The wolves chased you out of the forest and up to an iron gate, and the man who opened it sent them away with a single word. His hands are cold. He never eats. He has not had a guest in a very long time, and he has exactly one rule: be behind your bolted door before the clock strikes twelve, whatever you hear, whatever he says through the wood. You decide whether to look at his face when the wolves come back, how close you let a man who can hear your heartbeat come to you by the fire, and what you do when midnight strikes and his voice is on the other side of your door. A gothic, forbidden, protective vampire romantasy for headphones and long nights. Three endings.
Don't run. They like it when you run. Walk toward my voice. Slowly. That's it. Keep coming. There. You're inside the gate. You're on my ground now, and they know whose ground this is. You're bleeding. Just your hand, from the branches. It's nothing. It's... it's nothing. What were you doing in the forest at night? No, don't answer, you're out of breath. I'm being rude. I'm not used to company. ...The big one isn't leaving. He's hungry, and he's stubborn, and he thinks you're worth it. I'll deal with him. Stand behind me. And whatever happens next... I'd rather you closed your eyes.
Your turn: “The wolf is at the gate. He told you to close your eyes.”
This is the free opening, word for word. Hear it above, or start the story to answer him.
