“All you need is faith, trust, and pixie dust…”

It was a sentence, whispered with such sweet sincerity, that pulled the unassuming into a web they could never escape. Promises of eternal youth, endless adventures, and a land that you could forget all your troubles in, being the final nail in the proverbial coffin. As it was never explained what you had to give up in return; everything that you’d sacrifice in order to achieve such wonderment.

Your life…

The memories of a gentle touch across your forehead, followed by the sound of soft laughter that never failed to fill you with warmth, was all that you could recall of your life before Never Land. Before you had been deceived into believing that you could have better. Never knowing that you were about to leave better behind…

Faith had been lost long ago when you had begun to miss your mother and wanted to go back; wanted to be in her warm embrace once more. Trust had followed quickly after when you had been shunned for expressing such wishes.

All that remained was pixie dust— in a small vial wedged somewhere within your room— but even that would never be able to take you to where you wished to be. A place, a time, that you’d never be able to go to again.

Your old name— the one your mother had given you— was only spoken by a select few but you were known far and wide by another name. A name that had been given to you by the very man that had brought you here.

Captain Hook.

Play as Captain Hook as you try to come to terms with everything that has happened in your life. Will you be able to get to the bottom of what happened to Peter Pan? Or will everything forever be shrouded in darkness?

Customizable MC: name, gender, sexuality, appearance, and a smattering of vices/hobbies that could crop up. (Note: You haven’t lost your hand. Yet.)

Befriend the Crocodile that always seems to be following you around.

Romance 1 of 5 options from Peter Pan himself to your first mate.

Will you be able to figure out a way to stop Peter before more children suffer the same fate you have?

Don’t let the beauty of Never Land fool you… it’s a dark and dangerous place that one needs to have a sharp mind to navigate.

Remember to trust yourself and your instincts but don’t forget the people who wish to help you. They may be the ones to save your life…

Peter Pan [M] - The Lost Boy

Appears 28 [6’2” | Dark Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]

With a devilish smile, mischievous eyes, and an unpredictable personality, Peter has never been one to truly fit into one box. Especially not with how long you’ve known him. Of course, you also remember when the dark brown of his eyes were filled with warmth and care. Instead of how they are now where they almost seem devoid of everything that made Peter… Peter. Maybe, with your help, you’ll be able to help him find his way back.

FC: Jeremy Sumpter

Tinkerbell [F] - The Mystery

Appears 26 [5’8” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

You’ve never known that much about Tinkerbell— besides the fact that she had a fiery temper— but you also try to forget the majority of the path that has led you to where you are now. Having never truly been close with Tink it’s understandable why you’re surprised to find her surrounded by your crew; completely willing to hand herself over if it meant she could speak with you. Will you be able to discover the secrets that she keeps? Will you find something more along the way?

FC: Elizabeth Olsen

Samuel/Samantha [M/F] - The First Mate

Appears 33 [5’5” | Hazel Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

The one person in Never Land that you can confidently say that you trust. Your First Mate, or Smee as the majority of your crew calls them, is a gentle soul that tries their best to please you no matter what. It’s a fact that you’ve tried to change but their unwavering devotion to you hasn’t shifted their stance in the slightest. With a kind smile, gentle heart, and compassionate nature, it’s no wonder that Smee is one of the most crucial members of your crew. You know that you’d be lost without them.

FC: Miguel Iglesias || Victoria Justice

Adriel/Ariel [M/F] - The Connection

Appears 29 [5’11” | Emerald Green Eyes | Ash Brown Hair]

One of the few people within Never Land that’s connected to your past that you still actively try to speak to. With a stoic exterior, hiding a heart of gold beneath, they’ve always made your time in Mermaid Cove much easier by scaring the rest of the mermaids away when you’ve needed to speak to them; especially since you know that Peter tends to frequent the place too. Now, with the addition of legs, they’ve sworn to help you figure out what’s poisoned not only Never Land but it’s supposed Guardian as well.

FC: Mitchell Wick || Angelina Jolie/Megan Fox

Gray/Grace [M/F] - The Newest Addition

27 [5’10” | Light Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

The most recent newcomer to Never Land that is unlike any of the ones you’ve seen before; with the simple fact that they’re a full fledged adult. Only used to dealing with possibly hysterical kids you don’t truly know how to deal with an hysterical adult. Especially when they keep spouting things about Disney and this having to be a dream. Fortunately, whenever they’re not completely freaking out they have a wonderful personality; a teasing tone, compassionate eyes, and a dazzling smile. Will you be able to show them that the stories they’ve (somehow) heard aren’t true? That you’re not the villain.

