Only she and I reside here, on opposite sides, both craving the same thing. I witnessed it in her eyes. I let it fester for years. I allowed myself to think I was different from them. I was wrong. I tried to resist. I tried to be different. But blood was thicker than water. I didn’t just want her. I needed her. I needed to own every single inch of her. She crooked her finger, beckoning me, and I drifted to her like helpless sails in the wind. A flicker inside me roared to life. She’d woken the beast. The flames burned bright, promising destruction to all those who obstructed our path. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
