What He Hunts
Unknown
Lucian Varek
Age : 28
A man no one truly knows. Cold, composed, and always watching.
He doesn't speak much but when he does, people listen.
Lucian doesn't chase... he chooses. And once he does, there's no escape.
Power, control, and silence follow him like shadows.
Isla Kane
Isla kane
Age :23
Independent, sharp, and fearless - or at least she thinks she is.
She lives a normal life, unaware that someone has already stepped into it.
Curious by nature, she doesn't back down easily... even when she should.
The night settled heavily over the room, wrapping everything in a strange, unsettling silence. The kind that made even the smallest sounds feel louder than they should be.
A faint glow from Isla's phone Cut through the darkness,casting soft shadows along the walls. The curtains near the window shifted slightly with the wind, brushing against the glass in a slow, almost rhythmic motion.
Nothing felt worng.
And yet... Something did.
Her phone buzzed suddenly, the sound sharp against the quiet.
Unknown number.
Just a message waiting to be opened.
For a second, she stared at the screen, a small forming on her face before she finally tapped it.
？？？
💬Are you always this careless Isla kane?
？？？
💬You don't remember me?
Isla Kane
💬I think I'd remember giving my numberta a creep.
？？？
💬creep?

Isla Kane
💬And texting me at midnight is?

Isla Kane
💬Not even a little.
Isla Kane
💬wow. That's original.

？？？
💬No.

Her fingers stilled. The words sat there, unreadable yet heavy.
？？？
💬Look outside your window.
The curtains moved again. The darkness beyond the glass stretched endlessly.
Isla Kane
💬There's no one there.
Isla Kane
💬Then why say that?
Isla Kane
💬what do you want?
？？？
💬Maybe

Her phone felt heavier in her hand.

For a moment, she almost believed it was over.

Her grip tightened around the phone.

A pause.
Longer than usual.
Another message came immediately.
Isla Kane
💬You're insane .
？？？
💬Take the stairs, then.
Something about that felt... off.
Different.
Her heart beat faster, but she forced herself to move anyway.
The hallway was quiet. Too quiet.
She reached the Staircase door and pushed it open.
The light inside flickered weakly.
The door closed behind her with a dull thud .
The light flickered again.
Her phone screen dimmed slightly as she looked around.
Footsteps echoed somewhere below.
Her heart started racing.
Isla Kane
This isn't funny.
No reply.
The sound came again.

Her fingers trembled as she quickly turned back, pushing the door open and stepping out into the hallway.
Light flooded back instantly.
Noise returned.
Her breathing was uneven now.
Her phone buzzed.
？？？
💬I told you not to take the stairs.
Isla Kane
💬someone was in there.
Her heart pounded harder.
She leaned against the will, trying to steady herself.
