The Eyes Of Greystone
They came to write a story. Sylvermere had other plans. When five young journalists arrive in the forgotten town of Sylvermere to investigate the ruins of Castle Greystone, they expect whispers, legends, and eerie locals. What they find is a house that breathes, weeps, and watches. Its halls remember everything... especially them. "If I met you in another life, I would've written you poems instead of warnings. I would've kissed you in the rain instead of vanishing into it. But time hasn't been kind to me. I've lived in silence so long, even my heart forgot how to beat. Yet you..." he paused, voice low, breaking like old glass... "You made the air feel warm again. You smiled at the cold and touched it like it wouldn't hurt you. Maybe that's why I wanted to protect you. Maybe that's why I fear what loving you might cost." Aaron Greystone, the castle's only heir, lives among silent maids and unanswered questions. Cold. Beautiful. Untouched by time. Drawn to HER, he warns her to leave before it's too late. His gaze held hers, one eye storm-grey, the other night-black... timeless, tragic, eternal. But the house has waited too long. And it doesn't like letting go. "Even if I don't belong in your world, my heart has already chosen you. And some loves," he whispered, "don't need life to live." These are the Eyes of Greystone. ── ᯓᡣ𐭩 ── Started: , 2025, . Ended:Compleet
