"That's not my shadow, it's my darkness"

Evelyn De'luca, she reads the rules before breaking them. 

A fifteen year old girl, who had seen the worst of humanity yet she survives everyday of living. She never desired anything except freedom, which she never got, and choices she never made. Surviving to the mother who lives on drugs and then surviving the dark years gifted by her mother had made her into something, she couldn't be recognised as her own. 

There's so many scars and secrets she wears on her skin, a secret monster which people fear. She just smiles when people say monsters do not exist, it's a myth but to her? They exist. How does she know that? It's because she is the one.

Join the journey of Evelyn De'luca, how she found her family and how she'll hunt down those demons dancing in shadows. 


Beautifully destroyed

“I love you, mia amore,” I murmured, my voice low to not disturbed her. I tucked my girl into bed, covering her with a blanket just like the way she liked. 


Her pale face, framed by strands of unruly hair, looked so peaceful in sleep. Yet, Exhaustion painted her features. And her skin, always cold to the touch, felt like a small block of ice beneath my fingers. I wish I could take away that cold and replace it with warmth. 


I’d known it before, lived with it in small, suffocating corners of my past. Thanks to my mother's terror. But nothing compared to the terror that gripped me when Angelina called earlier today. 


Her voice trembled here and there as she told me about Eve’s panic attack. It was so unlike her so it must’ve been worse. 


The thought of my little girl spiraling, trapped in her own mind, shattered me in ways no physical pain ever could.
