The Lakes stretched out into the darkness, a place the town's warnings painted as forbidden once night fell. Starfalls, a rain-soaked mountain town wrapped in forest and old superstitions, lay in an eerie, waiting silence. Harry Styles was a solitary figure on the old dock, the local tales of things in the water met with his characteristic, dry smirk. Moonlight caught the water's surface, turning it into a sheet of fractured silver that reminded him of the coast. He sat perfectly still, completely oblivious to the pair of eyes observing him from just beneath the ripples, where sleek fins stirred the deep without a whisper.
