Something More Than

She looks like a child, but for some reason I think: 'she is not'. Maybe her body is still that of a child but inside she ismurderous and tainted. And the darkness inside is mirrored in those black eyes. They don't reflect the light, those eyes, they absorb it and so they seem like deep pits of endless night. They seem to suck all the goodness from around her, and yet she seems so innocent. But inside she has become so dark and full of death that she has become something more than a child.

But still, not an adult.

She scares me. I hate myself for being afraid because sometimes I feel I am afraid of everything, and yet...

I feel I have good reason to be afraid of this girl, and I know my guardian agrees. There is something wrong with the child.

And still, I hate myself for being so afraid. I hate mself for hating myself. I hate myself for too many things.
