Sarah has spent her life searching for answers about her past, haunted by the mysterious deaths of her parents. Raised in a world filled with secrets, she doesn’t know that she’s destined for far more than ordinary. When a family of vampires—led by the enigmatic Justin—moves into town, everything she thought she knew about herself begins to unravel. Drawn to Justin by a magnetic pull she can’t explain, Sarah finds herself caught in a web of magic, dark family secrets, and hidden truths about her own heritage. As their slow-burn romance intensifies, she discovers she is not just human—she is fae, her memories altered by a warlock intent on controlling her power. And the family who killed her parents? They believed her family was a threat to the fae courts. When Sarah begins to experience vivid memories of her past, she uncovers shocking truths about her parents’ deaths and the dark forces that have been shaping her life from the shadows. The more she learns, the more she’s forced to confront the true cost of her power—and the dangerous, inevitable path that awaits her. With the Courts closing in and an unrelenting destiny pushing her toward a fate she never chose, Sarah must decide whether to embrace the darkness within her or fight to preserve the humanity she has left. But with every choice, the stakes grow higher, and the line between love and betrayal, light and dark, begins to blur. Will Sarah succumb to the magic that calls to her, or will she defy the Courts and the powers that seek to control her?

When the night comes

"Let me fall in love with you." With his ocean blue eyes, he looks at me. "I can't ...We are enemies." "I-" I know that. I doubt anyone knows it better than us. But still I can't help it. I want to love you. I want you to love me. I want us to be together. I wish I could declare this to whole world. Slowly extending his hands towards me, he says"One day we will not be enemies, maybe then we can be lovers." What do I say to that? Do I tell him I will wait... Or question him when? I have so many questions to ask him. But again how do I break it to him. "..." "n.." His gaze stuck on me for a while finally disappears. Facing straight, he finally breaks the silence with a soft wispher"Not just lovers." "Yes." I question him not believing my ears. Maybe the whistle of air is hindering my hearing. He whimpers. Completely turning away his head, he adds"Not just lovers but spouses." "Are you proposing to me?" I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe reality. I am dreaming, aren't I? Maybe the night's cold is finally getting to me. "Yes,I will you accept?" He heard that. Noway did I speak aloud? Huh. The tips of his ear are little red. He is so cute. I can't help but smile to that. "You do realize you are asking me to wait to date right?" He turns and stares me down in eyes. He looks pitful. Maybe to an outsiders, it looks like I am bullying him. "I will give you the answer when we aren't enemies. He looked away. He had a frown on his face. "When the night comes, will we meet again." I asked him, gazing upon the stars in the sky. " When the night comes, I will also come with it." His replied made my heart tingle. "But I don't know about you." My face had a soft smile.

Embers Of The Night

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car. The news had come through a frantic message on her phone, a warning from an anonymous source that sent her spiraling into a state of panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own. Desperate for cash, she stumbles upon a peculiar job listing: a grave cleaner and companion for the dead at the local cemetery, promising a month’s rent for just one night of work. Excited by the prospect, Anna Mia arrives under the eerie glow of the moon, ready to face whatever the night may bring. But when she encounters a mysterious man lounging atop a tombstone—one who bears a striking resemblance to a deceased local legend—her heart races. Is he a ghost, a trick of the light, or something more sinister?

Tunnel Of The Night

When a sudden quarantine leaves them stranded on an isolated campus, seven brilliant, parentless students of the prestigious Hisar Institute must make an uneasy peace with their situation. Arlt, a Renaissance philology student and gifted linguist, narrates their tale—a story shrouded in secrets as ancient as the campus itself. United by their orphaned pasts and exceptional linguistic abilities, they linger in Suare Kairos, a grim four-story dormitory overshadowed by the silent gaze of the Aeternolis statue. Life in quarantine is quiet until they stumble upon a hidden tunnel beneath the library, a passage rumored to have sheltered professors fleeing the horrific Great Genocide Era. What begins as a curious exploration soon reveals a legacy of betrayal, forbidden knowledge, and concealed atrocities that refuse to remain buried. Inside the tunnel, the students find relics of a forgotten resistance—ancient texts, obscure manuscripts, and encrypted journals that point to a grim legacy the Institute sought to erase. As they decode the cryptic writings, the students are pulled into a web of secrets that threatens to unravel not only the history of their institution but also their very identities. Each discovery comes at a cost, forcing them to confront questions about loyalty, survival, and the fine line between knowledge and power. Bound by a shared past yet divided by dark ambitions, they must decide: how far will they go to preserve the truths they’ve unearthed? And, when knowledge becomes dangerous, is it worth dying—or even killing—for? A tale of mystery, academic rivalry, and haunting secrets, The Scholars of Aeternolis explores the weight of history on those who seek to uncover it and the cost of pursuing forbidden knowledge.
