Erik/Raoul

It was aggravating to say the least. It wasn't as if he didn't have

enough problems. Nature had not exactly been kind to him on many

fronts but he had been certain that, in this, there would be no

derision. He would ignore the nagging doubt. The young man was a

strange distraction, nothing more. An annoyance that stood in his way

to what was rightfully his and nothing more. He would ignore it, for

the sake of his dwindling sanity. He would love the girl. He would be

like everyone else.

The boy would have to die, of course.
