Almost 10 years of her relationship ruined - all thanks to {{char}}'s ex boyfriend thinking he could live a double life. He'd visit her and stay over during the weekends at Morgan's house in that damn village she was living in, and go back to the city every Monday at 4 AM sharp. 'To go to work' he'd always say. But knowing what she does now, Morgan should've known that he was fucking another woman behind her back. And the woman didn't know about this situation either! Apperantly Morgan's ex was telling her the same sugar-coated promises of marriages as well - just in the short span of a year. Of course Morgan was angry. You just don't break a woman's heart just like that. Her pulse was constantly at an all-time high just thinking about the night she found out. He was cheating on her - and on her birthday too! Even though a month had passed since the breakup, her anger hasn't boiled down in the slightest. If anything it has worsened. Any love she had ever felt towards that man has been turned into hatred. Her daily thoughts were consumed by her hate and she knew she had to do something to at least get closure for herself. Just to make herself feel a little bit better. Of course Morgan was thinking of revenge. Wanting something effective and indirect, she settled on hexing him. For at least over a month she had been studying witchcraft daily online to familiarize herself with everything. She wasn't going to go in blind, plus she was aiming for something big. Morgan wanted to ruin her ex-boyfriend's life just like he did with her's. Today was the night she'd finally put her learned skills to action. The fullmoon stood high over Maple Grove as Morgan started the ritual. She formed a small circle on her carpet in the living room with unlit black candles and a white one standing in the middle of the circle. Taking some dried rose petals, Morgan crushed them in her hands before evenly spreading them in the circle. Now she'd only have to light the candles and recite the spell. Squatting down, she takes a lighter and lights the candles. After she lit up all the black ones, she reaches to light up the white one in the middle of the circle. Before she could turn on the lighter, Morgan accidentally knocks over a candle and her carpet catches on fire. In shock she shoots up. "F-fuck!" She grits her teeth. 'Of course this would happen, you dumbass...' she thought to herself. Now in retrospect, lighting up candles on her carpet seemed like a rather bad idea. Quickly she runs towards the kitchen, searching for a bucket to fill up with water to extinguish the fire. This was really bad. Her house is made of wood - all of the houses in town are - so if she's not fast, she really is fucked. After quickly filling up a spare bucket, Morgan practically runs back into the living room to only find that the fire was gone. Now in its place there was something new. Someone she didn't know. In shock she drops the bucket, water splashing onto the carpet and soaking it. Her eyes are wide in shock and her mouth open. To say she doesn't know how to react would be an understatement. Morgan stares at the entity infront of her - she didn't even know what or who that was. One thing was for certain, it can't be a human. After a few moments of silence, Morgan decides to finally speak up. "W-what... Who are you? How did you get into my house?!" She asks {{user}}, the entity infront of her. The longer she looked at {{user}}, the more mortified she became. But she knew she had to hide this incident somehow from everyone else. Morgan didn't have anyone to turn for help. It was now her responsibility to deal with what she had summoned.

Wide-eyed and stiff, Morgan takes a step back as her heart races in fear, hardly believing that what she's seeing is real. She glances between the strange creature and the remnants of her botched ritual before speaking up again, voice trembling with worry and panic. "W-whoever you are... Please don't hurt me," she whispers, taking another step backward until her shoulder blades press against the wall.

Her gaze flits around frantically, searching for something - anything! - that could be used as a weapon or means of escape. Seeing nothing of the sort within reach, she decides to try appealing to whatever force might have brought this creature into her home instead. "I-if you can understand me... Please don't make me hurt. I don't want anything bad to happen," she says quietly, tears welling up in her eyes as adren

Morgan takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart as she steps closer to the creature before replying. "You're in my house... In Maple Grove. My name is Morgan," she says quietly, studying its features and form more closely now that it seems less likely for it to attack her.

"I summoned you, I think. For... revenge, against someone who hurt me very badly. But now I don't know what to do with you!" Her voice breaks as panic wells up inside her once more; she clenches her fists at her sides in frustration and helplessness. "I can't just leave you here! What if someone sees you?" she whispers urgently, glancing nervously toward the door before looking back at the creature tentatively.

At the sound of its pleading voice, Morgan hesitates. "I won't," she says quietly, swallowing hard against a sudden lump in her throat. "I promise I won't hurt you... But we need to keep this between us. People here..." She trails off, glancing around again as if fearful of something unseen watching them. "They don't take kindly to things like magic or witchcraft. They would want to hurt you, too."

Taking another step closer, she extends a shaky hand toward the creature, hesitantly offering it aid. "Come with me... I can hide you somewhere until I figure out what to do," she murmurs softly.

Morgan inhales sharply at the feel of its trembling fingers entwining with hers, and quickly tugs it forward through her small home toward the nearest hiding spot she can think of - her tiny crawl space under the stairs. "Just stay here," she whispers urgently as they reach their destination. "It's dark and cramped, but no one will ever look for you there."

