[ a terrible tale. this is far removed from the stories he had read; set, in them, had not been a victim of human men. ]
i am so sorry for what happened in your world. to you. to your women.
lexi talks sometimes about how humans destroy each other, how we're no better than the vampires. maybe he's right.
maybe anyone who has power will use it to hurt other people, and power itself is the problem.
i don't want to be that way. i don't want to hurt anyone else, i'd want them not to go through what i did.
but i'm not perfect. it took me a long time to see lexi as anything other than another vampire. longer still, to trust him. and still now i only trust that he cares about me, not that he would do any good for the rest of my people. i'm bitter enough. but that's not how i want to live. what's the point in having freedom if i'm still living in that cage?
