Fear! I was just beginning to get used to sleeping with the lights off, and now I've read too much again... creepy. I lived with my parents in a 1-bedroom apartment, slept in the living room where my grandmother used to live.
My sister and parents slept in another room. Once I woke up at night and felt that someone was looking at me (with no light it's pitch dark there, you can't see anything, so I'd always slept facing the wall). So I lay there and thought that it was nonsense! And suddenly, I felt some movement and mechanically quietly whisper in fear "leave, go away" and somehow I calmed down. I thought, damn, I've seen too many horror movies and imagine it all. After a couple of minutes, not more, my sister in the other room started yelling. I was so scared my heart almost stopped! I quickly rant into the parents' room, bumped on the bed even! My sister was in hysteria "Grandma came! I saw her, she adjusted my blanket."

8 263Dungeon of Night
Eden is at peace. The kingdoms and races will have the odd skirmish, and occasionally there will be an outbreak of a particularly dangerous monster that hunters would have to face, but largely Eden was in a time of tranquility. On the surface. In reality the kingdoms were each looking for something to give them the winning edge over their neighbors, many secretive groups hatched plots and schemes in search of power, and the number of deadly monsters grew with every year. In this time of false peace a strange dungeon is born, one that could potentially change Eden forever. But more importantly the birth of this new dungeon could shatter the façade of peace that has held sway over Eden for the past three hundred years. On Hold Random Releases

In the middle of winter, a promise of treasure of an ancient civilization grabbed their attention, triggering a chain of events that would change their lives forever, and possibly end the world. Main characters: - Kiera Bloodcrest. A commoner young adult human who ran away from her abusive home. - Elynn Dorlana. A young adult princess, banished from elven lands to prove her worth once again among humans with notorious hatred for their kind. This story tackles sensitive subjects such as racism (against a fictional race), parental abuse and extreme violence. Read at your own discretion.
