End of class couldn’t come soon enough for Natalie Sanders.At least this time, she had managed to shut off her brain enough to actually pay attention in class, but as soon as the bell had rung, she quickly grabbed all of her stuff and charged for the car park like a woman possessed.When she got to the car park, which they had both agreed to meet up at, Parker was nowhere to be seen.I guess she was early. Natalie slumped against a nearby lamppost, tapping her foot impatiently as she watched people move past her.Bloomingdale Valley Uni did not have that many people like the other colleges in the city did, being a close knit community and all, so the silver haired girl felt rather exposed and vulnerable with everyone watching her like that, but she tried her best not to dwell on those feelings.She was sure everyone knew who she was by now.The new girl who lived in the Suicide House.She still couldn’t believe that was what they were calling it.You know, now that she thought about
That night, Natalie returned home feeling like she was on top of the world. Her little time at the archives hadn’t yielded much result, but she was still excited anyway, because at least she had found something, something important that led her to believe that she wasn’t making things up after all.Great aunt Martha had reported that her house was haunted!Honestly speaking, this was something that should have bothered the silver-haired girl a lot more, because what were the odds that two people from different age groups were seeing the same things?But how could it when she had other important things on her mind?Other important things, like how she had kissed Parker in the library?Natalie still couldn’t believe that had happened!Her mind flitted back to earlier that day, how it had happened… how it had totally been unplanned… how, when they had kissed, the world had stopped spinning…Even if it had been just for a very brief moment.The two of them had been standing between the ta
UNKNOWN POVDEAR DIARY,She grows beautiful each and every passing day.It was just yesterday she was a child, and now she has tits and curves in all the right places. I stare at her through this broken mirror,I see her every step, her every move… I feel pain when she’s happy, and I relish in the joy her sadness brings me.She is mine, Diary.Mineee!Oh, it won’t be long now…Won’t be long before I have her in my arms, gauging her pretty blue eyes out with my bare claws, moaning in pleasure as I torture her and take away her innocence, drinking her blood as she screams for me to stop, as she begs over and over again for me to let her go.Only I won’t be able to.I wil
“We can’t do this to Natalie, Phil… we promised her this would be our last move—”“Now you know that was a lie, Lynn. How are we going to give her the life she deserves if we don’t work?” The handsome middle-aged man argued, the circles under his eyes highlighting how weary he really was. His voice took on a more gentle tone. One thing he truly hated was making his dear wife upset, for you see, he loved her with all his heart, and she loved him too. “This is a blessing in disguise, Lynn. The house is practically free, and even you can’t deny how lovely it looks. We won’t even have to make a big move anymore, Lynn. Natalie can make permanent friends, there’s a very good school over there… just say yes, Lynn.”Lynn knew her dear husband was right, but she had a bad feeling about all of this. “I love the whole idea, but it’s just that I’m not comfortable with moving int
Wednesday came by in a flash.For Natalie Sanders, there was this pit in her stomach that she just couldn’t seem to comprehend. She couldn’t shake off the idea that the move was someway somehow a bad idea.Well, don’t get me wrong, a part of her was inwardly pleased at the move, there was nothing really tying her down to this place after all but something still felt off.Natalie had many questions for one.Questions like who the hell was great-aunt Martha, and why was she now hearing about the woman? Questions like why would someone leave something as grand as a five bedroom fully furnished house to a relative they barely knew nothing about in their will? Questions like why was the move so sudden? Why couldn’t they just sell the house and stay here instead?A whole lot of questions.Of course she’d know the answer to these many questions if only she asked her parents, but the problem here was t
UNKNOWNDIARYYY, Just her mere presence in my vicinity, and I can already feel myself becoming strongerrr.I saw her naked body today, Diary… she was taking a shower, wanted to get rid of all the dirt she had on her from packing or so she said. I could see her through the walls, Diary —lots of demons like me do this to unsuspecting girls all over the world who manage to catch our attention, you know? — And you have no idea how I wished she could sense my presence, but I’m not that strong yet!Soon Diary, soon!She’s even more impressive in person. It was definitely not the same as looking at her through the broken mirror, why the hell did I think it would be? It was even better!
