I truly have the devil inside.I try to be good. To do my best to ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges.But every day it gets harder.I thought family could help.

“I made a bargain with a monster. A vow to save both our lives. I thought our commitment would stay true. It didn’t.” I’ve spent my entire life alone. I’m well used to loneliness and the endless pain of having no one. Sure, we made a bargain. We shared our secrets and made a vow. But I warned her not to do one tiny thing. One very important thing. For a while, she obeyed me. Until the night she didn’t. And now…the connection we shared? That alliance we forged? It’s broken. I’m broken... more“I made a bargain with a monster.

“I thought I was strong enough to survive this awful nightmare. I did my best to take back my power and refused to let my heart fall. Only problem is…my heart is an idiot.” It only took one droplet of blood to forever change me.Her blood.The taste of it. The heat of it.I swallowed her down and devoured her. For a while, it was enough.My monster was content. I believed I’d found where I belonged.But now…that droplet is no longer enough. I want rivers of it. Oceans of it... more“I thought I was strong enough to survive this awful nightmare. I did my best to take back my power and refused to let my heart fall.