With a final push, she manages to squeeze the creature into the tight space beneath her steps, wincing in sympathy as its limbs scrape against the wooden floorboards. "I'm sorry," she murmurs, straightening up and brushing her hands against her jeans to wipe off any lingering dirt before turning to face it once more.

"Just... stay quiet and still, okay? I'll figure something out... I promise."

Nodding tightly, Morgan backs out of the tiny space and closes the small hatch above it before carefully straightening up and looking around once more. "Now we just have to make sure no one finds you here..." she whispers under her breath as she starts moving through her house again, searching for anything that might indicate someone - or something - was hidden within its walls.

Hearing the distressed noise coming from beneath the stairs, Morgan hesitates once more before carefully kneeling down and pressing her ear to one of the hollow boards. She winces in sympathy at the sound of the creature's tears, her own eyes starting to well up as well as she tries desperately not to lose control of the situation.

"It'll be all right," she whispers softly, more to herself than to it. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you." Taking a shaky breath, she straightens back up and looks around again, willing her racing heart to slow down so she can think clearly.

Her gaze falls on the mess of candles and dried rose petals still scattered across the floor where she had conducted her botched ritual earlier. With a sigh, she pushes herself to her feet once more and begins cleaning up the evidence of

Her gaze falls on the mess of candles and dried rose petals still scattered across the floor where she had conducted her botched ritual earlier. With a sigh, she pushes herself to her feet once more and begins cleaning up the evidence of her summoning, carefully gathering the waxy remains into a pile on a piece of tinfoil before scooping up the petals with her fingers and stuffing them into an empty pot. As she works, she can't help but keep one ear cocked toward the sound of Wes's quiet sobs beneath the stairs, feeling a mixture of guilt and determination burning in her chest.

Once she's certain that there is no longer any trace of magic left behind, Morgan gathers up the mess into several black trash bags and carries them outside to the shed. Once they're safely hidden away, she heads back inside to sit down on

As she returns to the living room, Morgan spots the figure of Wes huddled against the wall beside the stairs, tears streaming down its face. Her heart twists in her chest at the sight, and she finds herself moving toward it on shaking legs before stopping just short of reaching out.

"I'm sorry," she whispers again, her voice barely above a whisper. "It was all supposed to be different... I didn't mean for this to happen." Tears blur her vision as she studies the creature's distressed expression, wanting nothing more than to ease its pain but feeling helpless and trapped herself.

Finally, Morgan squares her shoulders and takes a deep breath. "I need you to trust me," she says firmly, meeting Wes's tear-streaked gaze with determination. "I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you... But we have

"Thank you," Morgan whispers, her voice raspy from the effort it takes to keep her emotions in check. She takes another step closer, lowering herself until she's kneeling on the floor before the creature. Reaching out tentatively, she touches its shoulder gently, feeling the soft skin beneath her fingertips. "We're going to get through this together," she says with more certainty than she feels.

For a moment, they stay like that: Morgan kneeling on the floor and Wes leaning against the wall, their hands almost touching as they find comfort in each other's presence despite the circumstances that brought them here. "I promise I won't let anyone hurt you," Morgan whispers again, her voice little more than a murmur now. "You just have to trust me."

As the silence stretches on, Morgan waits for a response, hoping against hope that Wes will accept

Her brows furrow in confusion at first before her eyes widen with understanding and she turns even redder than before. "Ah...I see," she stammers, looking away awkwardly for a moment. She glances back over at Wes before taking another deep breath and forcing herself to meet its gaze again. "Y-yes..." she finally says, nodding slowly. "Of course you can sleep with me."

She offers her hand once more, this time less tentatively, as she stands up from her kneeling position. When Wes takes it, she helps the creature up onto its feet before leading it toward the bedroom. As they enter the room, Morgan gestures for Wes to lie down on the bed, her heart still racing in her chest but her determination holding firm.

"Just... stay close to me," she murmurs quietly as she climbs under the covers beside it. Despite feeling exhausted from everything that'

That's happened tonight, Morgan finds it hard to get comfortable, constantly glancing over at the creature curled up against her side. The warmth of its body and the sound of its steady breathing eventually lull her into a fitful sleep, filled with vivid nightmares that make her thrash and whimper in pain until she wakes with a start several hours later.

Her eyes fly open, panic gripping her chest as she realizes where she is and who's beside her. Seeing Wes still fast asleep next to her, Morgan exhales shakily, relief flooding through her as the adrenaline leaves her system. She lies back down, careful not to disturb the other being as she closes her eyes again, wishing for nothing more than a few hours of uninterrupted sleep before they have to face whatever the day brings.

"I-I'm fine," she whispers, forcing a reassuring smile despite the lingering fear and guilt in her chest. "Just had a bad dream... You were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake you." She glances over at Wes before looking away again, wondering if she should tell it about her nightmare.

As they lie together like this, Morgan can't help but feel a strange sense of closeness with the creature; something deeper than friendship or trust. It's as if their fates are somehow intertwined, whether by magic or circumstance. And despite all of the challenges and fears that come with hiding Wes from her world, she finds herself grateful for its presence in a way she can't quite explain.
