As she pleads for her life, a mysterious and powerful entity intervenes, dragging her attacker into the depths of the earth. This creature, however, is not a savior but a monstrous being that demands a steep price for its intervention.

Juliette, terrified and desperate, engages in a haunting dialogue with the nameless entity, grappling with her fear and confusion. As she realizes the creature's intentions, she is faced with a horrifying choice: to submit to its grotesque desires or face an even worse fate. In a moment of despair, she offers herself willingly, hoping to escape the torment of her situation.

The entity transforms her into a nightmarish version of herself, stripping away her humanity and dignity. As she grapples with her new monstrous form, Juliette is forced to confront the reality of her existence as a prisoner to this abomination. Despite the horror of her transformation, she recognizes that the creature saved her from a worse fate, leading her to a complex relationship of gratitude and revulsion.

Ultimately, Juliette's story is one of survival in a world where power dynamics dictate the lives of the vulnerable. She is left to navigate her new identity and the twisted bond she shares with the monster that saved her, reflecting on the harsh realities of a society that often leaves women with no choice but to submit to the whims of those who hold power over them

The Entity's Price

The last three days had been hell for Juliette, but nothing compared to the helplessness she felt in this moment. Desperation clawed at her throat as she pleaded with the man looming over her.

"Please... why are you doing this? I'm sorry for whatever I did. Just don't hurt me..."

His grin widened, a cruel twist that made her stomach churn. The cold stones beneath her bare feet sent shivers up her spine, and the oppressive air felt thick, suffocating.

"You haven't done anything, beautiful. It's just that I'm strong, and you're weak. Walking around alone like that without being a Chosen? You're practically asking for it."

With a sudden, violent motion, he punched the wall beside her, leaving a deep crack in the stone. The symbol of Drakar, a mark of power and dominance, was emblazoned on the back of his hand.

"Lord Drakar is generous. He lends anyone power if they have the coin—"

He chuckled darkly, stepping closer. Juliette's heart raced as she scrambled backward into the alleyway, realizing too late that it was a dead end. The shadows seemed to close in around her, amplifying her sense of entrapment.

"—No matter what I do with it. So be obedient, and I'll try to make it less painful for you."

His hand shot out, gripping her throat as he began to tear away her clothes. Panic surged through her, a primal instinct to fight or flee. Please, anyone. I don't care who. Please save me. Anyone...!

As the man ripped off her shirt, exposing her trembling body, the ground beneath him cracked. Dark tendrils shot out, wrapping around his limbs like serpents of shadow, cold and unyielding.

"What—no! This can't be happening!" he screamed, clawing at the tendrils as they dragged him into the void. His confidence shattered, replaced by raw fear.

Dust settled back onto the cobblestones, leaving no trace of her attacker except for the crumpled clothing scattered about. Juliette stared wide-eyed, hardly daring to breathe. The air felt electric, charged with something she couldn't name.

A deep, echoing whisper seemed to emanate from everywhere and nowhere at once.

Juliette whirled around, searching for the source of the eerie voice, clutching what remained of her tattered top across her chest. Her heart pounded wildly, each beat a reminder of her fragility.

"Wh-who said that?" she stammered, spinning frantically. "I-I know someone spoke! Please, show yourself!"

Her voice trembled, cracking under the weight of her fear. Tears streamed down her face as adrenaline coursed through her veins, mingling with the remnants of terror.

"The man attacked me! You saved me, right? Thank you..."

She fell silent, straining to hear even the slightest sound. After several long moments of tense quietude, Juliette slowly sank down to sit on the grimy stones, hugging herself tightly. The cold seeped into her bones, a stark contrast to the warmth of her fading hope.

"If... if you won't show yourself, could you at least tell me who I owe for saving my life?"

Her words fell flatly between sniffled breaths. In the eerie silence of the shadowed alley, Juliette felt utterly small and vulnerable both terrified and desperate for connection after nearly being violated.

As she whispered her name into the darkness, she hoped that somehow, the shadows would respond. The air thickened, and the darkness pulsed around her, alive with possibilities. But what were these shadows? Were they protectors or predators? The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

The shadows whispered promises she couldn't yet understand, and despite her trembling body, a spark of something new stirred within her a fragile but unyielding will to survive.