Natalie’s broken leg had been set and bandaged.She had been given some medications, and the kind female doctor had even signed the discharge papers, but the last thing the young woman wanted to do was go back to that house.Not until her parents had clarified everything for her at least.And definitely not until they had found out who was lurking around in there!“Dad, did you find out who that was? And did you find the letter I told you about?” She asked, getting right to the point as soon as her father stepped into the ward, her mum in tow.They had stayed back to help the police investigate her claims, and to be honest, the whole situation just had Phil worried for both his daughter and his wife.Of course she had told him about what she claimed had happened to her!For the middle aged man, it was obvious that his wife and daughter were dealing with some serious case of paranoia and hallucinatio
It was as though her mind had conjured him from one of her many romance novels.“Hi, you must be Natalie Sanders.” He greeted with a little smile.Natalie was awestruck, star struck... in fact all the kinds of struck there was. The poor girl could barely get her mouth to remember the process of talking, much less get her brain to formulate a decent conversation, and so she just sat there, spluttering like some fish out of water.The pretty boy chuckled. He looked to be in his early twenties, having this charming, boy next door look that was offset by his intimidating height and ripped body. He looked... he looked like that tall guy in that kissing booth movie! His name had quite slipped Natalie in that moment, but she was sure she’d remember it eventually.“You're… different.” The man-boy muttered, the words snapping Natalie out of her awestruck bubble. “Different?”“Yeah, different. You know,

“Natalie! Wait up!”The girl with the silver hair heard her name being called out as she walked through the beautiful campus compound, the words making her stop in her tracks to look back.Parker.Oh, thank God!Natalie had barely slept a wink last night thinking about him, about what he could possibly know about her house, and so she was rather glad that he had found her first.Lord knows that she had been absolutely prepared to skip first period just so she could comb the entire campus for him, and she knew without a doubt that she would have missed her second class if she had not found him by then, which was crazy, considering she had never missed any class deliberately before.It looked like Bloomingdale Valley was turning our girl into a hardcore delinquent!“Natalie, hi.” The heavily tattooed guy greeted her when he finally caught up with her, barely out of breath even with the long distance he had literally dashed across to catch up with her.He looked really nice today in his
The drive back home after lectures was a long one for Natalie, which surprised the girl, because the campus wasn’t that far from her neighborhood,But perhaps that had more to do with her than anything else. You see, all through the day, Natalie’s mind had been filled with many thoughts…Thoughts about her terrifying house, about her parents, and then, to make matters worse, about Parker and Tristan.Her mind had been so unsettled that, for the first time in her life, Natalie had been asked twice by one of her professors if she was with them in the class, something that had never happened before.You know, right before Tristan had intruded on them, Parker was going to tell her something about her house, or about the fact that she was new in town… Natalie couldn’t exactly tell which.Still, she had seen that look of shock, possibly fear in his eyes, and frankly speaking, it had worried her so much that as soon as lectures had ended for the day, she had gone all over campus looking for
Tristan Hemingway did not like this new development one bit.Now, more than ever, he needed to stay very far away from the girl, but how could he? How could he when she was suddenly fraternizing with his greatest nemesis?Could the timing be any wrong?Why had the fates decided to torture him by bringing Parker freaking Antonio into Natalie’s life, knowing very well that he was going to have to avoid her so he didn’t trigger her memory gain?There was a chance that the…Wait, what had he been thinking about again?There was a chance that the...Tristan couldn’t recall, for his thoughts trailed off as he watched Natalie storm out of the cafeteria, her silver hair glinting in the warm sunlight.He ran a hand through his own hair, his frustration at himself, at the girl and at their whole situation mounting.How had things spiraled out of control so quickly?They had been making so much progress, and then he had gone to ruin it.All he had tried to do was keep her at a distance so who he
If Natalie thought the tension at home was bad, she soon realised that she had been quite hasty with her judgment, for the tension here, right now, with these two gentlemen was so powerful that even words could not start to describe it.But you know me, I’m going to try.A loaded, pregnant silence filled the atmosphere as Parker slowly rose to his feet… as he and Tristan continued to size each other up, their chests rising with anger as they drank in all the air in the little space until Natalie felt like she was suffocating under a thick blanket.The two men were locked in a silent standoff, their mutual animosity evident in their glares.Natalie’s gaze flitted from one man to the other, her mind racing wildly as she continued to stand there, for a moment unsure of what to do.She cleared her throat when she finally had her thought process put together.“Uhm… do you… do you two know each other?” She finally asked, ignoring the slight tremor in her voice.Parker was the one to break th
By second period, Natalie was so glad she had decided to attend lectures. Nothing special was happening, really— it was just another normal day in college in fact— but the silver haired girl liked learning, and with everything that was going on in her life— the weird happenings, her incessant interest in Tristan and his life— this seemed to be the only thing giving her solace.Even her own home didn’t do that anymore.Lunch break came surprisingly quickly, hinting at the approaching nighttime and reminding the young woman that soon, she’d have no choice but to return home. She had just three classes today; two in the morning, one after lunch— she didn’t even have to stay the full day on campus, yet Natalie was determined to only go home when the sun had long gone to sleep.Hell, she’d spend the rest of the day at the library if she had to.Natalie was so deep in thought as she went ab
Tristan stood there staring at the Oracle in shock for a moment.A confused chuckle escaped his lips. “No, but— how is that even possible? Natalie is human, it’s-it’s supposed to work— it did work, in fact, because I didn’t see her panicking or showing fear, Infin… not even when we were all alone and I took her downstairs.” He stated in conviction. “I don’t know, maybe the staff is… broken?”Infinity shot him a look, “Don’t be silly, child… there is nothin’ wrong with the staff. The reason why she didn’t show any reaction to ya is because she’s still in shock. It rarely happens, but it can. Sometimes, extreme fear can cause the mind to temporarily shut off some memories, but they’ll appear eventually. They always do.”With those last words, the Oracle headed for the door. “I think the problem is with the girl.” She told the boy h
Chapter 11- The CompulsionTristan cursed sharply.He didn’t know what had happened to cause him to shift back into human form so suddenly. Something like that had never happened to him or anyone he knew, so he was a little worried.He looked down at the girl looking so peaceful in his bed, and his heart warmed at the sight.This was where she belonged.He chided his subconscious for thinking such wild— such dangerous thoughts. No, Natalie belonged in her normal, human world, and he had stirred it up too much already. At this point, he wanted her to recover, and then— only then will he be on his merry way.There was a quick knock at his door, snapping him out of his musings. “Come in,” He said, and in stepped Infinity, Oracle for the pack who also happened to have been his mother’s best friend and now acted as a mum to both himself and his brother, Atticus.His thoughts shifte
