THEY CALL HIM RECKLESS
That was an understatement.
Sebastian was the most attractive, dangerous, horrifying man in the entire state of Washington.
He had secrets, secrets in that dark past of him, and I always struggled to understand his motive.

The car ride home was completely silent; at one point in time, Sebastian stopped to get some food at some deli shop—the puppy was asleep on my lap—and he'd been gone for about two minutes while I stared out the window, lost in thought.
Sebastian's doppelganger... North.
I didn't know how he related to Sebastian... he could've been the cliché evil twin for all I know, but... he could've been a shapeshifter, a reflection of him somehow; that's how North viewed himself... a reflection of Sebastian's bad side?
Was it even possible for fallen angels to split into different forms?
I closed my eyes tightly, setting my head on the side of the wall as I waited for Sebastian to come back.
God I was so tired... but I wasn't sure if I could sleep again.
Sebastian... good or bad? North... was he Sebastian or was he... someone else?
I sighed through my nose, the cold hands tightening around my throat, and I shrank into myself, hoping they'd let me breathe.
I wasn't sad that I watched that girl get killed... maybe I was in denial still.
I wonder when I'd stop being in denial.
But the doors to the deli opened, and Sebastian came out, smiling at me when he saw me through the windshield.
The moment I saw one of his runes poking through his jacket and swirling up his neck, I settled back into myself.
He opened his car door, handing me To-Go bags, and I happily took them, setting them on my lap as Sebastian buckled his seatbelt and started the car.
Five minutes passed as we drove in silence, and I could tell it was crawling through him like bugs.
"So..." Sebastian said finally, making me glance up, "are you going to tell me what happened?"
I stared back out the windshield, eyes darkening. "Nothing," I lied, "I just was walking and got cold... and this dog was walking alone in the streets, and it was cold... you know."
I didn't know why I lied... Was I saving myself or my pride? Or was I afraid of Sebastian's reaction when I told him I found out his doppelganger's name?
I felt him eyeing me suspiciously, though he seemed to give in and stared back out the windshield.
