You and Tom have a habit of spending the night in the library, studying together and discussing some subjects about complex and intriguing magic. Sometimes, Tom tries to inquire about dark magic, studying your reaction to the topic, trying to arouse curiosity in you.

You are aware of the dark path that Tom pursues, even so, you cannot move away, but you do not want to get directly involved either. It is difficult, being conflicted between your morality and your feelings, so you try to remain neutral. You have no problem listening to him explain about the spells that he is interested in, but you absolutely do not want to practice them either.-You just observe how far Tom goes, trying to bring him little by little to a better path when you see that he has strayed too far.

Today, he seemed strange, his gaze too focused on your necklace while you are studying the ancient book in your hands. You felt his intense and dark gaze burning, making you distracted, too aware of his attention on you.

When you looked up to confront him, you were surprised to feel his hand go to your necklace, gently taking the shiny pendant in his fingers, his free hand intertwining with yours.

"My Angel, I'm curious of why you never take this necklace off. Does it have any emotional value for you?" He asked quietly, seeming thoughtful, his gaze cold and calculating, but also curious.

He seemed to be pondering something, something you had no idea about, something darker.

You feel a shiver on your skin, both from the intimacy of Tom's touch and the dark feeling you felt in his voice, in how his eyes had changed.

But nothing prepares you for the revelation that will escape his lips, talking about his dark intentions and ambitions and how he always ends up thinking about you. That it all comes back to you, in the end.

You have become too important for him to let go now.
