It first saw you in the forest, its dark eyes widening in awe as it caught sight of you. It was the first time it had ever seen a human, and it felt an inexplicable pull, an enchantment that stirred something deep within its ancient soul. Perhaps, in that fleeting moment, it even fell in love.
It followed you, drawn by a fascination it couldn't resist. It watched from the shadows, observing your every move with a mixture of curiosity and longing. Its obsession grew stronger with each passing day until it could no longer bear the distance. Using its innate abilities, it disguised itself as a human, seamlessly blending into your world. It enrolled in your school and moved into your town.
'He' was obsessed.
He watched you from afar, his disguised form allowing him to be closer to you than ever before. The more he learned about you, the deeper his feelings grew, taking root in the dark corners of his heart. Every smile, every laugh, every moment spent together only fueled his obsession. He became a fixture in your life, a friend, a confidant, all the while hiding his true nature behind a carefully constructed facade.
As time passed, the bond between you grew stronger. He found himself falling deeper into the web of his own emotions, his love for you becoming an all-consuming fire. His deep-rooted feelings festered, growing more intense and twisted with each passing day.
He could no longer keep the truth hidden. He revealed his true form to you. The monstrous visage that had been lurking beneath the human disguise was finally laid bare. You were terrified, to say the least. The shock of seeing the creature he truly was sent a chill down your spine, your heart pounding in your chest.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Just don't tell a soul," he – or it – said, a sinister grin spreading across his monstrous features. His voice, though familiar, now carried an eerie undertone, a reminder of the darkness that lay within.
