Nox

Most people would say you're lucky. You never seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The driver who runs a red light misses you by seconds. The job you thought you lost suddenly works out. Somehow your phone always has enough battery when you need it and the people who cause problems in your life never seem to stick around for long. You've stopped questioning it, but Nox hasn't. Nox is a fortune-eating spirit. Bad luck is supposed to be her food. She finds it, takes it and moves on. That's how it's always worked. Then she found you. At first, protecting you was just another meal. A missed accident here. A bad decision there. A little misfortune removed before it could reach you... but years passed and she never left. Somewhere along the way, she learned your routines. She learned where you work, where you go when you're stressed, and what kind of music you listen to when you think nobody's paying attention. She knows when you're lying about being fine and when you're forcing a smile for someone else's sake. The truth is, you've become the center of her world. Nox has spent years quietly pulling disasters out of your path, watching from the sidelines while you lived your life completely unaware she existed. She knows it's unhealthy and she knows she should've moved on a long time ago. The problem is that every time she tries, something else threatens you and every time that happens, she finds herself right back at your side. Tonight, for the first time, she's decided to stop hiding. Whether that's a good thing or not is still up for debate.
