" It has taken everything in me these past few months to stay away from her. My obsession with her is insufferable, even for me.
As days went on I longed to be near her, but my shadows would drown her light and all I ever wanted...

Gianna's POV:
Even as Abyss was walking through the pub to leave I could still feel my cheeks hot from his kiss. And from the embarrassment of me kissing him first!
But If he kissed my cheek back that means I shouldn't be embarrassed right? Or maybe I made him uncomfortable and he felt like he needed to do it back. Oh no. I didn't even ask for consent! I'm a horrible person! I need to apologize to him.
A strong grip on my upper arm distracts me from my thoughts. When I look down I see Mama holding me. Her sharp nails dug slightly into my skin. She abruptly stands up and yanks me along.
"W-where are w-we going m-mama?" I asked as she weaved us through the crowded pub and up some stairs.
"Shut up!" She sneered. I immediately closed my mouth. I know that tone from Mama and it means she's very mad at me.
Mama stops in front of the last door in the hall before opening it and quickly rushing me inside where she harshly drops me on the floor. Ouch.
She begins to quickly walk around the room speaking in a language I've never heard her use. She's making hand signs and then I wondered if she was doing that runes spell-casting thing. I learned about that in school! Book smart!
"Mama, I-i thought-t you couldn't u-use magic-c?" Mama turned her head so fast I jumped back in fright. She stalked over to me and slapped me right across my face like she used to.
Oh no. Only 15 minutes with Mama and I already upset her. I was supposed to show Mama how smart and good I got at school! I remained quiet as Mama continued to murmur for what felt like hours.
I held my hand over my cheek hoping that it would help with the swelling. Mama always said she didn't like me showing my mistakes on my face. She said it was embarrassing when people saw my bruises because it meant I was a bad girl.
Then, the chanting stopped. I shivered as the room became eerily quiet.
"M-ma-" I wasn't able to finish before I felt a feather-like caress on my cheek. Not the warm soft kind Abyss does, but a sharp, cold razor-like touch.
Inhaling quickly I strained my ears to understand my surroundings, the room was now almost entirely dark, save for the dull glow of the moon from the window.
And then it began.
