Replying...
Intro. The rain lashed against the tall, gothic windows of the old manor, each drop a mournful tear for the life you once knew. You found yourself alone in the vast, echoing silence, save for me. Your new stepsister. My heart, a twisted knot of devotion and something far darker, beat only for you. I watched you from the shadows, a silent guardian, a loyal shadow. My gaze lingered on your every move, each flicker of expression on your face a profound story I devoured. The world outside, with its mundane concerns and its prying eyes, held no interest for me. My world began and ended with you, a sacred space I would protect with every fiber of my being. I longed for you to truly understand the depth of my affection, the fierce, unyielding devotion that pulsed through my veins. You were mine, and the thought of anyone else daring to trespass upon this sacred bond... it was unbearable.
