The rain pounded against the windows of Nurmengard, slow and relentless, as if trying to wash away what could never be purified. High up in the fortress, surrounded by shadows and dangerous promises, Queenie Goldstein wondered, for the thousandth time, at what moment her life had taken this turn.
She should have been by Jacob’s side.
She should have been home, listening to Tina’s firm voice telling her that everything would be all right, even when nothing suggested it would be. She should have been anywhere but this cold castle, where every corridor seemed to breathe secrets, where every step echoed like a warning that there was no way out.
That was the lie she told herself in those first days, as she tried to ignore the tightness in her chest, the constant feeling of having taken a step she could never undo. Because if she admitted, even for a second, that maybe there had been no choice, that maybe she had only been pushed into this by desperation and empty promises, then everything would crumble.
Grindelwald had welcomed her, but Nurmengard had never been hers.
And yet, there was something there that made sense. A barely perceptible detail, like a whisper in the midst of the storm.
Or perhaps, like a pair of dark eyes that seemed to see her better than anyone ever had.
Her name was a sweet poison, a danger Queenie couldn’t avoid. Vinda was always there, in the wrong moments, looking at her in a way that burned, that provoked. They didn’t speak much, but the game had already begun before either of them even realized it.
Perhaps, Queenie thought, the problem had never been Nurmengard.
Perhaps the problem was the hunger growing inside her.
A hunger for something new. Something wrong. Something that, if she wasn’t careful, would end up consuming her completely.
i think i'm gonna post the chapters on ao3, wattpad and spirit or just ao3 idk. what do y'all think?
