As the final sliver of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, the air around her grew cold, and a sinister stillness settled in. She could feel it—a creeping chill spreading across her skin, crawling through her veins like ice. The darkness was not just around her; it was inside her, clawing its way through her body, infecting her with its malevolent intent.

Samantha had always been a beacon of...

“So we have a plan or is this going to take all night?” Jayden asks, going through his camera roll. “Fine, we’ll go tonight, at dark.” Alessia yells, upset.

It was started as a normal day, just like any other casual Tuesday. Vanessa performed your usual morning ritual of waking up late and rushing to her first class at the local junior college. Sitting down quickly and thinking she was unseen, she was startled to hear her professor shout from the bottom of the lecture hall.

“Miss Vanessa! Tell me something. How can one do so well in their course yet ...

It felt different than her parents described—the darkness. Isis stood in a dark cavern, waiting for the inevitable. She knew what would happen if she entered the Malevolent One's home, but she had to save them. Save them, she thought. What a joke. A burning sensation ripped through Isis' gut. She doubled over in pain. The sensation rippled through her body, reaching all the way up to her throat, c...
