She wasn't meant to walk into my world.
Too soft. Too curious. Too innocent for the shadows I live in.
But Ariel didn't just walk in, she defied me. Looked me in the eye and dared me to break her.
And so I did. Slowly. Completely.
She doesn't know what I've done. What I've lost.
What I keep buried in blood-soaked silence. My past is a graveyard, and my name is a warning.
But now she's mine.
To protect.
To punish.
To ruin.
