There were so many crimes I coainst every moral I’d been raised with Because that’s what va we know and believe that we’re not only at the top of the food chain but that we’re weak if we don’t take what’s on offer

And this vampire was told he was at the top of that top So many violent acts, there’s so ht out of love with me if she had the full picture

The one thing I ironically succeeded at was getting her to admit that she loves me And that was fucked, too, because it meant that she ca that s every step of the way but because she loved me and because I made promises to her she ultimately trusted me to keep her safe

And I fucking failed her every single time

And now she’s here, beside me, empty My little cherry bomb now has vacant eyes, just like all the rest Kyla is empty My Kyla as so full of life, of fire, of fireworks I can’t feel her And the silence, the emptiness is loud

I wish I were e with it, spilling over with cold eret

Because ofasshole Because I was stupid enough to think I had nant, and then because I underestimated Adrian Constantin that was ripped away

That piece of us of the both of us… I felt it the minute it happened It existed and it was real

Before it happened all I could think of was how I didn’t want it because it’d put her at risk but as soon as conception happened I felt the shift and wanted to find soone All of it The life our love created along with everything in Kyla that made her Kyla

The more I think about what they did, all they did, the more I wish I’d taken ers around Constantin’s heart I want him to pay for what he’s done I want him to pay for what I haven’t been able to do

She’s empty and she’s been fed on by not one but two vampires anted to take her fro fail

The idea of any other teeth on her drove me to where I wanted out of my skin, wanted to bury anyone who touched her that way, the way that was only supposed to be for ht to the fiery hot pits at the centre of the earth And it happened because I didn’t stop it
