Why do I feel so close to him even though he doesn't remember my name? My mind is filled with his thoughts and feelings toward me. How can I be certain that in an alternate universe we could be lovers? I think about him when the nights are cold and I feel lonely which happens to be all the time. I like the way that he's so calm about everything. Me on the other hand, I'm just a mess of anxiety and fear, and loneliness. But he is so calm and composed. How can he be so calm and composed? I'm just a baobhan sith and he is just a highlander waiting for me to slit his throat which I will probably do right about now.
I am forced to kill him even though I don't want to because I love the taste of blood. I hate being a baobhan sith. In my mind I am just a normal human. At least I was a normal human before I got lost in the woods and came across a baobhan sith who turned me into one of her own with just one bite. Now I roam the wood seeking out my prey. I killed him. Why did I kill him? He was my fiance.
The end.
