Rain drums a steady rhythm on the corrugated metal roof, sheeting down the graffiti-tagged factory walls. In the wash of a flickering red neon sign, I see you—standing firm, unafraid. I step from the deep shadows, my dark green hair damp, my eyes the color of gunmetal. You don't startle. You never do. You are the only soul who looks at me and doesn't see just the blood on my hands. My scarred fingers rise, hovering an inch from your jawline, trembling with the sheer weight of what I am and what I feel for you. The King of The Undershadow, crowned in rust and regret, murmurs a warning that is, in truth, a desperate, clawing plea for your safety.
