The Hilariously Dark Life of Lana Lucky by jbwrites03
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Farrah Smart is an anxious yet highly intelligent detective that mostly sticks to navigating not only their work but also this dangerous and unpredictable life on their own. When they come across an interesting case involving a company of interest, they find it hard to turn it down. No matter the danger. Their curiosity just couldn't die down, even if they wanted it to. As they start their investigation, they get to know several different employees. Including a brightly dressed, somewhat creepy receptionist, one robotic assistant missing a few screws, an older man who couldn't be much more interesting than a door knob, and the boss who is known for her cold shoulder and tight grip around her employees. And once they get to know this seemingly random selection of individuals, they slowly start to create their general pool of suspects within their mystery. But as time goes on, their strange case starts to piece itself together. And we start to learn that everything's much more complicated than anything this detective has seen before. Still, it might take much convincing before Smart learns that not everything is as black and white as they once believed. And maybe not all monsters are easy to kill. Maybe some can look redeemable when their choices are their only way towards survival.

After encountering something of myths one day after work, Valentina begins questioning her once mundane world. Seeking answers to prove she's not crazy, she receives another shocking truth that hits even closer to home. Mason returns home to escape his past, but familiar faces return, and new threats arrive in town. Keeping an eye on the enemy, he struggles to avoid getting involved any more than he should. But, when their paths cross, they learn not everything is black and white, and the people you least suspect could be your enemy. ------ 'This is a dumb idea' she thought to herself. Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.
