    The ghosts in the closet aren't always lingering where they should be... Are they in your head? Under your bed? Outside your window? Or maybe, right beside you. However, not all ghosts come to call for purposes to scare but for a reason unbeknownst to you, this story derives such a tale. Based on a partially true story that happened in my youth, in which I'll let you decide which part may be true~

    Melody is a young girl who is trying to provide for her family by hunting rabbits in the woods. One night Melody dares to enter into the deepest parts of the woods; an area where her mother had warned her never to venture to. But with darkness quickly approaching and devouring the icy grey sky Melody knows her battle against time is drawing closer. As she chases the rabbit deeper into the ever-growing woods her limbs soon begin to ache and Melody eventually gives up on all hope of ever catching the source of food she desires and needs the most. Frightened at disappointing and shaming her family Melody decides to not return home and sleep in the woods for the night and return in the morning with whatever prey she can find. As the icy rain begins to fall, each droplet increasing in size compared to the last, Melody stumbles upon an embankment with eerie log cabin sat isolated and alone. The warmth and security that the log cabin provides begins to lure Melody into a subtle dangerous trap. Famished and cold, Melody does not see the harm in inhabiting the log cabin for the night. If only Melody knew what dangers lurk within the cabin… Then maybe she would have changed her mind on staying the night.

    {Book 1 in the Shadows series} Not exactly what you would call a fairytale. You end up fucking up and then thinking lowly of yourself. Somehow this 'fate' thing works things out and you learn not to make that mistake again. Unless you are stupid and forget the consequences of your actions. One thing. Just one thing you do can fuck up your life entirely, and this is why you never fuck with anyone in any way. Feelings. Physical. Or mental. Just never do it. It hurts a lot on both behalfs. •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• This story does contain some strong language and some violence. Please note if it is violent it will state it in the chapter name or somewhere etc. Side note this story will be written in a females POV not a males, unless stated otherwise. Please respect what is being published and give me some time to write it as I can be quite busy at times. I will however, try to update at least twice a week and if not then I am sorry. I will try to also include as much detail as posisble so that the story is more enjoyable and so that you can try to imagine the areas and characters. They will be made up and hopefully I can try draw what they look like sometime. If anyone wants to they can make a cover for me. May do a cover contest in the future. Would be pretty nice. For now~Peace ✌🏼
