Midnight Bride
It’s the moment earlier when my body shut down like a puppet with its strings cut.
It was him.
He is the reason I fell asleep.
“Sleep, wolf princess,” he croons, his voice a velvet blade that slices through the last of my resistance. “You have big things to dream about.”
He lifts a hand, fingers moving in deliberate, fluid gestures as he begins to chant. The words are unfamiliar, old, layered with dark magic. Each syllable vibrates through the air like the toll of a death bell, echoing inside my skull.
No. No, I won’t fall. I clench my fists, dig my nails into my palms until I feel skin break, but even pain can't anchor me. My body tilts forward slightly, balance slipping away.
