Silas
I am the monster made, not born. Created in blood. Scarred by it. Defined by it.
The world sees who I allow them to see.
A decorated detective. Protector of the innocent.
That’s only half the truth. I do uphold the law by day. But by night?
I rewrite it.
I learned young that the law doesn’t protect everyone.
So I hunt down those who think they’re untouchable. The monsters justice has forgotten.
And I deliver it.
Every kill is a promise kept. Every body, a balance restored.
I follow my own rules. I leave no trace. I feel nothing.
Until her.
When her monsters came too close, I did what I do best. I made them disappear.
But saving her meant exposing the side of me no one was ever meant to see.
The night I saved her, I broke one rule.
The moment I decided to keep her?
I broke them all.

I’ve spent my life being used, hurt, preyed upon… forgotten.
The world broke me, and no one noticed.
No one but him.
I should have run… but I didn’t.
Because for the first time, someone saw me.
The cracks. The fear. The defeat.
He thinks he saved me from a monster.
He saved me by showing me a darkness I never knew I needed.
I don’t want to run. I want to learn.
Monsters don’t scare me anymore.
Not when I have the biggest monster of them all.
