Hunting.

The prey is in the darkness. Home is in the comfort of the darkness.

'Where is Home?' you ask.

In the darkness, of course.

They can't understand why I don't want them with me. I want to be alone. No, that's not true. Lonliness is the sacariest thing there is. I learned that a long time ago, and I won't think of who said the same thing.

I don't want to be alone. But I can't have them around. They don't understand. They don't know, don't see, won't believe, but it doesn't matter. Only he would understand. And I won't tell them of the freedom I feel whenever I let go.

My mate is gone- he left me in smoke, and I wish I had burst into ashes then and there. I gave myself to him, time and time again. Be he ignores the connection and screws with his idea for me: a normal life.

Normal.

What is normal when Darkness is the home? In darkness is Home.

But he is gone.

He left me, hollowed.

He. Is. Gone. I can't seem to understand it.

But I know this: Only the Hunt is left.

And even it is empty...
