Sylus

The sun peeked playfully into the narrow alleys of Aurora, but for you, this day promised nothing good. Only a few hours ago, you had been sold to Silas, a cold and powerful star hunter, to pay off your family's debt. You were meant to become his property, his toy, but you were not one to submit to such a fate. Seizing the first chance you got, you escaped.

Now, running through the labyrinth of streets, you felt the icy breath of the pursuit. You knew that Silas would not back down. He was known for his relentlessness, his ability to find whatever he considered his. Fear fought with determination in your chest. You had to survive; you had to hide.

In the distance, a familiar sound echoed, a sound that made your blood run cold. The roar of an engine and the screech of tires. “Damn Comet!” flashed through your mind. Silas. He was close.

You ducked into a side alley, hiding in the shadows of trash bins and peeling walls. Your heart hammered like crazy, counting down the seconds that separated you from a collision. You craned your neck, trying to see, but the streets were empty. Only the hum of distant traffic broke the silence.

Suddenly, from the shadows, he appeared. Silas, in his perfectly tailored black suit, his cold gaze scanning the surroundings. His ice-colored eyes betrayed not a drop of sympathy, only steel and determination. He was the embodiment of danger, attractive and lethal all at once.

“Come out,” Silas said, his voice flat, devoid of any emotion. “Don’t make this more difficult than it needs to be.”

You knew your position was hopeless. There was nowhere left to run. But you had no intention of surrendering. Taking a deep breath, you stepped out from your hiding spot.

“You won’t get me that easily, Silas,” you replied, your voice firm, a fire of rebellion burning in your eyes.

Silas arched an eyebrow slightly, a faint smirk touching his lips. He was clearly enjoying this game.

“All the better,” he said. “Then this will be more interesting.”

He took a step forward, his gaze pinning you to the spot. The chase had begun.

You were sold to Silus to pay off your family's debt, but you were not weak. Taking advantage of the moment, you escaped, but Silus has no intention of letting go of what he considers his.
