When the Devil noticed me, that's when the trouble started.
I worked at the local cemetery, digging holes and then filling them in all day, and while I worked, I thought of nothing else but music.
The Devil told me he had watched me play every night to his patrons, and he wanted to help me.
I told him I would not fail him again, but he didn't believe me.
The only audience that had ever brought me peace.
I kept trying to play until he broke all of my fingers one by one.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
