BLOOD LINE AND SHADOW

Previously

…I was Alex Sterling. I worked in accounting. I liked quiet nights and good books. I was… normal. But as I stared into the depths of my own eyes, a chilling suspicion began to bloom, a terrible seed of doubt that threatened to consume me. What if the whispers weren't just in my dreams? What if they were a part of me? What if my carefully constructed ordinary life was nothing more than a fragile illusion, and something ancient, something terrifying, was finally waking up? The locket lay on the floor, a silent, tarnished testament to a heritage I was only just beginning to fear. The night was still young, and the shadows were beginning to stir.