You’re the star of one of the biggest TV Shows to grace the pixelated screens of the world in a long time. A series set in your own world but an alternate one; so familiar yet alien.

Your character is one of the Afflicted; beings that have visions of what is to come, all muddled during sleep, only the sense of foreboding remaining. Leaving scattered memories and a sickening feeling in your gut. It was a show, the concept and chemistry between the cast, that pulled people in. Launching you into the stratosphere of stardom.

It was only after a small accident on set that everything started to change. You started getting them— seeing them…. visions. But not just any visions.

You were actually in your characters place; transported into the city of Elasora. Where reality and fiction starts to blur.

Will you be able to pull yourself out of your waking dream? Before it becomes your living nightmare?

Nicholas/Natasha Lewis, 31 (M/F)

-The Love Interest-

The onscreen love interest of your character with unparalleled chemistry. Your characters have livened up the show; becoming its very heart. The only problem? They can’t stand you when the cameras aren’t rolling. Something that becomes that much harder to deal with after every dream ends. How can you look them in the eyes that are filled with nothing when just hours before they had been filled with complete adoration?

(Also known as Leon/Lena Stark.)

Russian // Irish // British

Emmett/Emily Campbell, 29 (M/F)

-The Best Friend-

Your onscreen and offscreen best friend. They have stuck by you through the trying tribulations of when your career was first starting.

You have high hopes that this will be one of those times.

(Also known as Shawn/Sarah O’Hara.)

Spanish // Italian // American

Oliver/Olivia Allen, 27 (M/F)

-The PA-

One of the newest additions to the set that offers a breath of fresh air. Having been a long time fan before signing onto be apart of the crew; maybe they’ll offer you an insight you haven’t thought of before. Giving you a semblance of an idea, even if it’s just a fan theory, on why this is happening to you.

American // South African

Amelia Harris, 35 (F)

-The Manager-

A woman that might have a serious migraine, or worse, if you don’t start getting your act together. While she may appear cold to some you know that Amelia has your best interests at heart. You were her first, and most treasured, client. You just hope that when you need her most she’ll pull through. Like she always has in the past for you.

German // British // American

Kaidan Zhang, 33 (M)

-The Writer-

Korean // American

Additional Characters

Felix/Fleur D’aureville, 30 (M/F)

-The Villain-

The antagonist of the show that is as deadly as they are beautiful. With a sinister smile and a dark past they’ve fostered quite the following; especially when in comparison to the sunny person that plays them. Someone who would give you the shirt off their back if you asked. A fact that makes it that much harder to connect who you’re used to dealing with, with the character that they play. A character that has become all too real. May become an RO later on.

(Also known as Aiden/Amara Heroux.)

French // Scottish

Helena Martin, 49 (F)

-The Producer-

One of the Executive Producers, who also happens to be your mother, and always makes sure that everything is in order. While she may appear to be aloof on the outside she can be quite caring; especially when in regards to you. Though she’s never been one to give you anything in your career. You had to work for your lead role in the show. Something you’d forever be grateful for.

Angelina Callaway, 40 (F)

-The Director-

One of the best directors in the game; your show was lucky to be able to get her. And while you’ve never been the closest with her, you can tell that she cares greatly for every single person on the set. Unless someone is shirking their duties (then it’d be best to get out of sight). Maybe she’ll offer some guidance in your time of need. Even if she doesn’t know what exactly she’s helping you with.

German // British

Atlas and Benji, 5 and 3 (M)

-The Protection-

The resident guard dogs on set, always there because of your head-of-security, that offer companionship to all those that need it; as long as they get belly rubs out of the deal. You’ll always be safe with these two watching your back.

“So…

It’s a cult?”

“- it’s not a cult”

Devil of a Time is a low fantasy Lovecraftian interactive fiction. You play as a well respected official in your not-a-cult charged with protecting the younger members all while completing your final year of your university degree.

Let’s just hope that no secrets stray to further ears.

