Margot

In a sprawling metropolis where the lines between reality and illusion blur, Lara Harper begins to notice the cracks in her world. After a string of inexplicable events—time loops, unsettling strangers, and a photograph of herself in a place she’s never been—Lara is thrust into a psychological nightmare. Her once-familiar city seems alive, shifting and pulsating as though it has a will of its own. The photograph, which shouldn’t exist, becomes the key to unraveling the mystery. Within its frame lurks a shadowy figure, growing clearer with each passing moment. Every clue Lara uncovers only deepens her paranoia: an enigmatic neighbor with cryptic warnings, a seemingly kind friend with secrets of his own, and an eerie text message from someone who knows far too much. As Lara delves deeper, she discovers she isn’t the only one trapped in the city’s grasp. Victor, her steady but haunted upstairs neighbor, and Margot, the alluring and enigmatic woman from down the hall, are drawn into the unfolding madness. Together, they uncover fragments of a terrible truth: their reality is a fractured mirror, reflecting something far darker on the other side. But the city isn’t just breaking—it’s hungry. As time and space collapse around her, Lara must confront the figure in the photograph, the twisted nature of her memories, and the possibility that she is both the hunter and the hunted in this surreal nightmare. In Reflections of the Damned, sanity is fragile, trust is fleeting, and every choice inches Lara closer to the truth—or her destruction. Will she shatter the mirror, or will it shatter her?

Peter is a young man who has the soul of a being from another world. He possesses memories from before his transmigration. The world where he arrived is that of a story that he knows. Here Peter has the Villain's body. The protagonist of the story that Peter meets is also a transmigrator, the Hero. The hero has a fair, naive personality and at the same time is an expert in scientific knowledge. This personality trait of his implies a disadvantage whenever he becomes involved in a narcissistic feeling in relation to knowledge. Knowing this fact, Peter must prepare to ensure that the Hero manages to defeat the evil that threatens the world. In addition, he must control the new threat that the hero brings with him. This new threat that he will be aware of later is still unknown. Peter has to force himself into the plot of being the villain of the story in the eyes of the world. This is a journey that he cannot achieve alone, so it is here that he allies himself with Margot who together with him prepares to face the problems of the world while aiming for his personal benefit. Both Peter and Margot are not altruistic people, nor are they entirely cruel, they are just people determined to achieve what they want no matter how much it costs them to do so.

Solving mysteries and fighting monsters. Protecting people, magic and mundie alike. That's the job of the Horner PIs, a group that fights and helps the hidden paranormal - and are a little paranormal themselves. *** Danny Rye has been able to see and talk to ghosts for as long as he can remember, but for most of his life, it was more of a curse than a blessing. Margot Queensbury has strange psychic powers, and while they do come in handy, she prefers to rely on her karate skills. Jake Tassel-Chastain is a genius at combining modern technology with magic and the paranormal - he's also bound to a mysterious dark power that he really doesn't like talking about. In the sleepy town of Wolfden, Montanta, the Horners pick up a fourth member: Camila Castillo, a bonafide and powerful witch. Together, they travel the country in Margot's old van, helping whoever (and whatever) they can, solving mysteries, keeping secrets, and finding a family amongst each other. But of course, things are brewing in the paranormal world, plots and schemes from powerful people, and our ragtag twenty-somethings will undoubtedly get wrapped up in it all. Follow the Horner PIs as they go up against mages and demons, werewolves and vampires, fairies, ghosts, and plain old humans, all while doing their best to stick together and unravel their own pasts. *** This is the first "book" (novella, really) of my Horner Paranormal series, which was inspired by media like Supernatural, Paranorman, Coraline, Practical Magic, X-Files, and Ghostbusters.

The sub-villain, Lakis Avalon, was the king of the underworld and the very same frightening man that I had met at the institute before. “…” I took a moment’s glance around then I kicked the man’s body away. You’ve got the wrong house, Villain!

