Elethia Matiss doesn't live a normal life. Or at least, her boyfriend doesn't. Pierce Clarkson, better known as the vigilante Dawn, is the self appointed protector of Graystone City. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, Pierce knows he would have died in the line of duty long ago without his coffee loving girlfriend. Elethia knows it too, but she's content to let him believe that he is the best at what he does. She knows despite his bruises and broken bones, he'll do anything to protect those he loves, especially her. That is until his anything isn't enough to protect Elethia from the horrors of his life. Until his anything can't prevent her from the demons, torture, and death that shrouds his life. And now will shroud hers. ~~~ This story was originally called, "Dusky Demons", then "Bleeding Shadow".
