First Light

(Unedited)

" 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 was to see her shine" - Erebus

"Gianna." He says harshly. Oh no I made him mad. I slowly detach myself from him and sit up, straddling his lap.

This feels very... close. Do friends do this? Is it normal? I want to look around the room to see if others are sitting on their friend's lap but I'm too scared of their gazes to do so." - Gianna

~~~~~~~~~~~

A lost lonely girl is hated by all including her mother, who out of "love", uses the small girls naivety to manipulate her into believing all the horrible words her mother tells her. When the mother snaps, the girl is sent away to a school where she'll understand more about her magic.

Erebus, a forgotten god, didn't intend to become invested in understanding the new small girl that everyone seems to despise. However, he finds himself watching her from the shadows, feeling things he hasn't felt in millennials.

Will the girl be too naive to understand the tall boys liking towards her, will she allow her mothers teachings to get in the way of something that could be beautiful.