The Threads That Bind is a free to play interactive novel set within the magical world of Harry Potter. Wherein you play as a wizard that’s been transported back into the Founder’s Era of Hogwarts. Will you find your way back? Will you want to?

The Magical World is filled a variety of creatures— from fire breathing dragons to shrieking plants— that vary in terms of deadliness. The creatures, however, aren’t the only things one needed to watch out for; other magic users, the one’s with an affinity to the Dark Arts, still roamed even after years of Voldemort’s defeat.

That’s where you come in.

You’re an Auror— a police officer for the Magical World— that makes sure the innocent people of Diagon Alley, and beyond, are kept safe.

It was during one of these chases— having been tipped off about a suspected straggler from Voldemort’s Army— that your life changed forever.

Having crashed through one of the seedier stores within Knockturn Alley, you were blinded by a flash of light before appearing in a world that seemed like your own but was completely different all the same.

Not only were you stuck in the past— centuries before you were ever borne— you had no idea how to return to the present.

Nor did the people who came with you…

This story will be rated 18+ later on for profanity, alcohol consumption, violence, sexual themes, and mentions of torture.

Customizable MC: name, nickname, appearance, magical leanings, sexuality, gender, and various other things.

Choose your Patronus (when it crops up)!

Choose which House you had been apart of! Allowing for amusing dialogue with the Founder’s (especially the one that you choose to romance).

Romance 1 of 6 options that will offer unique experiences for your MCs.

Find your way through a world that is so familiar but so alien all the same.

Discover Hogwarts as you’ve never seen it and interact with a whole new cast of characters.

Play Quidditch— possibly with one of the Founder’s— and learn how the game might have changed.

Figure out a way to get back to your own time— if you even want to— while trying not to hurt one of the people who had come with you.

Interact with a variety of magical creatures.

The Founder of House Gryffindor; Godric/Godria is exactly as the stories have spoken of. Standing tall and proud, auburn hair falling in gentle waves, as their green eyes observe their surroundings. Their famous sword always on their hip as they traverse through the halls of Hogwarts.

Will you tame their lion heart? Or will you get nothing but heartache for your troubles?

The Founder of House Hufflepuff; Helge/Helga is a kind hearted being that wants nothing but the best for their students— and for the other Founders to stop bickering— with encouraging words always leaving their lips. Dark brown hair, paired with hazel eyes, giving off a gentle aura that they always try to maintain.

Will you show them the loyalty they’ve always given others? Or will you leave them like the many before?

The Founder of House Ravenclaw; Rowen/Rowena is an intelligent individual that always has an air of detachment surrounding them. Raven black hair, crystalline blue eyes, and fair skin, gives them an intimidating stature that they don’t dispute. However, it’s with a select few of their students that they let their guard down. Letting their true identity to appear. Will you ever become lucky enough to see it?

Will you be able to temper their talons? Or will you only end up getting cut?

The Founder of House Slytherin; Salazar/Salazara is not what you were expecting when you met them for the first time. Pale blonde hair, slate grey eyes, and alabaster skin were not things you’ve ever heard them be described with. Their cunning mind, quick wit, and silver tongue doing well to detract from peoples attention on their looks.

Will you be able to withstand their venom? Or will you fall prey to it like many before you?

Your partner— one of the people that had been unfortunately pulled with you— for over two years. They may not have the most practical ideas but they’re more likely to work than one may think. Their dark brown eyes filled with nothing but warmth towards you— pairing well with their onyx black curls and medium brown skin tone— as they’ve often mentioned they could have never asked for a better partner.

Will you become more? Or is that all you will ever be?

The other person that was pulled along— unfortunately for you— who also happens to be the very person you had been chasing. One of the last stragglers of Voldemort’s army; Kieran/Kiera’s dark blue eyes are sharper than the simple lackeys you’ve met before. Paired with their flirtatious smile and quips, you know you have quite the time ahead of you. Especially now that you don’t technically have the jurisdiction to detain them.

Will you find out what hides underneath the mark on their arm? Or will they forever remain an enigma to you?

Haunted by trauma and the ghosts of your family, you were raised alone by your Aunt Lucia in the south of England. Your family all died in a tragic accident when you were young, and you were there to witness every gruesome detail. Now, as a young 20-something, you claim not to remember their deaths, or that experience at all. Because you don't. Right?

