Thirty-One
I wake up slowly in chains. I'm back in the room. Ugh. My head hurts like a lot. I smell like blood and fire. Oh god. Karou and the others saw me almost kill a pregnant woman. They saw me almost destroy her. I would've dragged her to the Nematan. I wince. The man comes in.
"I'm sorry." I say to him.
"It's the demon inside you that is to blame for this." He says.
"I still feel like it's my fault." I say.
"Heh. I wish I could give you some good news, but we both know there's no cure." He says.
I nod.
"Is this how it ends for me?" I look up at him.
He nods. Heh. I have no complains except for almost hurting Karou. I regret the five years I was being controlled by him, but the rest of my life has been pretty good. I look down. I know this life wasn't perfect, but it was good enough for me.
"When will..." I start.
"Tomorrow the last Hellhound will die." He leaves the room.
I let out a breath.
