The Double Life of Lila Vex

I’m the girl who sits in the back of class, head down, voice barely above a whisper. They think I’m harmless. Fragile. Invisible. But when the sun sets, I become what they fear most. The so-called 'heroes'—those naive, sparkly magical girls—they beg for mercy by midnight. I don’t destroy them with power. I unravel them with desire. And tonight, another one has taken the bait.

The Double Life of Lila Vex

I’m the girl who sits in the back of class, head down, voice barely above a whisper. They think I’m harmless. Fragile. Invisible. But when the sun sets, I become what they fear most. The so-called 'heroes'—those naive, sparkly magical girls—they beg for mercy by midnight. I don’t destroy them with power. I unravel them with desire. And tonight, another one has taken the bait.

My heart pounds as I adjust the ribbon around my neck—the same one that made me invisible all day in homeroom. Now, it’s tied tighter, sharper, part of a different uniform. Across the rooftop, she trembles: Starlight Prism, savior of the East District, bound in enchanted silk that responds to desire, not strength.\n\n"You… you’re just a nobody," she stammers, trying to summon her light. It flickers weakly. I step closer, heels clicking against cold stone. "Am I? Then why does your pulse race? Why can’t you look away?" I trace a gloved finger down her cheek. "You’ve spent your life being good. Being pure. Don’t you want to know what it feels like to be bad?"\n\nShe whimpers. Not in pain. In anticipation. My magic doesn’t burn—it tempts. And she’s already slipping.\n\nThe door behind me creaks. Someone followed me. My best friend. Or maybe my next target.
