I did not dare to turn around; his massive shadow was stretching across the walls by the faint light of the moon, like a monster preparing to swallow me. ​The beats of my small heart raced with his steps that were drawing closer. Driven by blind fear, I pushed the door of the large bedroom with all the small strength I possessed, entered, and then closed it behind me while trembling. ​I froze in my place, and my eyes widened in a terror that completely paralyzed my limbs. There, in the middle of the room, lay a corpse I did not know, drowning in blood. Death fills the place, and the sharp, metallic smell of blood chokes my breath.

But there was something pulling at the back of my mind; something that made me ask myself: why was the killer heading directly to me? Why wasn't he searching each and every aisle to see if someone else was in here other than me? Maybe it was that obvious that someone would be hiding at the end of the library. Nice going Fiona. I held my breath as the steps slowed down in pace. This seriously felt like a horror movie where the killer creeps around the corner slowly before killing his next victim.

It was just a random pull, but Liz found herself stunned at the bold title. My Stepbrother Is My Lover. Her face twisted in disgust. She stared at the title for a moment longer than she should have. Seriously? She had expected ancient books. History. Something important. Not… this. Did Damien read this? Was this some sort of fetish? She shoved the book back into place, frowning. “I would never read something like that,” she muttered. She turned and nearly collided with someone. A man stood behind her. He was tall. Broad-shouldered. Impossibly handsome in a way that didn’t feel human. Well, that’s probably because he wasn’t human.

I slid the zipper down, and that’s when I saw it. Fuck! He was huge. A thick, heavy, black cock that looked big enough to tear me into pieces. It throbbed with a dark, terrifying heat that radiated against my face. My breath hitched. I had seen plenty of men in this room, but nothing like this. This wasn't a game anymore. The cocky girl who ran the restaurant was gone; only the fear remained. "What's the matter, Kessie?" he rasped, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that vibrated in my very bones. "Lost your appetite?"

Richard I took my first step after standing paralyzed for so long, one step at a time, slowly. I can't breathe as I watch the scene unfold before my eyes get much more horrifying. The furniture is overturned, the walls are splattered with blood, and a chilling breeze sends shivers down my spine. My heart races as I watch the chaos and destruction that have consumed the once-peaceful room. The eerie silence amplifies the sense of dread, making it difficult to comprehend the unimaginable events that have transpired.

Colin’s gaze falls to the book. “What is that?” “It’s our secret weapon.” “Yes, a book sounds really dangerous,” Stephen spits. “What is in the book is what matters,” I reply. “What’s in it, Alex?” Colin asks. “It’s the secrets of several supernatural species. Almost like someone researched them and recorded everything. Including all the ways to kill or harm them. Whoever wrote it had to have survived some really crazy things.” “Where did you find it?” Ray asks. “Was it in your library this whole time?”

I wanted to see who it was, the voice didn't sound familiar, the voice was deep and scary. I heard footsteps walking towards me and I held my breath, as the smell of a decaying body became more potent and overwhelming. I took a step backwards, the library's temperature continued dropping and a dark ominous aura filled the room. Whoever this person was is filled with so much evil. I looked closer into the dark corner, and the person finally stepped out of the dark into the light. I gasped and stepped back, slapping my hands over my mouth as I stared at the person in front of me, who looked dead rather than alive.

A disconcerting symphony echoed in the form of creepy, scary footsteps, their ominous rhythm making its way over dry, crunchy leaves. The steps, an unwelcome cadence, approached swiftly, each one amplifying the sense of impending dread. My heart, a heavy drum in my chest, plummeted to the pit of my stomach, leaving me trembling. Profuse beads of sweat formed on my forehead, a testament to the intensity of the fear gripping me. The serenity of the moment shattered, replaced by a haunting uncertainty, as the footsteps drew nearer, casting a dark shadow over the once-peaceful scene.
