  I was frightened. My feet had led me deep into these woods. I was all alone.

  Nothing but the sounds of the night to sooth me. But the thoughts raging in my mind wouldn't allow me to relax. What the hell was going on? How did I hurt Jack? What the hell am I? Why me?

  I'm so confused but curious. But curiosity killed the cat, and I don't wish to end up like that. It was so confusing. I had touched Jack before and it didn't hurt. It actually soothed us. I suddenly thought back to the article about Doves and Crows. It said I have control over emotions. Maybe when we touch our emotions fuel the sensation we give one another. In the moment I touched him a few weeks ago, I was calm and content. As a result I caused the burn he produced to become dull and actually felt better. I could only test one more thing. My control over rain. Its funny, this made me think of Sophia so much, I remember things she used to tell me. But thats besides the point. I needed to cry being frustrated helped, I allowed tears to flow but they weren't sad tears. They were angry, they were mad. It didn't just rain. It stormed . And I stood in the eye of it. Not effected at all. Just angry, confused, and lonely. This lasted about ten minutes. I sat down on a tree stump empty inside.

   What was this life I am living?

I wished it wasn't me, I wished someone else could take my place. Who would want to willingly live in a world or a place where you are controlled by a small family of people who happen to govern the entire world. It's funny actually. A mere 6 versus probably around 6 billion others.

    I need an outlet. I feel like a record stuck on repeat. Every time it gets good, it goes bad. This pattern is terrible.

  I walked back to the Castle alone, surprised no one had been looking for me yet, funny.

    Walking through the chamber halls with my hair a mess, me heels in my hands. I was wrecked. I looked around noticing the damage from my anger earlier. Trees were knocked over, windows were broken.

   I decided I should go check on Jack, despite my anger I was still a bit sympathetic for how I hurt him.

Usually by now the guards would've stopped me but everyone was tending to the mess I caused.

   As I pushed the door open and as I did so some girl stumbled out, holding her clothes over her half naked body. "Don't say a word, or I'll have your head" Jack spewed as she scurried off.

   It hit me. I could use this to leave, this was some type of treason right?

"You..?...You cheated on me?" I stepped all the way in, letting him see me.

  His face was emotionless, nor was he bothered by any of this.

"Yes, I needed to let some steam off. We aren't married yet" he shrugged, throwing his shirt over his shoulders.

"B-But you wouldn't even let me hug Sam without accusing me of dating him. You're sick" I let out. Today was not my day.

"You cannot just keep me around for your pleasure" I hissed, and he chuckled.

"Sweetheart, you're right. That's why you aren't here for that"

"I know, I'm here because I pose a threat to you and your kind. I could- I could kill all of you! "  I yelled.

He snapped his head back in my direction, his eyes burning red.

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me. I'm stronger than everyone in here. You, your father. I'm what you need on your side simply because without me on your team. You're dead" I let the words just spill from my lips.

"You don't know anyth-" he stopped himself. "That's not real"

"What you think you know, it isn't real. People who think that are immature and believe whatever they hear" he lied.

"You believe them don't you?" He questioned.

  "You believe I'm a monster?" He stepped closer to me. "You believe I am evil" he got even closer.

"A red eyed, killer" he danced around the word not daring to say it.

    "A demon?"
