Unveiling the Wolf

Write a story where a character introduced initially as benign or even friendly, over time, progressively peels back their façade to reveal their villainy.

Subverting expectations is a powerful storytelling tool, and introducing a villain in a non-villainous role at the start of your story can certainly keep your reader hooked. This prompt delves into themes of deception, trust, and transformation. Consider: How does this gradual development affect their relationship with other characters? How does this slow reveal contribute towards building suspense?
