The hunted hour (Legend)

 Once there was a couple who had recently moved to a small town in Florida.  They had to unpack all of their bags as soon as they arrived. The boyfriend was called Steven and the girlfriend was called Claire. They were a very happy couple who were deeply inlove with each other. They were young in age, about 22-24 years ols.
One night, after the few days they have spent there, they decided to go clubbing and meet new places since they were new to town and there was not much to do. They drove the car for a long while searching for a club, but they didnt find any. They then saw a young man on the road and decided to ask him for directions since they were new in town. The man seemed nice but was a little bit weird since he spoke to them as if he has seen them before. They didn't give much importance to that detail and they let the man give  some directions of where to go. They thanked him and continued their way to the club. Once they arrived, they noticed it was a decent place where many people went to in that town, and It was very known by people there. They had some few drinks and danced all night. About 2 am when they were feeling a bit tipsy and tired after all the fun that they had, they decided to head back to their place since it was getting late and the roads were very dangerous and alone. They reached their place, and as they entered, they felt all tingly and weird inside as if someone has been there since they were gone or as if someone broke in. Things were unusual and out of order. They  searched up the house with a knife in their shaking hands, but didn't find anything so they decided to go to bed. Claire  woke up at around 3:00 am after hearing a loud noise comming from the living room. She was scared to go check it out by herself that she had to wake her  boyfriend, Steven, up. He woke up and they went to check it out. Claire saw a shadow of someone standing in the corner of the living room. They called 911 immediately  since they were so afraid and they told them they'd be there in 10. They hid in an abandoned basement where they thought the man wouldn't find them. They heard footsteps above them. Steven decided to leave the basement and find out what the man wanted. Claire saw the man stab her boyfriend in the heart. She got out of the basement and out of rage took a shovel and hit the man at the back of the head with it. She started crying because she couldn't believe what was infront of her. She had just killed a man, and the idea of that and the idea of her boyfriend being dead shocked her. The  police never arrived. The next day, at around the same time, she woke up because she was hearing noises and seeing shadows again. And now not only one shadow, but two. She got off her bed out of nowhere, and started walking towards the kitchen as if she were sleep walking or possessed. She slowly grabbed a knife without making any noise and stabbed it through her heart.
Since then, people heard noises comming from that house and saw unusual things happen at 3:20 am.
It has been abandoned for a long while  after the tragic moment that was experienced there.

Starred Sky (myth)

A long time ago, when the land of earth was ruled by the higher gods from the sky, a baby was born from a  Goddess named Josephine; queen of all gods. Josephine was married to the most powerful God there was at that time, and he was called Jacob; king of all gods. The child they had was a girl named Evelyn. She was a beautiful girl; born with long, soft hair and had crystal blue eyes, she even had the cutest two dimples on her cheeks. As Evelyn grew, she knew that one day she would have to marry another God which her dad has chosen for her.
When Evelyn finally turned 18 and celebrated it with her loved ones, some handsome Gods began to come day after day asking for her hand in marriage while scared Evelyn did not approve of any. She has always wanted to get married after she finds true love and not any prepared or forced marriage. As days turn to weeks and weeks to months, Evelyn's heart grew colder and darker since no one loved her.
One day, as gorgeous Evelyn was wondering through the green gardens, she came across a large hole that couldn't be missed, she got on her hands and knees and looked into it out of curiosity. Down that hole was something she has never seen before, it was like a new world for her; it was the middle world where the humans lived. Evelyn had been warned by her father before to never go near there, he tells her its a very strange and dangerous place. As she stared into that somehow dark hole, she fell in love with the middle earth and with all the humans inside there. Well in particular, with a very handsome fisherman  named Ethan. He was a gorgeous man; aside from others, he was free and open minded and a very brave and strong young man. Evelyn laid there the whole time staring into Ethan's green eyes, until she finally made the decision to abandon the father's dreams he had for her, and ran away with Ethan thinking it was the right thing to do. With one last look, she stepped into that hole and ran to him sure about herself. As soon as she saw him standing that nearby to her, they fell inlove with each other instantly. They decided to run away to the sea together, and hid in a hidden cave where no one would find them with magic upon it so it would stop any eyes from finding them; Including all powerful gods.
As soon as her father (king Jacob) found out that his young daughter left all her god duties to run away with a silly man she just met, he stormed around with rage trying to make a plan to find her, but no matter how hard he tried looking for her, he couldn't find his sweet and loving daughter Evelyn. He even tried lighting the whole sky and calling her name, but never was there an answer. The devastated king went back to his kingdom to never seeing Evelyn again.
Since then, he lights up the sky every year and calls her name hoping she would appear, yet she never came back.
