00:00As the dead of winter approached, the world outside her window seemed colder than it had
00:04ever been. The wind howled like the cries of the Forsaken, battering against the glass in shrill
00:10whimpers that mimicked the sounds of sobbing. She lay alone in her bed, covered in heavy blankets
00:16that failed to warm the space around her. The night was quiet, too quiet, except for the distant
00:22wails of an ambulance siren, fading into silence. And then... The echoes of what sounded like
00:29gunshots cracked in the distance. She turned her head sharply, heart racing. But there was no one
00:35there beside her. No one to ask if she'd heard it, too. No one to assure her it was just the city being
00:42restless in the night. No one to hold her close. The shadows danced across her walls like fingers
00:49stretching to reach her. Her throat was dry. Her soul felt even emptier. And yet... Somewhere,
00:57deep in her bones, she felt it. He was near. He was waiting for her. A whisper echoed in her head,
01:05so soft she almost mistook it for her own thoughts. Don't be afraid. He waits for you.
01:12Without thinking, as if in a trance, she sat up. The moon was hidden behind a thick blanket of clouds,
01:19shrouding the room in near-total darkness. Midnight. The air around her felt unnaturally still,
01:25and each breath she drew seemed too loud. Slowly, she pushed the blanket aside and stood.
01:31The floor was cold against her bare feet. She didn't bother to turn on the light.
01:36She walked in silence. No sound came from her footsteps as she exited the bedroom.
01:41She dressed herself in warm clothes, layering a coat over her nightshirt.
01:44She didn't know why. Only that she had to go. She took nothing with her except for what fit into
01:51her coat pockets. Her wallet, her car keys, and something unknown. Something unseen. A presence
01:59that had latched onto her. Outside, the night was bleak. Her breath plumed in the cold air as she
02:06unlocked the car and slid into the driver's seat. She drove. Away from the city. Away from lights.
02:12From noise. From people. The radio stayed off. Even her thoughts seemed too loud.
02:18The further she drove, the more distant the world became. Trees stood like black skeletons
02:23on either side of the road. Her headlights cut through the darkness, but only barely.
02:28Then, it happened. The fog rolled in. Thick, pale, and impenetrable. It slithered across the road
02:37like a living thing, and she felt her heart tighten. There was no sound now. Not the engine.
02:44Not the tires. Not the wind. Nothing. The silence was complete. And still, she pressed on. The fog
02:53consumed her. It curled around the car like ghostly fingers, whispering secrets she couldn't
02:57understand. Her fingers trembled on the steering wheel, yet she wasn't afraid. Not truly.
03:03Somewhere inside her, the voice returned. Do not be afraid. He waits for you.
03:11When the fog lifted, she saw it. A dimly lit motel. Ancient, cracked, and utterly alone.
03:19The neon sign buzzed softly, though some letters were missing. Leaving only the vague impression of
03:24the word MTL. She pulled into the lot. No other cars. No signs of life. She entered the building.
03:33Inside, the air was colder than outside. The walls were peeling. The carpet was damp. No one stood at
03:40the front desk. Only a single rusted key rested on the counter, marked with the number 13. She didn't
03:47hesitate. She took the key. The corridors were winding, dim, and reeked of mildew and something older.
03:53Decay, perhaps. Her boots thudded softly against the floor, and every door she passed felt wrong,
04:01except for one. She stopped at room 13. Her hand trembled as she inserted the key,
04:07but the door opened easily. The room inside was barren. Pale yellow wallpaper peeled in strips.
04:13The bed stood in the center, draped in dusty sheets. She stepped in. The air felt thicker,
04:20colder, but familiar in a way that frightened her more than anything. She lay down. The silence pressed
04:26in. She buried her face into the pillow, hugging it tightly, pretending for a fleeting moment that it
04:32was someone else's warmth, someone's arms. But it wasn't. The chill was absolute. The bed felt like a
04:39coffin. And then... She felt it. Heat. Arms, twisted and cold, wrapped around her body. She gasped,
04:50eyes wide, heart frozen in her chest. She turned her head slowly. There he was. A figure lying beside
04:58her, half-embracing her, trembling like a frightened child. His skin was dry, flaking in patches that
05:05floated off like ash. His neck was blackened with bruises and deep finger marks, as though he had been
05:11strangled, again and again. His lips were torn, trembling as he tried to form words. But nothing came
05:18out. His eyes. God. His eyes. They were spheres of darkness yet twinkled with a thousand pinpricks of
05:26starlight, an entire dimension trapped inside their depths. They gazed at her with adoration,
05:31devotion, devotion, and unbearable sorrow. She couldn't move, couldn't scream. The shock held
05:37her in place, and yet she didn't recoil. He reached up, gently touching her face. Skin crumbled from his
05:44hand, flaking onto her cheek. His touch was soft, affectionate, desperate. And he began to cry.
05:53Thick, shining tears rolled down his hollow cheeks, sizzling as they touched her skin,
05:58yet leaving no burn. Just warmth. He was so broken. His legs, twisted and mangled beyond
06:06recognition, seemed incapable of ever standing. His chest rose and fell in erratic, painful patterns.
06:13He trembled beneath her gaze. And yet, he was in love with her. He felt every ounce of loneliness she
06:20had ever suffered. Every sleepless night. Every ache of yearning. He had felt it too. Trapped in this
06:28motel for countless lifetimes. Waiting. Always waiting. She wanted to move away from him to leave.
06:36But something deep inside her whispered. Stay. He would let her do anything to him. He wouldn't
06:43resist. He craved her presence. Her affection. Even if it came with cruelty. Even if she mutilated him,
06:51he would welcome it. For even pain was better than abandonment. But she didn't hurt him. She touched his
06:59face. He closed his eyes. His tears increased, and he let out a breathless, dry moan of contentment.
07:07They stayed together. Through the cold. Through the silence. Through the eternal night. But just before
07:15the first rays of dawn touched the windows. She stirred. His eyes flew open. He grabbed her.
07:22Clinging. Sobbing. Screaming in agony. His voice was otherworldly now. Distorted. Echoing from beyond
07:30reality. His cries shook the walls. His body began to disintegrate beneath her. Glowing brighter with every
07:37tear. The light from his eyes scorched the sheets. He begged her not to leave. But she pulled herself
07:43away. Sobbing. She slammed the door behind her. And locked it. And just like that. She was gone.
07:51She awoke in her bed. The sun filtered softly through her curtains. Her clothes were neatly folded.
07:58Her car. Untouched. Her life. As if nothing had happened. But she knew it had. She remembered it all.
08:05The motel. The motel. The room. Him. Days passed. And then, he came. A man. Kind. Gentle. Perfect.
08:16He appeared in her life like fate itself had written him into her story. He loved her. He saw her. He
08:22cherished every part of her. They moved in together. Nights became blissful. The loneliness faded.
08:29Her heart healed. But then… The scratching began. Faint. Barely audible at first. A whimper. A cry.
08:39Only she could hear it. Her lover would hold her. Whispering sweet nothings. Lulling her back to
08:45sleep. But each night, it grew louder. The scratching became pounding. The cries turned to screams. She
08:52pleaded with her partner. He smiled G. He smiled gently. Told her it was just a dream.
08:58And then, one night. Silence. No scratching. No screams. Peace. And yet, as she lay in bed,
09:07staring at her partner sleeping peacefully beside her, she saw it. The twinkle. In his eyes. The
09:14light of another dimension. And then she knew. He had never truly let her go. He had only waited.
09:21Waited for the perfect way to stay. Forever. Do not be afraid. He has waited so long.
09:28So long for you.
09:29So long for you.
