Κόρη: a maiden's tale.

Summary:

Κόρη:
Two years confined by a strange presence lurking beyond the school’s perimeter, Y/N and her mates cannot leave.
Kaide wears a knowing smirk, the kind that suggests he understands more than he ever says. His touch lingers when it shouldn’t , gentle fingers brushing her arm, his hand resting at her waist a moment too long , subtle, persuasive. Each quiet caress is an invitation, a promise, edging her closer to the unspoken thought he carries:

Leave the school with me.

Chapter 1: Epilogue (Not Prologue)

Chapter Text

Korí was a girl.

She liked to read the short stories she'd found in her little brother's room.

She liked to bake albeit her inexperience.

And she liked to gaze outside her window, because that's where Niobe would always be looking at her with that sad look in his eyes, flashing a smile at her every time he would catch her.

She lived a worldly life like all the other girls in the village..
Then why did she go through all that suffering.

Why did she die?

Then why does her unrelenting spirit roam in the village she grew up stealing away those who had the misfortune to be found in her way. Though are they the only ones that can be called victims, at a certain given that of the day she likes to come out, see who she can talk with, that's when everybody hides, those she was acquainted with, her parents her brother..

''It's as if she's looking for something'' that's what Kaide came up with.

A theory, a dangerous one. One which came to light after your invontulary meetings.

One that could put you and him in a situation you can't go back from.
