The descent into Hell was not marked by fire.It was marked by silence.Lucas did not step through a gate, nor did he summon a portal. Hell recognized him—felt him—and parted.The air shifted first.What little movement existed in that cursed realm stilled, as though the world itself had drawn in a breath it dared not release. Then the ground beneath his feet darkened further, veins of molten crimson receding like blood retreating from a wound.He had not been here in a long time.Not because he feared it.Fear was a language Hell understood—but never dared speak to him.No… he had stayed away because this place remembered.Every scream. Every fall. Every moment of weakness.And worst of all… it remembered his father's humiliation of him.Lucas walked forward, his steps measured, unhurried, yet carrying a weight that pressed against the very bones of Hell. The corridor stretched before him—endless, suffocating, lined with walls that pulsed faintly, as though alive. Shadows clung to th

Aria stepped out of the school gates beside Mark, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the pavement. Their conversation had been light, easy—Mark always had a way of making things feel uncomplicated—but her mind wasn’t entirely in it. It hadn’t been for weeks.Ever since Lucas had started keeping his distance.She had told herself it didn’t matter. That she didn’t care. That whatever they had—whatever he had made it—was better left alone.And yet…Her steps slowed.There, parked just across the road, was a sleek black sedan. Polished. Imposing. Familiar.Her breath caught.No… it couldn’t—But it was.Lucas leaned casually against the car, his posture relaxed in a way that didn’t fool her for a second. Even from a distance, there was something sharp about him today. Something controlled. Dangerous.Her heart betrayed her with a sudden, violent thud.Why is he here?After weeks of silence… weeks of distance… now this?“Aria?” Mark’s voice pulled her slightly back, but s

Lucas’s mansion did not feel like a home. Not today. The structure stood tall, elegant as always, its towering windows catching what little daylight filtered through the overcast sky. But inside— Inside, the air felt wrong. Heavy. Charged. Like something unseen had settled into the walls, pressing in, waiting. Lucas stood near one of the large windows, his back partially turned to the room. His gaze was fixed outside, though it was clear he wasn’t really seeing anything. His thoughts were elsewhere. On her. Always on her. The image refused to leave his mind—Aria, smiling softly, standing too close to someone else. Letting someone else lead her. Trusting someone else. His jaw tightened. “You’re going to wear a hole into the glass at this rate.” Her voice came like silk over steel. Lucas didn’t turn immediately. He didn’t need to. “Selene,” he said flatly. She stood near the entrance of the room, leaning slightly against the doorway as though she owned the place. Her

Morning came, but it didn’t feel like morning. There was no softness to it. No gentle easing into the day. Just a dull, dragging awareness that time had moved forward whether Aria was ready or not. Rain tapped lightly against her window—not the violent storm from the day before, but something quieter. Lingering. Like the world hadn’t quite shaken off whatever weight it had carried overnight. Aria lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. She’d been awake for a while. Long enough to notice the way the light shifted behind the curtains. Long enough to realize she had no intention of getting up anytime soon. Her body felt heavy. Not tired—just… unwilling. Her mind, however, refused to be still. Selene. That image wouldn’t leave her. The way she had stood in the apartment like she belonged there. The calm confidence. The unsettling ease with which she had spoken about things Aria barely understood. And then there was what she had said. About a coming war... and the decisio

Hell did not burn the way mortals imagined it. There were no endless lakes of fire, no screaming pits lined with writhing bodies begging for mercy. That was a child’s understanding of punishment. A crude interpretation of something far more intricate. Hell was… deliberate. Alive. Breathing in ways that did not require air. The sky—if it could be called that—was not a sky at all, but a fractured expanse of shifting darkness, like glass that had been shattered and rearranged by something with no concept of symmetry. Between those fractures, something glowed faintly, pulsing like veins beneath skin—deep reds, bruised purples, flickers of gold that felt less like light and more like something watching. The ground was worse. It was not solid in the way earth should be. It looked like polished obsidian at first glance, smooth and reflective, but beneath its surface, shadows moved. Not reflections—no. Movements. Shapes that twisted and recoiled as though something had been trapped ben