Memories flash by you when you sleep, nightmares choking you in the depths of darkness, bloody details you'd wiped from your mind. But the night is never as bad as the day, where visions and sounds that no one else can see or hear plague your waking hours. Are you haunted or just unwell? Only time will tell.

Now? You're a paranormal investigator with your two closest friends. Known on the internet as the Supernatural Sleuths, you have an up-and-coming Youtube channel and travel the world in search of paranormal mysteries, hoping to one day prove that this world isn't all it appears to be.

One day, your friend Marzena finds the latest story for you to follow. A woman has been found murdered on the outskirts of a forest in a secluded part of Ireland. No one knows who she is, and nobody has claimed the body. The closest village feigns ignorant. Apparently, this woman is a ghost. Worse still, there are reports that the woman was covered in occult markings and tattoos.

Will you get to the bottom of this mysterious woman's death? Will you uncover the terrifying secrets hidden within the village of Killoch? Or will your own demons consume you before you get the chance?

ROMANCE OPTIONS

RO Visuals (Picrew)

Alfie Redding [ 16 — M — Bisexual ] — as a bookworm with a kind smile and a terrifying glare, Alfie is the only person you 'know' before attending Green Valley, having been in the same secondary school. Not that the two of you were particularly close but perhaps his bright mind and striking wit is just what you need to solve this mystery.

[ English ] tall and willowy, extremely pale skin that burns easily, short bright ginger hair (2b) in a perpetual state of bed-head, olive green round eyes, aquiline nose with a high nose bridge and a straight base, lots of freckles, freckles everywhere in varying shapes and tones — they tend to come out more after he's been in the sun... as long as he's not burnt a bright red, thin lips but a wide mouth — a small pink scar on the left side of his top lip, deep dimples when he uses his mouth to form expressions. [ 6'0" ]

JJ Pendleton [ 17 — M — Pansexual ] — JJ is the one most people see either running away from a crime prank scene or the one sat outside the headmaster's office with a grin the size of England. He's funny, intriguing and easy to befriend however, he's hard to stick with, and often leads to trouble. Maybe that's why he's the one who most people are betting their money on, whether it's to disappear or prevail though, who knows?

[ Irish ] tall, athletic build, rosy warm tanned skin tone, bubblegum pink dyed hair (1c) — naturally dark brown — that's longer on top than on the sides and is usually styled up and out of his face, cat-like cornflower blue almond shaped eyes covered with large round glasses — currently sporting a pair of silver frames, a light smattering of freckles over the bridge of his romanesque nose with a bump on the bridge — it helps keep his glasses on his face, bow-shaped lips with a thinner upper lip — if you look closely there is a scar where a medusa piercing has been healed over, shallow dimples that only appear when he grins widely. [ 6'1" ]

Petra Molina [ 17 — F — Pansexual ] — as one of the only Non-British people at Green Valley, Petra brings a lot of intrigue and gossip wherever she goes — both the positive and negative kinds due to her appearance and life-style. Outwardly she never seems fazes by the whispers gathering in her shadow and she tends to keep to herself but she's a deeply passionate person as well as a loyal and protective friend, one that builds an almost perfect support system no matter what you'll go through.

[ Polish-Canadian ] small, petite frame — not much muscle and not a lot of fat, cool beige skin tone — often seen with rosy cheeks despite the weather of what she's feeling and wearing the colour black as clothing or makeup doesn't seem to wash her out paler, waist-length chestnut brown wavy hair (2c) that is usually left down and wind-swept in style with a choppy fringe that falls in a middle parting, down-turned hooded eyes, small snub nose, narrow lips with a straight cupid's bow and undefined philtrum, a singular beauty spot of the right side of her chin. [ 4'11" ]

Dakota Green [ 16 — F/M — Demi-sexual ] — the person who's friendly with everyone but the one no-one seems to know anything about. Not much is known about Dakota except the vast rumours that surround them and their family name — the biggest one being that the Green family are one of the founding families of the Green Valley Academic Chain. They have power and connections and might just be the key to figuring out the darker secrets surrounding Casadia Hall, you'd just have to get close enough for their walls to crumble.

