Part–1: The Dark City
The sky above the city was shrouded in mist. A cold breeze swept through the old brick walls, making them shiver as if the city itself were alive. Janki stood by the window, her eyes holding an unusual emptiness, her heart weighed down by a quiet fear she couldn't explain.
From the lonely streets below came faint footsteps—someone walking in the distance. Janki stepped back into the room, but her mind didn't find peace. Just then, a shadow emerged from the far edge of the city.
Marco—an enigmatic man whose very presence inspired both fear and curiosity. His eyes were as deep as the night, half-hidden in shadow. People trembled when they saw him, yet some felt a strange pull, a desire to be near him.
Janki and Marco's eyes met at a deserted street corner. No words were exchanged, yet an invisible wave seemed to pass between them. Janki realized—this man would bring a storm into her life. And Marco knew too—this girl might be the one to break his long-standing curse… or drag him entirely into darkness.
The moon slowly emerged through the night sky. Hidden in the mist, their shadows intertwined. Without knowing it, Janki's life had already begun to change that night.

Part–3: The Shadow of Danger
The next day, the city seemed quieter, almost deceptive in its calm. Janki couldn't shake off the memory of Marco's eyes, the way they had penetrated her very thoughts. She tried to focus on mundane tasks, but every shadow, every whisper of the wind reminded her of him.
Meanwhile, Marco watched from afar, keeping his distance. He knew the city held more dangers than a simple night walk could reveal. And he knew Janki was already marked by those dangers, though she remained unaware.
A sudden commotion near the market pulled Janki's attention. A group of thugs, cloaked in black, surrounded a merchant. Without thinking, she moved closer, curiosity outweighing caution.
Before she could react further, a figure appeared, moving like smoke, striking with precision. Marco. The thugs fell one by one, incapacitated but not killed. The last one tried to flee, only to meet Marco's silent, deadly glare.
Janki's heart pounded. Fear, awe, and a strange thrill mingled inside her. She realized then that the man she feared was also her only shield against the shadows of this city.
Marco turned to leave without a word, but Janki called out, "Wait! Why… why did you help?"
He paused, not looking back. "Because the night does not forgive weakness," he said simply, then disappeared into the mist.
Janki stayed there, trembling, but a new feeling rooted itself in her chest—a dangerous fascination with the man who seemed to straddle the line between protector and predator.
Part–4: Unspoken Connection
That night, sleep eluded Janki. Her mind replayed the image of Marco's swift movements, the cold precision with which he neutralized the threat. She couldn't understand why her thoughts kept returning to him. It frightened her.
Meanwhile, Marco stood atop a distant rooftop, watching the streets below. He sensed her thoughts, not by magic, but by the unusual pull he felt toward her. She was different—vulnerable yet strangely resilient. Something about her had caught his attention in a way no one else had.
As midnight approached, he descended silently, appearing at the edge of an alley where Janki had walked earlier. She froze, expecting another silent exit. Instead, he simply observed her from the shadows.
"You shouldn't wander alone," he murmured, almost a whisper.
Janki shivered—not from the cold, but from the intensity in his tone. "I… I can take care of myself," she said, her voice firmer than she felt.
Marco's eyes softened, just slightly, but only for a moment. "Perhaps. But the city has teeth, Janki. And tonight, it's hungry."ঠিক
Part–5: Secrets in the Alley
The fog had thickened around the narrow alleys. Janki moved cautiously, each step echoing against the cobblestone. She sensed eyes on her, but no one was there—only the shadows, dancing unnaturally in the flickering lamplight.
Suddenly, Marco emerged from the mist, silent as a predator. "You shouldn't be here alone," he said, voice calm yet edged with warning.
"I can handle myself," Janki replied, trying to mask the tremor in her voice.
He studied her for a moment, then smirked slightly. "Perhaps… but tonight is not forgiving."
The air thickened. There was a tension between them, unspoken yet undeniable. Janki felt it deep in her chest—a mix of fear, attraction, and something else she couldn't name.
Part–6: The First Threat
A scream pierced the night. Janki spun around to see a shadow lunging from the darkness. She froze, paralyzed by instinct and fear.
Marco was there in an instant, intercepting the figure with lethal precision. The attacker crumpled silently to the ground, unconscious but alive.
Janki's eyes widened. "Who… who was that?" she whispered.
"An omen," Marco said simply, eyes scanning the surrounding alleys. "There are forces in this city that hunger for weakness. And tonight… you were the target."
She shivered. "Why are you helping me?"
He met her gaze, the intensity in his eyes making her heart race. "Because even shadows need a reason to linger."
Part–7: The Dark Pact
The following night, Marco appeared again. This time, he didn't wait for danger. He simply watched Janki from the edge of the square.
"I don't understand you," she said, frustrated. "Why do you keep following me?"
He stepped closer, but not too close. "Because your life is entangled with forces you cannot yet see. I am not your enemy… but neither am I your friend."
Janki frowned. "Then… what are you?"
Marco's lips curved into a shadow of a smile. "I am the storm that follows the quiet, Janki. And you… are already part of it."
Part–8: Trust Tested
Days passed. Janki and Marco crossed paths repeatedly. Each encounter brought unease, fascination, and subtle danger. One evening, as they walked through an abandoned courtyard, Janki asked, "Can I trust you?"
Marco stopped. His eyes softened slightly, but the shadows around him never dimmed. "Trust is earned, never given freely," he said.
A part of Janki wanted to turn and run. Another part wanted to reach out, to test the invisible thread connecting them. She didn't move.
Part–9: The Revelation
Marco led Janki to a hidden chamber beneath the city. Candles flickered, revealing walls etched with strange symbols.
"These," Marco explained, "are the seals that hold the darkness at bay. And soon… it will awaken."
Janki's breath caught. "And what does that mean for me?"
He stepped closer, the shadows around him deepening. "It means your life is no longer entirely yours. But it also means… you are stronger than you think."
Part–10: The First Touch
That night, Janki couldn't sleep. Thoughts of Marco haunted her. The way he moved, the way he spoke, the way danger seemed to cling to him like a second skin—it was intoxicating.
Without warning, Marco appeared at her window. "You shouldn't be awake," he murmured, voice low and velvety.
"I… I couldn't sleep," Janki admitted, heart hammering.
He reached out, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "And yet… you are here," he whispered, just inches from her. The tension between them was electric, a dangerous magnet neither could resist.
For a moment, the city faded. The fog, the shadows, the distant cries—they all disappeared. All that existed was the closeness, the dark pull between them, and the storm that was only beginning.
