The shadows on the ceiling

Lily has spent years around the foster system, but now she is growing out of it soon and she is now in a rush to figure out how to make it out alive.

Lily needs to get out, she doesn't just want to, she needs to, she is ready for anything to survive. If that means stealing, lying and cheating her way out of that village then she is ready for it.

A strange ad in the newspaper looking to hire someone might be the light in her darkness, or her undoing if her plan fail.

Ignatius would rather continue living untethered and not caring for anyone. It is simpler that way when you are a monster and when you are cursed. He is only focused on finding a cure to his condition. He has been fine that way for hundreds of years, until Lily Marisol came along.

Ignatius is old. Really old. Older than he look. He has learned many lessons, like never stick to one place too long.

From now on both lives will be forever changed. Their course for ever altered in a way neither saw coming.
