I stare at the beast that was once Salem. I don't hear the voice I know. I don't smell his scent. I just see an angry beast. Was I always supposed to be rejected by him? Was this the plan for me? Was I always supposed to have Damien cinto my life? My eyes shift from Salem to Damien "Are you okay?" Damien whispers towith a frown "Yes." I mutter. "The smell is a bit much, I just need sair.

"Did you fall down?" "No." "Do you need help? "No." "Just give her a few minutes." I hear Jenson shout from nearby. "She's weird like this." 'I'm not weird."
