To Love a Monster

He is a dark abyss—it should not be so tempting to fall in. *** To be a Lock is to be a conductor between ordinary and abnormal, between reason and insanity. It is to be a keyhole that lets one peek into the Great Beyond, and a part of the door that opens the world. It is to be sought, and hunted, and seduced by all who crave power. The magic is unnatural to this world, yet humans still fly towards arcane knowledge like moths towards a flame. Creatures of nightmares prowl just beyond the veil that protects the fragile minds of mortals, taking their pick of helpless prey. Maya Alvarez has no reasons to think she’s different from other people. No reasons, except for a single incident in her past. All she wants is to write her books and one day, maybe, become famous. Until her best friend goes missing, and Maya has no choice but to admit—she’s not insane. The world is. The pair of eyes darker than a starless night falls on Maya, and shadows surround her to never let go.

Chasing tails

This was like trying to hit a dozen birds with one stone. One stone, the name of which was Zeke. And all the "birds" moved in different directions, getting farther and farther away from each other with every minute.

After the first hour, and the first couple of killed Ascended, I suggested staying behind somewhere to not slow him down. Zeke refused.

"What if I have to move too far to keep connected with you? What if the hunt leaves me too distracted to protect you from danger? No, my Maya, you won't leave my sight. My physical sight."

And this was it. At least, I didn't have to do anything to help besides simply being. As Zeke explained, the mere presence of a Lock like me strengthened magical beings like him.
