PAWNS RISE AGAINST THE STRINGS

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

Vampire or Ex love

Prologue: The first thing I heard was a child crying. Not loudly. Not anymore. It was the soft, broken sound of someone who had already cried until there were no tears left. I opened my eyes. Darkness. I tried to move, but my body wouldn't obey. Someone was holding my hand. A small hand. Warm. Shaking. “Please don't leave me.” The voice was tiny. My heart clenched. I tried to answer. Nothing came out. I couldn't see the child's face. I couldn't even remember why I was there. Then I heard another voice. A man's voice. Cold. Urgent. “It's too late.” “No.” The word left my lips before I even knew I could speak. “No, please.” Something warm slid down my cheek. I didn't know if it was blood or tears. I only knew that I was terrified. The child's hand tightened around mine. “Mommy…” My breath caught. Mommy? I tried to pull the child closer. I couldn't. My body felt impossibly heavy. The darkness around me began to swallow everything. The man's voice became distant. The child's crying faded. And just before everything disappeared, I heard one final sentence. “You have to forget.” I wanted to scream. I wanted to fight. I wanted to remember. But the darkness won. “Bella.” My eyes snapped open. I gasped for air. I was sitting upright in my bed, my heart pounding violently against my ribs. I looked around. My room. My life. Everything was exactly where it was supposed to be. I pressed a trembling hand against my chest. A nightmare. Just a nightmare. At least, that's what I told myself. Because there was no way I could have forgotten something that had never happened. Right?
