Her Lilith (girlxgirl) [COMPLETED]
girlxgirl ♡ "Enemies?" I stepped closer, watching panic slowly replace the anger in her beautiful green eyes. She backed away, and I couldn't help the smirk curling on my lips. She looked like a mouse trying to escape, until her back hit the wall. Her eyes darted in panic, searching for a way out. I slammed my hand beside her, trapping her there. She swallowed hard, her bratty attitude slipping away all of a sudden. "Come on, brat," I leaned in, close enough to feel her breath hitch. I whispered, "I thought we were more than that." ♡ Nyx Velasco. A walking storm with a past she tried to bury in flames-loud, wild, reckless. She wasn't supposed to stay long. She was just supposed to be a pain in the ass. And yet... she's becoming something more. Arya Xia Garcia. Cold. Guarded. Hollow on the inside. She's used to pretending, to survive. Then Nyx came crashing in, dragging chaos behind her like a second skin-and Arya? She hated it... or at least, that's what she kept telling herself. But there's something about the chaos. Maybe it feels good. Maybe it feels like home. In a world where eyes judge and voices cut deep, where pain is easier to carry alone- Will they fight back against fate? Or fall into the same misery they've always tried to outrun? ♡ STARTED: March 26, 2025 FINISHED: December 28, 2025Complete
