"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

Evelyn had managed to pack most of her stuff. Not that there was much to pack in the first place. For instance, she hadn’t even unpacked half of her bag when she arrived. Call it insecurity—or maybe it was just her way of keeping one foot out the door, never fully letting herself believe she could stay. 


She hadn’t slept properly last night. Instead of seeking comfort in her Dad's arms like she’d thought she might, she stayed in her room, tossing and turning restlessly. Her mind wouldn’t stop racing, circling the endless “what ifs” that came with the upcoming mafia ball and its disaster. 


This newfound family of hers—they didn’t deserve the danger she carried with her. And she couldn’t risk their lives just because her heart ached to stay.