[ Black-British ] average build — not particularly thin but not plump either, rich brown skin tone, shoulder-length white freshly bleach-dyed afro (4b) usually styled in two low puffs (F) or in a natural afro (M), black thin and shaped eyebrows, dark brown downturned protruding eyes — a faint scar running through the left eye the colour is so similar to their skin tone most people don't notice it at a glance, flat bridged nubian shaped nose, heart shaped full lips — upper lip thins out when they smile, a small and hard to differentiate beauty spot under the left side of their lips. [ 5'5" / 5'8" ]

Echo Edwards [ 16 — F/M/NB — Bisexual ] — Echo is the person most people wish they could be: the one most people are too scared to be. They're cool, calm and collected which a natural charm and a never-ending well of sage and though-provoking advice. They're the type of person people can't seem to insult, no matter how hard they try and the type of person who's smooth words could potentially get them, you and your house out of the worst types of trouble. However, is this worth their time? Or would their effort be better placed on keeping it out of mystery?

[ Thai-Welsh ] "attractively androgynous" average build — no particular curvature, fat or muscle however they have more muscle than they let on, rich sienna skin tone, dark dyed purple-almost-black (naturally dark brown) chest-length hair (1b) often styled tied up in some way — most commonly tied up in twin twisted space buns, dark brown straight medium-thick eyebrows, wide set monolided hazel-brown eyes, singular beauty mark directly under the outside corner of their right eye, short button nose with a stud piercing on right side, oval shaped lips with a fuller upper lip, straight shaped cupid's bow and defined vermillion boarder, one dimple on the left side that only appears when they smile. [ 5'7" ]

Lyric Bronwin [ 16 — NB — Non-Sex-Repulsed-Asexual, Pan-romantic ] — as someone who has never liked to be kept caged, Lyric lets their rebellious nature shine through in everything they do. They're outspoke and quick to defend what they believe in — due to excellent debate skills and some tough times in a couple of foster homes. They're good at finding loopholes and giving a change of perspective, which is especially useful when you start to get tunnel-visioned and stuck on a problem. It's hard to say no to them but that doesn't mean they're easy to like — what would be for the best?

[ Japanese ] lithe "unathletic with a fast metabolism" build, fair fawn skin tone, jaw length jet black hair (1a) often styles outwards under a beanie making their hair look shorter, thick yet shaped black eyebrows, double-lidded chocolate brown upturned asian eyes, narrow, straight nose with a high nose bridge — hooped septum piercing, small mouth and small lips, short and well-maintained thin moustache — to "confuse the prejudiced". [ 5'9" ]

OTHER CHARACTERS OF IMPORTANCE

Melinda Khan, Head Master [ 47 — F ] — the current headmaster of Green Valley Connection and Boarding School, London. Her smile is serene when it isn't sharp and her presence is calm and kind when it isn't rigid and intimidating. It's hard to get a read on her and it's even harder to keep secrets from her. They only questions left are — what does she know and who's side is she on?

Geoffrey Davies, Grounds Keeper [ 52 — M ] — stand-offish and not really in a good way, he's quiet and broody and isn't afraid of 'powerful people'. He's quite the mystery as the only thing people really know of the man is his love for gardening, unfortunately he's terrifying to talk to with a pair of hedge sheers in his hands.

Noaki Bushby, House Keeper [ 39 — NB ] — in charge of looking after the house rather than its inhabitants, Naoki is as kind as they are awkward and it's blatantly obvious they're much more suited to house keeper. They have background in architecture and home decoration making them incredibly suited to the job but they're kind of scary when you can hear them coming.

Archie Novak, House Mother [ 40 — M ] — takes on the role of 'mother' with pride. He has a degree in psychology and his previous job was working in a day care facility. Archie is loving and nurturing and is a warm and welcoming presence at Casadia Hall.

Mister, House Cat [ 3+ — M ] — Ragdoll, white body with a fully chocolate brown face. No one can recall where he came from, just that his name is Mister and he's been at Casadia Hall for three years.

UPDATES:

hi! welcome to green valley. you may have seen 'green valley' before in regards to trick serve, my other interactive fiction — so don't worry about plagiarism. this is because these two books will be in the same universe! green valley is the name of the chain of academic locations i made up! in this if you'll be playing an MC in their teens in a boarding school. (there won't be any connection to trick serve).

i will be focusing on this if first, think of this as a tool for me to learn coding through doing it and not getting super stuck or annoyed - it won't be as complicated.

—bonnie.

