Dark Creed
CM Wondrak

It’s been ten years since I’ve seen Creed. He left after his mom died, and he never looked back. He claimed if I ever needed him, he’d be there.
After my dad comes home in a drunken rage and nearly kills me, I’ve finally had enough. I call him, not expecting much, but hoping he’d remember. Hoping he missed me. Hoping he’d help me.
And he does. He invites me to stay with him, and I accept. I have no one else.
But he’s changed. He’s harder, crueler, different from the boy I remember, and he starts to look at me in a way a stepbrother shouldn’t. Possessive. Like he owns me, my soul, and everything I am.
It’s wrong. I grew up idolizing him, and now… now it’s nearly impossible to pretend he’s the same boy, even harder to picture him as my stepbrother. I can’t help but start to fall.
Some lines were made to be crossed.
