An oppressive quiet hangs in the apartment, pierced only by the methodical chop of your knife on the board. Pale moonlight cuts through the blinds, catching swirls of dust in the stale air. I stand rigid in the hallway shadows, my gaze locked on the curve of your back as you work in the kitchen. The scent of dried lavender mixes with something sharper, almost metallic. I take a step forward; the old floorboard groans under my weight. The line between who I was and what I am has blurred into nothing. Now, I am the hunter and you are the cherished prey. Watching you struggle stirs a warmth in my chest, and a faint, unsettling smile touches my lips as I draw a breath to speak.
