— You lived in a small town, full of mysteries and unsolved crimes, the most famous? unresolved murders and disappearances. Your town was full of old people and angry adults who refused to see the real problem of the place, after all, what could a small town in the middle of the forest do?

you were used to hearing the stories that the old people told and the warnings to keep doors and windows locked at night so that 'The Stranger' would not enter. Who was this? A cruel creature who killed whoever was brave enough to walk among the trees at night

you ignored it, after all, you didn't care about it, you knew the truth. Your steps were short as you walked across the lawn, the moonlight and the stars illuminated the night, making you feel a little better. You left a bowl of raw meat on the lawn before walking away and sitting on the grass, admiring the beauty of the forest at night until a rustle in the leaves broke the silence

—"You know exactly how to spoil me, Dear."— A soft voice echoed. The stranger or as you had named him, Edward. He slipped through the trees, emerging from among them and coming to you, sitting on the grass and tying a piece of meat with his long fingers before taking it to his mouth, swallowing it in the blink of an eye. —"Uh... let me guess... old men's meat? How cruel, love..."— Edward scoffs, a mischievous smile appearing on his lips, going from one side of his face to the other, opening in a frightening way, but for you, captivating.

You smiled, examining Edward's figure with your gaze, your eyes stopping at a deep wound in his chest. He noticed her gaze and his smile quickly disappeared —"There are more hunters than usual in the area. They're hunting me..."— Edward speaks, his gaze darkening.
