In The Dark1111

Mothers were supposed to love unconditionally. Mine didn't. In fact, she tried to kill me on my thirteenth birthday, when she saw just how different I was. My dad saved my life that night. He also took her away on an extended vacation, leaving me with an ever-absent uncle. Five years later, solitude was something I lived by. I had to because I was different and people tended not to cope well with the unusual. In fact, they hated me for it, were even scared of me because of it. I thought I was meant to live alone, until Isaac Grey took notice of me. He changed my life, taught me I wasn't the only one who was different, and I didn't need to be alone. But with love comes sacrifice and then pain. Could I ever escape living in the dark?

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Waiting

"That stupid, cold-hearted leech. How dare he make me feel this way. Why would he do this? Crap on toast, this sucks, like he does." A laugh escaped me. "No, I can't break. I have to wait, and by God, he'd better show up and tell me he was just conning her. Yeah, and then... then I'll rip him a new arsehole. After that, I'll enjoy shredding her to pieces with my claws for ever thinking she could have him and for being a part of his past. Why in the hell did he ever get with her in the first place? She's nothing but a ho-bag hooker. Ordering him around, she's crazy." I shrugged. "I could offer to beat the craziness out of her. Yeah, that would be nice of me, and I'd get to enjoy it at the same time."

"Leila, you need to calm down. Beating MaryJane will get you nowhere. She's strong, very strong."

Hell, had I said all of that aloud? Oh, well.

"Thanks for the advice, Xavier, but I can handle myself. Wait." I stopped and turned to face him. "You know her?"
