Hey Readers. This is a new story that's a passion project for me. It's a fantasy and it's going to be at least 15 chapters long.
If you are following my other story and is wondering when the next chapter will be released fret not. I am currently working on A Love that was Meant to Be Ch. 3! Coming soon!
I re-read my stories twice before uploading. Seeing that I do this causally I'm not really concerned about grammar errors. So if you see one please try to ignore it.
Again this is a new story and it's fantasy involving supernatural creatures (i.e. vampires elves etc.). No animals. No one is under 18 in this story.
Thank you for reading hope you enjoy.

My Roommates are Monsters
Chapter 1: My New Roommate...
Benjamin Parker. Age 26. American citizen. Date of birth 11/18/92.
This is a Department of Supernatural Affairs or D.O.S.A. journal. Subject has agreed to tell detailed accounts of the last 13 months of his life. Each and every entry in this journal is accurate and true.
He hereby agrees that this journal can and will be used by the D.O.S.A. for future studies and reference.
His story begins here:
It was the day after Christmas. It was frighteningly cold and there was still a foot of snow on the ground. At one house, in a pretty quiet neighborhood, a guy was waking up from a less than great holiday.
Benjamin Parker woke up in his old king sized bed. He turned over in his bed and looked up at the ceiling. Yesterday had been tough just like last year. The house was quiet and there were no decorations up. Ash always put up the decorations and almost always got us in the mood for Christmas.
Ben met Ashlyn Moon in high school. She was this extremely cute short Asian girl. She was pretty and smart and new to the area. They started dating and stayed together all the way thru high school. Ben proposed to her on their graduation day. The two of them both attended the same college and moved in together. They were completely in love with each other, rarely ever being apart. Ben was infatuated with Ash. She was the light of his life. He traveled with her and took her all over the place.
Soon after graduation Ash became ill. She was sick for a long time and spent a good amount of time in the hospital. Benjamin never left her side. Eventually Ash couldn't beat her sickness and she passed away.
That was two years ago. Ben's first year without Ash was rough. He struggled to adjust to life without her. There were many times he would wake up or come home looking for her, only to find himself alone. After the first year it got better. He had finally adjusted to life without her.
Then he had a different problem. Ash's money she left him was mostly gone and he couldn't afford the house they had gotten together. Ash had the bigger job and he mostly did work from home. Now he had a dilemma, he needed a roommate.
Ben wasn't sure if he was ready for someone else to live with him again but he didn't have much choice. He didn't want to move out of this home. So he put out a ad about 7 months ago. He had gotten a few replies right away, he was in a good neighborhood, but most of them he felt wasn't right. He got one or two a month all the way up till a couple months ago.
It was Friday morning now. Ben was still lying in bed looking up at the ceiling. He didn't really want to get up today. There were lots of days were he just sat in bed all day watching tv or movies. With a mini fridge in the room, he had no reason to leave the bed other than to go to the bathroom. He ready to do that again today.
Before he begin preparing to do that he heard his doorbell ring. He huffed and got out of his bed. Ben walked out of his room down the hall to the front door.
When he opened it, letting that brisk morning air in, there was no one there. Ben looked around searching for someone who might be nearby. No one. Then he looked down and saw an envelope on his doormat. He retrieved it and walked back inside.
He walked back to his room and sat on the bed. The envelope had his name on it in some long cursive handwriting. He opened it and found a letter inside.
"
Dear Ben, I am Flori SΓ’nge."
"What a weird name." I thought. Then I continued.
"
I am writing to inform you that I am interested in potentially becoming a roommate in your home. I have my own job, no spouse or kids, and no pets. I require no assisted living. I am 29 female. I'm interested because I am new to the area and need a place close to my work. I would be elated if you could call me back so we can talk further. Many thanks, Flori."
Ben sat there as he read the letter two more times. He was completely flabbergasted. Why did she write a letter? He knew people still do it but it just seemed so old fashioned. Her letter was also so polite and from her writing she seemed to be of some class. Maybe too much class. Still, there was something that interested Ben about all of it. Something made him curious enough to call her.
He looked in the envelope and found a pic and a card. The card had her name and her number. The picture was of her he was assuming. It was a headshot and it all but made him want to meet her more. From the dark eyes to the bright silver hair. Her look seemed like she was peering right into his soul. She exuded power. Something he never felt from anyone ever before. Ben decided. He would call her.
He reached over and picked up his phone from the nightstand. He dialed the number on card and listened to the ring. Then the call connected.
"Hello." The voice on the other end said.
"Hey is this Floree Sange?" Ben asked.
"Yes." She replied.
"This is Benjamin Parker. I got your...mail...today about possibly wanting to be my roommate." He explained.
"Ahhh. Ben. I'm glad to hear from you. I take it you are interested in my proposition. I am very interested in meeting you and seeing the house." Flori announced.
She had husky powerful voice (like Scarlett Johansson) that sounded like she knew more than she let on. She was being sweet and respectful but it also seemed like she was giving a command.
"Yes I am actually interested in you potentially becoming a roommate. If you want, we can meet up tomorrow over coffee and see if we would be a good fit."
"Hmm. I don't think so." She said bluntly.
"I'm sorry? You don't want to meet?" Ben asked confused.
"Oh no I do. We will meet tonight at 8:35pm at Taylor's. Don't be late." She commanded.
It wasn't a request. She was demanding him to be there. Ben usually would deny such things or defend his ground but something happened to him. He became overwhelmed with a need to obey her. Something compelled him to obey her wish.
"8:35pm. Taylor's. Yes ma'am." Ben said.
"Good. I'll see you then. Bye." Then she hung up.
Ben put the phone on the dresser and stared into space for a minute. He shook his head.
"
What just happened?
He thought. "
Why did I agree to meet her tonight? What was I thinking?"
