He is doing it again. Watching me, following me, always watching me. Crowley, I thought he would stop after the catacombs. Did he? Of course not. He is Simon fucking Snow, Simon lets-make-my-life-hell Snow. And Snow never gives up. If he just knew what he is doing to me. He would kill me on the spot.

I never run from him, not my style. Also, why would I? Here I am, wandering nonchalantly in the forest with no ill intentions whatsoever, and that idiot is lurking behind me. People can't even eat peacefully when he is in this school. He is breathing so loudly I would hear him even without my superpowers. I can't believe he still thinks I don't know he is following me. Maybe I should just eat something and let him see. It's not like anyone would believe him. Not even his beloved Mage.

Maybe I should just eat him.

I know perfectly well where I am. This forest is my third home. (After my actual home and the catacombs). Our room is fourth because I practically go there only to sleep. Everything to get away from Snow. Not that it's working, but it's still better than being in the same room with him, watching him, smelling him, feeling him... (I would go insane). I slip between two big tree trunks and go on top of one fast and silently. Only the vampire in me allows me to do that. Snow isn't going to think I'm on a fucking tree. He isn't going to think in general. He never does.

He is below me right now looking for me. He huffs and looks around some more, I swear he even glanced in my direction, but it's too dark (not for me). I'm surprised he even managed to follow me. He looks completely lost (what he is), but he is also furious. I can smell it. The smoke. His smoke. I hope he isn't going to go off. The forest would burn to ashes, including me. Literally.

He runs away from the tree I'm on, with the path to the left (he is going to the heart of the forest). Not me. After a few minutes I'm on my way to our room. I catch a fox on the way and enter my room as if nothing happened. As if it were an everyday thing (and it is). Snow must stop doing it. He is taking away my precious hours of sleep. I'm not sleeping now either. Not when he is still out there. Maybe he will not return until the morning when it's bright enough for him to find a way out. But I still won't sleep. I can't help it.

Some weeks ago I barricaded him in the catacombs. He came in the room a few minutes before I left for class. Neither one of us have slept a wink. From then on I tried to lose him just enough to feed myself so we would go back to our room together. Feels like a date. Though we don't walk next to each other. He is always a few steps behind me, even when he knows I know he is there.

It must be a few hours now and I'm laying in my bed facing the wall. The door opens and I can hear Snow undressing. He falls into his bed and sleeps instantly.

Alive then.

I turn to my other side. He didn't even bother with pajamas.

I sleep.


Hi, this is another take on writing from me. I can tell I'm not good, but I am in the "you won't learn anything unless you try" mode. I finished Carry on the other day and I loved it, maybe even more than Fangirl. This is going to be a longer story and I swear there's going to be dialogue too, this is just kind of a prologue. I will also try to make the chapters longer.

I tried to do it in a style similar to the actual novel (first person, present tense). Hope that's OK.

Grammar nazis are welcome. So if someone has time for pointing out my mistakes, please do. I will try to correct it when I upload the next chapter.
