Verena knew things about people. She was just good at reading them- paying attention to them. She knew them better than they knew themselves.
Sometimes it seemed like no one would ever know her they way she knew everyone around her.
Coming to this misty, forest thick town was supposed to be something of a new start for her. It felt like it when she looked around the small plaza that was home to her new studio.
She saw many layered, guarded people with beautiful faces and thought that maybe one day she could be something other than unseen for once.
Especially as she passed a tall pale man who curtly nodded his acknowledgment to her and then quickly looked away. It was just a feeling, but it seemed like a good omen in a strange way, that he might've actually seen her for that split second.
.-*-.
He caught a scent on the breeze as he passed through the archway of the tiny plaza- home to a few restaurants, a smoke shop, and an older shut down shop.
That shop was being unlocked by the source of the scent.

A girl with long curling black hair down to her waist looked over her shoulder at Vander and gave a polite half smile before having to push the door open and go inside.

Vander sped up his gait and rounded the corner of the plaza- almost flinging himself into an ally way to slump against a wall. He was hyperventilating and gripping his sides.
𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣- 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣...
He would not pick up those...habits again.
𝙐𝙣𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨-
He could be unseen.

Above the Law
--First place winner of the 2017 Mist Awards-- Every 107 seconds another victim is sexually assaulted. Sixty-eight percent of sexual assaults go unreported. Ninety-eight percent of rapists will never see the inside of a cell. Eden Summers was just another statistic. Too afraid to speak out, too afraid to seek justice. But justice comes in many forms. Justice as unethical as the crime itself, justice the city's vigilante gladly delivers with a blade through the offender's chest and an offer Eden can't refuse. While the masked man is determined to serve justice where justice is due, Detective Parker Yates is just as determined to keep Eden safe from harm's way and as close to him as he can. But as feelings between Eden and Yates become all too real--too dangerous--Eden has to choose where her loyalties lie; with the man behind the mask or the man behind the badge. But Eden can't deny it; the influence of the masked man is intoxicating. Roles reverse. Predators become prey. The prey becomes predatory. Yet, Eden isn't sure she's willing to play her part in the man's twisted game.Complete
