I've been here a long time. I think I have been here about six months, trapped in a limbo where I can't even peek at the boys to see how they are.

Habit keeps me locked in the room that Vinny and I first came to, the one without any ways to escape. I mean, for humans. I definitely could escape if I so desired, but it would mean that our agreement with Habit is now off.

And I'm not letting that happen.

I'm simply placed in a bad situation here. They would be dying or dead. This way, he can torture me all he wants, but he can't hurt them.

Over the span of time I've been in here, I've been trying desperately to reach at least one of them to see how they are doing. But I think Habit knows that, as he is always blocking their minds out.

Imagine it this way: if I was on my phone, I could only connect to WiFi that it's used and knows the existing password. Otherwise, I would have to "hack" in. It's the same idea with the boys  -  only Habit can turn off my web connection, making it impossible to reach out.

I don't know if that helps or hinders your attempts at knowing what the hell I am talking about, but there it is. I am just desperate to reach somebody else.

And one day, I do.

It comes in the form of a long-lost half-sister.

One that I don't think even Habit knows exists. Another of his hell spawn. Another girl, probably the only other girl in existence.

She reaches out to me, and soon, I have earned a sister. One I must keep from my mind when my father is around. She knows of him, but not all of what he does. She doesn't know that he is simply grooming people to get the superior host body.

And now, it's my job to make sure she is safe.

I've got to keep my family safe, as best I can. But not before I keep the others safe too. And one day, maybe I will be safe from him too.
