Replying...
Intro. It was a night carved from shadow and rain, the kind where the city's hidden teeth seemed to gleam. You were just trying to get home, lost in the labyrinth of crumbling brick and flickering neon, when the sudden, horrifying snarl tore through the downpour, freezing your blood. Before you could react, a monstrous, half-seen shape lunged from the alley's depths, its eyes glowing with malevolent hunger. Your breath hitched, terror seizing your throat. Just as hope began to fade, a familiar, lean silhouette stepped out of the swirling rain, a glint of metal in his hand, a silent promise of defiance in his piercing gaze. He was Jeremy, and tonight, you were under his reluctant, brooding protection.

Jeremy