Seven years after rescuing Jame Gumb's last victim, Clarice Starling witnesses her career crumble around her. A drug raid goes wrong and Starling kills an armed meth dealer in self-defense: the dealer was carrying her own baby while shooting at Starling. Hannibal Lecter, who has been living in Florence, Italy, under an assumed name since escaping custody, sends her a letter of condolence and requests more information about her personal life. Desperate to catch Lecter, the FBI finds a use for Starling once again. She meets with Barney Matthews, former orderly of Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. He tells her what Lecter said about her and that he said he would never go after her if he escaped. Meanwhile, Mason Verger, a wealthy, sadistic pedophile who was left horribly disfigured after a "therapy session" with Lecter, plans to get revenge by feeding Lecter to wild boars, using Starling as bait. He is aided by corrupt Justice Department agent Paul Krendler, Starling's nemesis. A disgraced Florentine detective, Rinaldo Pazzi, also pursues Lecter in the interests of collecting Verger's bounty on him. However, Lecter kills one of Pazzi's men and hangs Pazzi where his ancestor, Francesco de Pazzi, was hanged in 1478. Lecter waves at a camera, the footage of which is later seen by Verger. Lecter kills one of Verger's men and escapes to the United States, where he begins pursuing Starling. The novel briefly touches upon Lecter's childhood, specifically the death of his beloved younger sister, Mischa. The two were orphaned during World War II, and a group of German deserters found them on their family estate and took them prisoner. The Germans, after checking the limbs of both siblings, had taken Mischa away. Lecter later found some of Mischa's milk teeth in a stool pit used by the deserters, indicating to young Hannibal that they had killed and eaten his sister. Barney briefly works for Verger, and gets acquainted with Verger's sister and bodyguard Margot, a lesbian bodybuilder whom Verger molested and raped as a child. Their friendship is briefly strained when he makes a pass at her, but they eventually reconcile, and Margot tells him that she stays in her hated brother's employment because she needs Mason's sperm to have a child with her partner, Judy. Lecter is captured by Verger's men, and Starling pursues them, determined to bring Lecter in herself. One of Verger's men shoots her full of tranquilizer as she releases Lecter. The wild boars break through the barricade separating them from Lecter, but they lose interest in their intended prey when they smell no fear on him, instead going after Verger's men. In the confusion, Lecter carries the unconscious Starling to safety, and escapes with her. At the same time, Margot forcibly obtains Mason's sperm by sodomizing him with a cattle prod, and then kills him by shoving his pet Moray eel down his throat. Lecter, who had briefly treated Margot after her brother abused her, has urged her to blame the murder on him, which she does by leaving one of his hairs at the scene. Using a regimen of psychotropic drugs and behavioral therapy, Lecter attempts to brainwash Starling, hoping to make her believe she is Mischa, returned to life. She ultimately proves too strong, however, and tells him that Mischa will have to live on within him. Lecter captures Krendler and lobotomizes him, and then he and Starling dine on Krendler's prefrontal cortex, sauteed with shallots, before Lecter kills him. The two then become lovers, and disappear together. Three years later, Barney and his girlfriend go to Buenos Aires to see a Vermeer painting. At the opera, Barney spots Lecter and Starling; fearing for his life, he flees with his girlfriend.

Working as a lawyer and being one of the best gun traffickers out there, Kenneth not knowing how to control the situation, would he be thrown to jail? Would he get caught? -------- "Could James know about Nathan?" A question that has been rattling around Kenneth's head. Not sure what to do Kenneth called Nero to meet him at his first warehouse where he keeps most of their gun supply. But of course Kenneth can't risk James following him so whenever they have to meet up at one of Kenneth's warehouses they meet at his second one, which has a lot of boxes, but nothing in them. "Meet at the first warehouse down at Farmstead Street." Kenneth texted, grabbed his coat and made his way to the parking lot. He arrived at the warehouse and hoped that no one followed him. But then again at the back of his mind he knew James would've followed him. The warehouse had the same lighting as the other one last night. "Has James checked the firearms?" Kenneth said calmly, as he placed his bag on top of one of the boxes. "He did and there were no missing firearms." Kenneth just thought for a bit like he was expecting something, then- CRASH! The front entrance smashed down by the SWAT team. "Kenneth Presley, you're under arrest for possession of illegal firearms." James said from outside the warehouse with a megaphone, as Kenneth expected James would follow him. "Do you have any proof of me having this alleged illegal firearm?" Kenneth asked the police officers politely. "So be it! Search the place! I bet you'll find loads of firearms!" James shouted on the megaphone from outside. -------- "Right. Going back to the matter at hand, where did you find the idiot George?" Kenneth said keeping himself together, shrugging off what just happened. "Just down the block." George responded quite firmly. "We can't just go and confront the guy, because it's obvious that he moves quickly. And if we're sure that it's Nathan-" Kenneth then showed some printed pictures of places where Nathan could be found. "Then what am I supposed to do?!" Margot said quite sarcastically. "You, get to torture and get information on James." Keneth said facing Margot. "When?! I have to go grab my knives an-" "When we have enough information on him." Kenneth said, cutting off Margot. "Boo, no fun." Margot said apathetically. "We know that Nathan is really smart. So he could just be paying the home owners to stay at theirs for just a day or two." Kenneth said, trying to somehow grab information on how they would get to Nathan. "We could actually try to hire someone to disguise as one of James' followers? If I may say?" George added. "Followers my ass." Kenneth said laughing to himself. "We could try and look for the places he delivered some firearms?" Margot suggested. Then something popped up in Kenneth's head. "You found James down the street right?" Kenneth asked, pointing at George. "Uh, yeah?" George said, confused. "2 years before the raid, he did deliver firearms on this street," "Can I just kill the idiot now?" Margot whined, cutting off Kenneth. "He delivered it to a guy named Joshua Mercia." Then he threw a photo of the guy to George. "Do you know where he could be?" George asked.

It is the year 2070. Things have changed dramatically and rapidly over the past fifty years. The cause of overpopulation has led to other problems such as poverty, inflation, strikes, market crashes, epidemics, and even deaths.

Last summer of 2065, eleven year old Margot Wales received a letter from the Sapphires about a governmental plan that involved training potential teenagers to face the world's challenges through simulations and experiments. She doesn't know what the problem is, why it's happening, and how it is to be solved. Five years later, she finds herself as a "Variable" being used by the government. Margot starts to notice a hoax in the government's plan. Will she be able to find a way out – if there really is? [a "The Maze Runner" and "Divergent" crossover]
