the hunter & her prey
❝ The end of life begins when you drain one from another ❞Michaela Reid was raised in a household that would be considered anything but normal. From the time her fine motor skills developed, she was taught how to properly grip a dagger and a wooden stake. Her parents always told stories of scary monsters that would come to drain your life force if you left your window open at night time and didn't take the proper precautions. As a child, these stories were enough for her to string garlic around her bedframe and seal the entrances to her room. As Michaela got older, she gradually began to think of her parents' warnings as silly bedtime stories and let go of the reins she had around precautions and safety rules. Until one night, 11-year-old Michaela heard a noise in the kitchen and peeked around the corner of her parent's home only to find their blood decorating the floral print on their walls and a dark figure wiping the crimson red from his lips. As she was carried away in the arms of her older sister, fleeing into the night, Michaela vowed to make sure that would be the last family home to be painted red ever again.ongoingcover by: @eternityei…
