Monster.
Villain.
Miscreant.
Demon.
Evil.
I have been all that and much more. It's not something that happened in the past decade. I was born like that. Born to bend people and circumstances to my will. To rule the world with an iron fist. To be unhinged. Two most important women in my life, Althea and my rose, kept me grounded. There was nothing keeping me from letting the true nature of monstrosity take control of me once they were gone. The light was permanently gone and darkness was all that was left with me. I accepted the darkness like a second skin. Turned it into a fortress around me no one could breach. It's not just an element of me, it is me.
I have forever been driven by an insatiable appetite that propels me to possess, control, and dominate. But I was capable of empathizing. Even if the shrink Althea took me to at the age of 6 when she'd found the detailed and graphic blueprint of how I would torture her on-and-off abusive boyfriend David and kill him said I have none. No kid my age would plan something like it and with meticulous precision that if gone under effect, it would result in 99.9% death of the target he had said. When he had questioned me about it, I had shown zero panic, remorse, or guilt of having been caught. If anything I was glad that my mother would understand my feelings towards that scumbag and leave him for his life's safety.
