Destroyed Souls (challenge: n/a)
Trapped. Trapped like a wild animal, bound by what he is, betrayed but those he once thought friends worth having.
The cold eyes of the child once thought to be good, the child who once thought to do was right. The lovely girl who became a psychopath, longing only for the blood of enemies and adrenaline ringing in her chest. The boy who became a predator. The mindless alien doing only what he is told. The boy who went from motherless to ruthless, conscienceless...
And Cassie.
She who was pure. She who could not look him in the eye, she who felt most acutely that they were betraying him.
The hologram of Erek King flickered, faded and died, and was replaced by a replication of Cassie.
The only Animorph he felt he could impersonate without destroying his own soul further.
