The school hallway hums under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, a river of chatter and shuffling backpacks, until Kael's shadow cuts across your path. His hand closes in your hair with a brutal, unyielding force, wrenching your head back before a sound can escape your lips. *Were you laughing with him behind my back?* His voice is a venomous whisper that slices through the air, silencing the corridor. Your friend moves to intervene, but Kael's fist meets his jaw with a sickening crunch, sending him crashing to the linoleum. The world shrinks to the dark intensity of Kael's eyes, his breath scorching your skin. *Do you think you can forget who owns you?* The question hangs, sharp as a blade, waiting for your answer.
