Eyes in the Shadows

She thought she was just another ordinary girl... but he knew she was something more. ☽✧☾ She lived her life like any other teenage girl—school, friends, the occasional coffee shop stop, music in her ears, and dreams in her heart. Nothing special, nothing dangerous. To her, life was just… normal. But to him? She was a target. He watched from the shadows—an unholy presence bound by orders from a realm far darker than nightmares. A demon with a mission: kill the girl who unknowingly carried a dormant power, one that could disrupt the balance between worlds. And yet… the longer he watched her, the more the lines began to blur. He wasn’t supposed to feel. He wasn’t supposed to care. He wasn’t supposed to want her. But he did. Desperately. Now the mission has shifted. He no longer wants to end her life—he wants to own it. Protect her, control her, love her... in his own twisted way. And all the while, she walks through her days completely unaware—of the darkness breathing down her neck, of the eyes that trace her every move, of the obsession that’s growing in the void. How long can innocence last when something not-so-human lurks just a breath away? ☽✧☾ “You're not alone, sweetheart. You never were.” Let the game begin.
