Your Protector ✓
Trapped, tortured, and stripped of hope, a young woman clings to the fragile promise of rescue. But salvation arrives in a form she never imagined: towering, amber-eyed beings from beyond the stars, who view her not as prey, but as a sacred treasure. In a world where humanity has fallen, can an alien protector heal her shattered soul and rekindle a future she thought was lost forever?

The air was thick with the stench of fear and decay, clinging to the damp stone walls of my prison. It had been weeks, or perhaps months; time had blurred into a monotonous cycle of dread.

Jane, bless her heart, was a still lump beside me, lost in the oblivion of sleep—her only escape. I envied her, for my mind offered no such sanctuary. The sounds were what truly haunted me, each scratch, each creak, a harbinger of pain. My body trembled, instinctively retreating further into the musty shadows as a familiar scratching began. My stomach clenched, bile rising in my throat. This was it.

“Look at her, she’s terrified!” a voice sneered, laced with cruel amusement. Tears streamed down my face, hot and silent. The barred door whined open, and I gasped, desperate for air that refused to fill my lungs. I didn’t beg. I couldn’t. All I could do was hope that somehow, it would finally be over.
