She is my obsession.

This isn't a normal love story, Sweetheart. The girl's no spitfire, the man's no saint.

We are both villains.

She is my obsession; I am hers.

I know my princess hates that prince, I know she will flee that castle.

I know she will follow me, and once she enters these woods...

She's mine.

*****

This isn't a normal fantasy romance. This is a story of a princess who happens to be a murderer, but all her murders are blamed on one man.

THE MAN IN THE MASK.

Any normal person would fear him, but not Alice. Alice happens to be intrigued by him... and she knows he's not so innocent either.

For he is also a murderer.

An obsession is what she has, but she knows her obsession isn't one-sided. For he had been watching her for some time now.

And little did she know, that he had claimed her as his own.

There's also illiteracy and poverty  but that isn't life threatening for Aurora, yet.

Plummeted into a new world order with a constant existential crises in hand, will Aurora be able to save herself with only her dramatics to get her through?

In the twists and turns of the pretentious aristocrats that now occupy her home, the Princess might find true love or a broken heart. Each way shall guide her to the life she ever craved for - or so she thought.

I had the idea for this story many years ago, it all began with an OC I used for casual roleplaying. Then the story for this character remained kicking around in my head for many, many years and underwent a lot of changes and adjustments before reaching its current state.

I took a lot of inspiration from different kinds of books, but the one book that finally helped me actually get anything written was The Chronicles of Narnia.

•"allah's door is never closed"

"You are the moon which shines through the darkness that is my life, the epitome of chaos that I embraced with open arms. I loved you then, still love you now, and will always love you for the rest of my never-ending existence…"

Eona's first memory included supernaturals - one who threatened her life and the other who saved her on that particular night. But growing up, she was taught that werewolves and vampires were not real. That they just belong in tales and old legends, and that they were only characters in stories used to scare children at night. A fiction. With an innocent mind, she believed them. Until the time when she started to question everything.

She started to doubt when the normalcy she was brought up with didn't seem so… normal. The things she was made to believe were actually the same things that made her doubt. When the truth she was made to believe became lies in an instant and everything normal was turned upside down, Eona was pulled into a world her family tried so hard to keep her away from.

Even though she knew it was dangerous, like a moth to a flame, she was drawn into that world. A world where humans like herself obviously do not belong to - the world of supernatural beings.

The dangers did not stop her from delving in deeper. Eona found it more beautiful than the world she currently lives in. And her unending curiosity brought her to meet Rouen. She didn't know what force it was that kept pulling her into his world. But fate couldn't be more cruel and unfair because the answers she sought came to her on that one fateful night. The night when Rouen made a vow and Eona literally… died.
