lips down on mine. I froze between him and the wall, surprised at the unknown feeling rushing through my body. Then, without my permission, my body reacted to his. My legs wrapped around his waist and my hands wrapped themselves in his hair. He groaned deeply as he pressed himself against me and I pressed my lower self against him harder. He bit my lower lip, demanding entrance to my mouth and that's when I got control of myself. I unwrapped myself from him and bit his lip as hard as I could, bringing blood. I pushed him away and he dropped me. He laughed and wiped the blood from his mouth as I stood. "I knew you wanted me." I laughed. "Me making you bleed is a sign that I want you? Man, the worlds changed a lot in the last five minutes." He chuckled. "Sweetheart you have no idea." And at that he walked away from me a huge smirk spread across his face. "Oh and Sweetheart just be glad I didn't kill you, I could have stolen your soul right then and there."Lengkap
The experiment.
They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do.

Monster Love
"Let me die first or it's like I'll die twice." He tells me. I love him, my husband, more than I love myself. I love him more passionately than I thought I ever could with anyone. I would do anything for him! Whatever he asked of me I'd do it and whatever I asked him he'd do for me. We were a team and he wanted me to give him the one thing he has been begging me to do, give up on him. I have given up a lot to be his wife, but I've never regretted it. I have had beautiful children. I am a queen and I am with the love of my life. "You won't go first and neither will I." I hiss, "We'll go at the same time." He gives me a small smile and takes a step closer to me. I close my eyes for a moment and when I open them I make complete eye contact with him. He is a giant in ever scene of the word. "You truly are the light of my life." "And you will always be my dark angel." "You can't save, my love. It can't be changed. It is fate." "No one foresaw our union." "And?" "And so I defied fate once, who's to say I won't make it my bitch again." He picks me up and bring me to his level. "I love that fire in you."Lengkap

And his obsession become a biggest curse in her life. **** Her denial infuriated him more, his blood boiled in anger. Grabbing her chin up, he made her look at him. Her terrified orbs clashed with his deadly charcoal eyes. ''Please.'' She said clasping her hands around his which was holding her chin. She pleaded him with her teary eyes while his blazing gaze never shifted from her. "You think, your sorry can make everything better like before? Your sorry can't save you from me. Trust me, you can't even imagine what I can do to you. So you should keep your mouth shut and come with me home quietly." He warned and threatened her. And she shakes in fear and helplessness. She just wanted to run away from here and hide somewhere. She doesn't know the man who was standing in front of her right now. He was hurting her, scaring her and behaving like a monster. The man she knows he was different. Hell different from him, his hold was perfect for her fragile body, his voice which was heaven peace for her and his touch which was gentle unlike this. "No... no. I don't want to go anywhere with you... I don't want to be with you anymore." She move her head hysterically and tried to free herself but instead, she get more pain when he tightened his hold on her and dig his fingers on her waist. "You are scaring me," she confessed meekly crying and her breath get uneven. "Oh! Sweetheart, I didn't do anything yet and you are already scared of me? Then what will you do when I'll punish you for your betrayal?" The threat hidden in his words causes a shiver down her spine and she feels intimidated. "Just come with me or you will see the worst side of me. " He stated simply. The rage and fury in his eyes made her body start trembling ferociously. *** GENRE : DARK ROMANCE Cover by : @authorzysha ***

Death's Awakening
"Kill..." the low whispering voice trailed off into my head. I don't think the strange whispering voice came from anyone in the room. It was too loud; too abnormel; too deadly. Suddenly a cold shiver ran down my back making me scream and cry out for someone, something, anything. I want to be alone, somwhere dark, somewhere safe. My eyes open to see a woman cradling me in her arms. A man with red eyes, tan skin, and blonde hair starred at me. His eyes sunk into my head making me wince. The woman is natuarlly warm and comfortable, but her face is stained with tears mixed with blood on her, once beautiful, face. She smeared some of the blood onto my puffy cheeks with a warm beaten and calloused hand. "You're gonna be okay," she assured me. More tears fell from her eyes. I looked closer into her grayish, I think, eyes. They had evil tucked beneath fear in them. I don't know what she means, yet her words mean the world to me at this very moment: 4 minutes ago, I was born.Lengkap
