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.

Twisting darkness

I wait for his reaction with bated breath. Is he surprised? Amused? But Zeke's face is blank, and his eyes express nothing I can read. I can hear the beats of my heart echoing in my ribcage.

Then, ever so slowly, Zeke raises his palms to my cheeks. I can stare, mesmerized by his touch, as he leans forward until our lips touch. My eyes close.

I fall into the kiss. It's a river of gentleness, a living proof that feelings exist and humans are not just mindless beasts. Neither is Zeke. Under his dark, often sinister exterior is a heart that cares for me—and who knows, maybe even for something else in this world.

I respond to his gentleness with my own, trying to put what I already said with words into actions. My hands rise to Zeke's shoulder and bring him closer until our chests touch. It's joy, and bliss, and everything I've wanted.
