Two (Rephaim)
"NO!"
Such pain.
From Stevie Rae.
Why should I care?
What is she to me?
And fear.
"It is all your fault..."
Wait.
Did her friends finally find out about me?
About us?
"It is all your fault, dear son of Kalona..."
Where had that come from?
Darkness.
What is this?
Why is she getting involved with Darkness?
She has chosen Light!
I must go to her!
"But what if she is getting hurt because of you, Ravenmocker?"
Is that it?
Because of me?
What is this feeling?
Pain.
But I am not physically injured.
So what is this?
Wait.
No.
It couldn't be.
Love?
No.
Stevie Rae may have saved my life.
And I saved hers.
But she cannot love me.
Because I am a repulsive Ravenmocker.
A monster.
I must leave.
She will be safe then.
"Rephaim!"
What is this?
FEAR.
"It is all your fault Rephaim. You are a monster. Stevie Rae will never love you. Never."
"I will go away, and you will become safe. I promise you Stevie Rae."
I love you.
With my wing still broken, I began to walk into the night.
Knowing that Stevie Rae will be safe.
If I leave.
FEAR.
You'll find someone else.
And you will love them.
"Goodbye, my love."
