A sudden, overwhelming wave of fear cascaded over me as my eyes tried to focus in the dark. I looked all around me, desperate for somewhere to go. Anywhere. As long as it was away from the nightmare behind me. The moonlight was distant and barely reached the forest floor from where it shone above. All around me, I was surrounded by trees. So many trees. Why were there so many goddamn trees? Where were the people? Where was help? As I stood there, I heard something behind me. My breath caught in my throat. Looking back, I realized that there was a deer standing a few feet behind me, seemingly just as startled as I was at seeing it. We stared at one another for a few moments, two beings in sync with the moment and one another. Then, suddenly, the deer leaped away into the darkness. I watched it fade into darkness and wished I could follow it to safety. Observing my surroundings, a heavy weight began to build in my chest. Every moment I stood there, the closer the nightmare grew to me and the more the pressure in my chest increased. As if pulled by a string, I found my legs stumbling toward the left, where the deer had disappeared. I followed the only sign of hope I had seen in a long time. I didn't know how long it would be until my absence would be noticed. Perhaps it already had been. How long until He came after me? I felt a sickening twist in my stomach at the thought of Him. I pushed myself faster. - Poppy was trying to start her life over. She just wanted to forget her past. After a bad break up with her ex, she moved to Charlottesville in an attempt to move on. What she didn't expect was for her freedom to be taken away by Him. And He would be the one to take her away from the rest of the world. For she would break, one way or another.

Eliana is running from her past, and it's chasing her with a vengeance. When her loved ones are murdered before her by a cruel family, Eliana escapes to America and hasn't stopped running for six years. Now, they are getting closer. A dark twist of fate means that ancient bonds are revealed and Eliana is forced to question everything that she knows. *Excerpt* This time, I only made it about twenty feet before a large force slammed into me from behind, a tight hand wrapping around my mouth preventing me from crying out. Desperately, I reached my hands up to tug at the arm around my face as a second powerful arm snaked around my stomach, keeping me flush to the warm chest behind me and stopping me from falling from the impact of his collision. "Enough!" He growled close to my ear. Despite the strong arms and seething tone keeping me contained, I used all my might to struggle, squirming frantically to try and loosen his grip. My shouted pleas were muffled uselessly by the hand over my mouth and warm tears burned against my cold face as they streamed from my ballooned eyes. My legs kicked helplessly, and I must have got a hit in because I heard him curse under his breath before he easily but surprisingly gently, kicked my legs from under me and forced me into a kneeling position on the forest floor, lowering himself afterwards to match my stance. With this new position he could release the arm around my waist without allowing me any wriggle room and I felt him reach behind him to grab something. Shit. My breathing picked up and my cries increased in volume. Was he just going to kill me like this? In the middle of nowhere? Trigger Warning: This is a dark romance. Themes of abuse, death, violence and all around some pretty toxic behaviour.