The higher you rise, the harder you fall…

It was saying that you were familiar with— an old friend just like the bitter taste on your tongue— as you stare out at the city that used to revere you. The city that used to look towards you in their time of need.

You were their champion….

Their hero…

Now you’re nothing but a husk— a shell— of what used to be.

Their cheers turned to screams as your world crumbled around you; by your own hand. Friends and family turning to enemies and enemies turning to something else.

All because of the saccharine sweet voice telling you that this was the only way to save them. To beat the evil that was coming you had to become something other than yourself.

But could you truly tell where the fabrication ended and the real you began?

Or have you lost everything after all…

Travel the Path of Redemption or fall to the Path of Corruption; each offering unique experiences for your MCs. Will you follow your own conscience after so long? Or will you succumb to the whispered wishes within your mind?

Unite with your old hero team— the one that you helped create— as you try to prepare the city, as well as the world, for a creature that won’t allow survivors.

Speak with your relatively normal roommate— the one that has been pulled into all of this— as you try to wrangle the new direction your life has taken.

Customizable MC: name, nickname, superhero name, gender, sexuality, appearance, superhero costume, and various other things that will appear as the story progresses.

Reconcile with long lost friends, rekindle lost familial ties, or destroy them all completely.

Romance 1 of 5 possible choices that will offer unique experiences to your MCs; one specific RO being available for only a select few MCs.

RO POVs included within the story.

Remember: living is not just about surviving.

Lucian/Lucia Knight - The Mirage [M/F]

32 [6’2” | Emerald Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

“You think that sorry is going to fix everything? You destroyed everything that we built together! Everything that meant something to us you turned to rubble. Sorry isn’t going to fix this. Not this time.”

You hadn’t expected a warm welcome upon seeing them again— after all the divorce was still fresh on both of your hearts— but their detached tone, emotionless stare, and mirthless laugh, struck you harder than you thought. You were so used to playful quips, gentle humming before they swooped in for a kiss, and now it was like you were looking at a stranger. You couldn’t imagine how they must feel looking at you now too.

Isaac/Isabella Hayes - The Blaze [M/F]

31 [5’8” | Hazel Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

“I used to think that I knew you but that all changed the day you turned your backs on us. You don’t do that to people you care for and you definitely don’t do that to family. I-I just don’t know what happened to make you do what you did.”

Your best friend— for as long as you could remember— that has never looked at you with anything but laughter in their gaze; even when you were going through your worst fights. Judgement. Hatred. Would have been better than the look they’re giving you now; confusion. They’ve never questioned you before— always believing in you completely— but now they can’t do anything else.

Kieran/Kiera Prince - The Hunter [M/F]

31 [6’5” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

“I’m surprised to see you again, sweet thing, I didn’t think you’d ever come back to my neck of the woods. What is it now? Do you want to arrest lil’ ole me? No, you wouldn’t have that look on your face if you did. You need my help don’t you? Come now, sweet thing, spit it out, I want to hear you say you need me.”

A villain that you’ve met multiple times within your years of crime-fighting. Sharp intelligence being hidden behind cocky smiles and flirtatious quips— that can be quite as disarming as the weapons they carry— but one must never lose their senses around them: it may be the last thing you ever do. You may not like calling on them for help but you need everyone you can get in this fight.

Harry/Harley Adler - The Roommate [M/F]

30 [5’5” | Light Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]

“Do you think you could have told me you did all of this before we signed a lease? What am I supposed to do if you die and the lease isn’t fulfilled yet? So, I guess what I’m saying is, don’t die, ‘kay? It wouldn’t be good for anyone.”

A semblance of normalcy in your otherwise hectic life— with a soap opera addiction and cookie obsession— they’ve been one of the only bright spots you’ve able to look forward to. Especially since they seem to have no idea of who you used to be; small blessings, you suppose. Their horrible puns, sarcastic retorts, and caffeine fueled rants, are something that you’ve cherished greatly.

???? - The Voice [M/F]

“I see everything, dearest one, I promise you salvation if you heed my words. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. Nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you.”

The voice you’ve been hearing within your head for the last two years. You don’t know where it’s from— or why it appeared— but you get the feeling that there is more to it than you simply hearing things. Visions— or nightmares— coming to you while you sleep adding to that conclusion; a gentle touch turning fiery as you awaken with a gasp. You just don’t know what to do with the burning sensation they awaken within you.
