I can be patient — if I make a great effort.

Honestly — I’ve seen corpses with better color. I was concerned that I might have to avenge your murder.

It makes me… anxious… to be away from you.

Her scent hit me like a wrecking ball, like a battering ram. There was no image violent enough to encapsulate the force of what happened to me in that moment. In that instant, I was nothing close to the human I’d once been; no trace of the shreds of humanity I’d managed to cloak myself in remained. I was a predator. She was my prey. There was nothing else in the whole world but that truth.

It’s not only your company I crave! Never forget that. Never forget I am more dangerous to you than I am to anyone else.

Who were you, an insignificant little girl, to chase me from the place I wanted to be?

In a few moments, there would be nothing left in me that would reflect the years I’d spent with my creator, my mentor, my father in all the ways that counted. My eyes would glow red as a devil’s; all likeness would be lost forever.
