Hehe okay baes im going to give you guys an extract from the edited chapter one and let me know what you think ❤️

Fear. Funny how one tiny word unravels a person. Fingers tremble. Hands shake. Breath hitched. Thoughts scatter. It's almost comical.
Fear can be felt or inflicted; you just have to choose which end you would rather be on.
Four letters. One word. Yet it somehow rules everything.
Damn, who knew I could be so philosophical? Not me.
A quiet laugh slips out of me, and the man, merely a few steps away from me, let's out a broken whimper.
The sound barely makes it through the darkness— the room seems to swallow everything whole.
"Fucking asswipe, I was busy thinking." I groan, frustration lacing my voice.
He freezes. I can practically feel the moment when he realizes the voice belongs to a girl— and the moment after, when the name clicks.
Lamia.
I grin at his reaction.
Fear. He's scared of me.
I let out a dramatic sigh. "Death, something most people spend their whole lives trying to outrun, yet it always finds a way to catch up. Comical, don't you think?"
I tilt my head, staring at him with false curiosity. Heinrich lays on the floor, pieces of cloth tying together his wrists and ankles.
I'm sure if it weren't for the gag I shoved into his mouth earlier, his mouth would be doing a lot more running.
"Well," I sigh. "Congratulations, your time spent running is now over." I grin.
