The city is a graveyard of neon lights and endless nights. Nero knows it. He feels it in his bones. Nothing was supposed to happen on the night of the lunar eclipse. Just another underground gig in an abandoned church, another cigarette burning between his fingers, another cheap vodka shot burning down his throat. But then he saw her. Something that shouldn't have been there. Something that was watching him before he even knew it existed. Something that stayed with him even after the music stopped. Since that night, the shadows started calling his name. Since that night, Sebastián was closer than ever. Since that night, she started showing up in his dreams. Nero's reality is starting to crack apart. His reflection doesn't always match his movements. His body doesn't always feel like his own. The city lights flicker like someone's turning the world off, piece by piece. And in the background, a voice whispers: "Don't close your eyes. Don't stop looking." Because the moment you do... You won't be you anymore.

A Horror Apocalyptic setting where 9 young adults with strange abilities have been kept protected in an underground dome for 20 years. Things have been seeming to go fine but an eerie force has been tunneling through the facility, perhaps warning them, or perhaps luring them to their fate. Accepting the truth about their awful pasts and learning about themselves along the way. A tale of vicious creatures and thrilling adventures, as well as passion, death, and romance. Every step you take could be dangerous. Tread carefully. Everything is intentional Inspired partially by Dante's Inferno and Greek Mythology Dante's Inferno is a story about a man, named Dante, who goes on a journey through the nine circles of hell learning about each of them and finding famous icons within discovering that each circle represents a sin, going down the punishments become worse and horrific based on the intensity of the sin. Although my story is not directly linked to Dante and his journey I have used elements and ideas from the book and game and incorporated them accordingly. Have fun on your journey:) Book 1 is done so feel free to take your time, Epilogue coming as well as Book 2 with updates ** this is a bit of a long story but I've been putting a lot of effort into trying to make a great story experience. Please enjoy :) **

I died yesterday. But to make no mistake. This is not a story about death. This is a story about love. Not lust. Not anger. Not forgiveness. Not desire. Just love. Stories aren't so simple this way anymore I think. This one is simple enough. Girl meets Boy. She hates boy, but she finds him intriguing. She learns more about him and suddenly his golden dark brown eyes remind her of the setting sun. Suddenly hate... is dislike... then friendship... then kindness... Suddenly it is love. In this story... Girl meets boy. But first the girl must die. Second she has to become his food. Third, the Boy must reveal his darkest secret. That he is no boy at all. But a monster the world had thought they'd killed off long, long ago. A Nosferatu. A lineage of vampires that would make any man's -magical or human-blood freeze over in fear. So really this story is dead Girl meets undead Boy and discovers she must be his food for eternity. But trust me, I promise... it's not that complicated.

I'm Xirasti a pure demon that lives in hell. When I was a child on accident I found an angel trapped in the bottom of a cavern. From the first moment I saw him he was mystical and enchanting. As I grew older he became beautiful and had me enraptured. Then I set him free. Things did not go as expected. What I do know is: I almost died for him. I burned for him. I bled for him. I sacrificed for him. I deceived for him. I stole for him. I longed for him. Then once he is free I do them all over again and again. Because Sam, I'd follow him anywhere. What better reason is there to sacrifice yourself for someone other than love?

Victor has never considered himself a monster. Sure, he came into the world in a somewhat unconventional way, and maybe he doesn't have all of his original organs. And he still looks 30 at 53 (or is it 83?). But his sole purpose in life has been to love, his only goal to enjoy the life he was given. Now they are hunting him for answers he doesn't have and he must decide if life without love has any meaning at all.
