Run, Starlight

The Royal Ballet Presents, Book 3

The Royal Ballet proudly presents the return of a beloved classic: Giselle.

She twirls over a pointe, majestic and irresistible, translating her pain into art. I watch her every day from the shadows, waiting for the time to strike.

One move to the next, she's a star, my Marcella.

My brother says I'm obsessed. I shouldn't desire her as much as I do. Only he knows the kind of monster I am, but now it's too late for salvation.

She's mine.

He watches me with narrowed eyes, trying to protect her from me. If I'm bad, he's not much better. The right thing to do is to walk away, both of us, but we were never experts on doing the right thing.

To save her, he follows. To have her, I lie. We wrap our little star in a web of deception. She has no idea what lengths we will go to take what we want.

By the time she understands, it's already too late.

Run Starlight is an MFM Giselle retelling with dark themes. It's a standalone and can be enjoyed independently.
