"It seems... It's harder for me to keep you out of my head than your hands from the handcuffs."

The owl had never cared for the thrill of the hunt—not truly. Not until the thief appeared, a storm of black feathers and mocking eyes, and everything changed. Now, Athena could not stop herself from seeking her out, compelled by a pull she refused to name.

It began like any ordinary pursuit—just another petty criminal trying to outsmart the police. But she wasn’t ordinary. Not even close. Every move the crow made, every calculated escape, sharpened Athena’s focus, stirred a tension she hadn’t felt in years. Her journal, ink-stained and meticulous, held witness to it all: the fleeting glimpses, the missed captures, the grudging admiration hiding beneath her discipline.

Each encounter carved deeper into her mind. Every flight, every rooftop confrontation, every sharp glance exchanged under the moonlight—Athena’s obsession grew, precise and relentless, like her wings slicing the night. She would not wait. She would not hesitate. The crow’s shadow was hers to chase, hers to claim—if only she could admit it.
