"Even a beast can be human sometimes, and even a monster once had humanity"
Her words drilled into my head like a second skull.
I expected her to cower in my presence, show the fear I so desperately want to drag out of her. That was my original goal the moment she stepped foot into this room. I can see the fear in her eyes but yet the raw confidence that came from it, she's shaking but she doesn't acknowledge it, she's suffocating in my presence because of my deadly aura, and yet she acts as if it's just a morning breeze.
I want to drag more out of her… get the information I need but yet here I am having a conversation, a conversation I didn't plan, nothing good ever comes out from an unplanned event.
I couldn't take my eyes off her, everything else was boring in my vision, and yet just one look at her and I want to unravel her every secret, and suddenly it's not boring.
Am I enjoying her company?
Fuck no.
