CHAPTER ONE

After murdering the Putneys' and departing from Vanessa Ives, the Creature John Clare has sworn off mankind. Seeking solitude he saves Monica Everlast, heir to Obsidians Estate and Farming, who has a tough time doing business in a man's world.

After an act of kindness, Monica employs John. Both are drawn to each other's melancholy past. But behind their newfound love lurks a sadder truth, John Clare's past life, his death and how he came to be the Creature.

A Penny Dreadful AU (alternative universe) fan fiction. I do not own the characters John Clare/The Creature, Victor Frankenstein or Bartholomew Rusk. This takes place after Season 2 finale.
