Torin-Shattered: Way Down We Go (Part 1) Chapter 106
Even with the safe house secured and Torin at my side, the city outside never felt less like a threat. Each sound, a car door, the distant bark of a dog, the hum of traffic, set my nerves on edge. Lucien’s presence was invisible, yet it pressed on my skin like heat from a flame I couldn’t see.Torin noticed my tension immediately, his hand finding mine and squeezing it in silent reassurance. “Hey,” he murmured, voice low, almost a growl, “we’ve prepped for this. Focus on what we can control, not what we can’t.”I nodded, leaning against him, the steady beat of his heart beneath my ear providing a temporary calm. I had to trust him; I had to trust us. And yet, every fiber of my being screamed that Lucien was waiting, watching, calculating.Torin flipped open his laptop again, scanning the screens with the precision I had come to rely on. “I’ve checked the traffic cams, the usual patrol routes, even the rooftops in this block,” he muttered. “Nothing yet. But that means he’s patient. He’

The house felt smaller the moment we walked in, the walls pressing in with the weight of anticipation. Even with Torin beside me, every shadow seemed suspect, every creak of the floor a warning. I couldn’t stop glancing over my shoulder, imagining Lucien’s cold, calculating gaze somewhere just beyond our line of sight.Torin dropped his bag by the couch, scanning the room with the same predatory alertness I had grown used to. “We need to go over everything we know,” he said, voice low, controlled. “Patterns, movements, weaknesses. He’s patient, Marlowe. Patient and methodical.”I sank onto the couch, hands clasped tightly in my lap, the knots of fear and adrenaline still coiling in my stomach. “And if we miss something?” I asked, voice barely above a whisper. “If he’s… always one step ahead?”He crouched beside me, gripping my shoulders with a firm, grounding touch. “Then we find the steps he didn’t anticipate. He can be clever, but he’s never faced us like this. Never together.”I sw

The city felt different that evening, darker somehow, even with streetlights flickering along the sidewalks. I moved cautiously, keeping my hands in my pockets and my head low, every instinct alert. Lucien was out there, somewhere, and I could feel the weight of his obsession pressing in, like a shadow I couldn’t shake.Torin followed a step behind, his gaze scanning every alley, every doorway. His presence was both comforting and grounding, a reminder that I wasn’t alone, yet it made my own heartbeat echo even louder in my chest. I could sense his tension radiating off him, a low hum of readiness that mirrored my own fear.“He’s close,” I whispered, voice barely audible over the faint hum of traffic.Torin’s jaw tightened. “I know,” he said, his tone sharp. “I can feel it too. That’s why we stick to the plan. Stay visible, stay unpredictable. We make him think he can’t predict our moves.”I nodded, gripping the strap of my bag tightly. Every instinct screamed at me that Lucien was wa

The place felt almost too quiet, a deceptive calm that pressed against my chest like a physical weight. I paced the small living room, notebook clutched in one hand, pen in the other, reviewing every note, every plan we had discussed. Lucien was out there, and the idea that he could be anywhere, watching, listening, made my skin prickle. Every sound, every shadow seemed to carry a threat.Torin was perched on the couch, arms draped over the backrest, watching me. His expression was a mixture of irritation and concern. “You’re going to wear yourself out if you keep pacing like that,” he said, voice low and even.“I can’t help it,” I admitted, stopping for a moment to glance at him. “I keep thinking about the last message. He’s escalating, Torin. He’s testing us, seeing what we’ll do.”He pushed off the couch, moving to stand beside me. “Then we stay one step ahead. That’s all we can do.” His hand brushed mine briefly as he reached for the notebook, and I felt a flicker of reassurance.

The city outside was quiet but alive, each faint sound amplified in the walls of the house. I sat cross-legged on the floor, notebook open on my lap, scribbling every thought, every plan, every possible scenario I could imagine. My fingers trembled slightly, not from fear, but from anticipation, from the adrenaline that refused to leave me. Lucien was out there, somewhere, and the tension in the air felt almost suffocating.Torin leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, watching me like a hawk. “Still overthinking,” he said, his tone teasing but sharp, a razor edge beneath the warmth.“I have to,” I muttered, not looking up. “We can’t leave anything to chance. He’s smart, patient, and he’s watching. I need to anticipate him before he anticipates me.”He pushed off the doorframe, moving closer, and crouched beside me. “Planning is good. Obsessing isn’t.” His hand hovered near mine, a silent offer of grounding. I reached for it instinctively, letting his fingers curl around mine. The s
Torin-Shattered: Way Down We Go (Part 1) Chapter 101
The city felt off today, the streets alive with a hum that set my nerves on edge. I perched on the window sill of the safe house, knees pulled close, scanning the world below like some kind of nervous sentinel. Each car that passed made me flinch, each shadow that moved across the alleyways felt like Lucien’s long fingers stretching toward me.Torin moved behind me silently, the scrape of his boots on the floor a subtle reminder that I wasn’t entirely alone. He crouched beside me, hands resting on the sill near mine. “You’re tense,” he murmured. “I can feel it in your shoulders.”“I can’t help it,” I admitted, voice tight, low. “He’s out there, somewhere. He could be anywhere. And I don’t even know what he’s planning.”Torin’s jaw tightened, and I saw the storm behind his eyes, the same storm I’d come to trust and fear in equal measure. “Lucien is patient,” he said quietly. “Calculating. He waits for cracks, moments of weakness. We can’t give him any. Not a single one.”I swallowed, t