The rain had started sometime before dawn.At first, it was gentle—soft taps against the window, like someone asking politely to be let in. But as the hours passed, it grew heavier, louder, until it consumed everything. It drowned out the city noise, swallowed the world whole, and wrapped Aria’s apartment in a cocoon of gray.She hadn’t gotten out of bed.Not because she couldn’t—but because she didn’t have the strength to.The blanket was pulled up to her chin, her body curled inward as though trying to protect something fragile inside her. Her phone lay beside her, screen dark now, but not long ago it had lit up with Mark’s name.“Hey. It’s pouring. I can pick you up if you want.”His voice had been warm. Easy. Safe.She had hesitated.For a second too long.Then she remembered.The demon guards.Across the street. Always watching. Always reporting.And more than that—Lucas.The thought of accepting a ride from Mark felt… wrong. Not because she owed Lucas anything. Not after the way

I didn't wait to hear the final bell ring. The moment the teacher closed her book, I was out of my seat, my books already in my backpack. I had earlier told Dad and Mom not to bother picking me up. Not because I was embarrassed of them, but because I wanted to take in the glory of the weird town again, and most especially, I wanted to watch the translucent girl closely. Raven Hollow High School was just as strange as the town that housed it_quiet, eerie, and filled with eyes that lingered a little too long. But none of these strange things stuck to me the way the strange breathtaking girl did. The girl with the snow white skin, and long gray hair, you'd think it wasn't real. True, that she hadn't said a word to me, or even spared me a glance... but her presence was suffocating. Cold. Ethereal. Distant. Like she belonged to another time, another world entirely. She was the kind of character you'd see in horror movies. Her porcelain skin made me remember the vampires from the

Back at Texas, I usually slept till 7:30 a.m before waking to prepare for school, but here, it wasn't the same. I've never dreaded a Monday like I dreaded this one, all my life. My alarm buzzed at 6:30, ruining my half decent dream about waffles, and my Texan besties. I slapped it off, shutting my eyes tightly so I could go back to the dreams. Mom shouted something from down the hallway. I groaned into my pillow, and sat up on the tiny bed. I hated it here. Everything was different. The strange ceiling above me. It wasn't the ceiling I used to wake up to. The room looked strange, and I wished it would disappear in a blink of my eyes. I stared at the wall, and I hated it more. Instead of the posters of my favorite band, it was a bare wood with a water stain in the shape of something vaguely resembling a skull. I groaned loudly and fell on the bed, kicking my legs into the air with frustration. This house felt more like a haunted bed-and-breakfast, than a home. It was cold, quiet, cre

MARY'S POV I used to believe that I had it all figured out. I loved Texas. It was loud, bright, and bold; just like me. There were fast cars, loud music, and bonfires that lasted until dawn. And then, there was my friends that had become more like a family. Life at Texas was just perfect for me. I knew who I was in that world, and I had a wonderful set of routine. My school, where I was even the cheerleader for our basketball team. Movie marathon nights with my clique, a lot of sleepovers, and summer parties at my favorite beach house. I had everything I could ever want. Until the accident happened. It wasn't just any regular kind of accident, or the type seen in Hollywood movies. It was a horror-filled accident that had cracked something in my parents. We were out on a sunday like every other family. We visited the park, rode in the rollercoasters, and saw a movie. It was the perfect family time for a perfect family. With music playing aloud from the car radio, we danced to th

They called it the Raven Hollow Town.Even the name tasted like ash and shadow when spoken aloud. It was a town, old with time, and hidden in the deep Northern reaches. These town nestled between jagged mountains, and dense ancient woods that whispered of things unseen.Unlike other cities, Raven Hollow wasn't a place people readily moved in to. The townfolk of this dark city were rumored to be cursed. They never asked too many questions, never stayed out late, and they never stray too far from the streets once dusk has kissed the sky.This routine wasn't a thing of choice. It was an unspoken rule that they had to adhere to, for their own safety.There was something in the air; an unspoken fear that clung to the mist, and threaded through every whispered warning."Keep your doors locked at night." They said."Do not open your doors to anyone after midnight.""Stay indoors after dark.""Never stray into the woods..."And the loudest warning of them all was;"Do not trust any friendly
