"How are you tonight, little Rabbit?" Habit says, smiling at me from the meat suit of a random guy. He looks menacing in the outfit of a tall and dark guy covered in dirt and blood.
"Go to hell," I snarl.
"I'd love to," he says, making his voice sweet. "But I'd like to take you too, Pandora."
"My mom was no match for you, but do you really think the same for me?" I ask him, my voice unbroken and steady for once.
"Do you know something I don't?"
"I know many things you don't."
"I'm sure you do," he says.
Pandora? Are you there?
Not now, he's here.
I keep my face emotionless. Despite Lilith (yes that is her name) being here, I have never felt more alone. And now I just need to get out of here and find her. Maybe together with the boys, we can kill Habit.
If only it was that simple.
"Leave me alone for once."
"But I thought you were going stir crazy?" He smiles. I feel my skin crawl.
"I'm not breaking the contract between us," I say.
"I know, little Pandora. But do you really want to spend eternity here?"
"Do you?"
He cocks his head. "You really are something, you know that? I gave up so much for you ... and now here we are."
"All because of you, I might add," I snap.
"I'm sure you can blame me for everything."
"Of course."
"Well, I'll be off. Things to do, people to kill, you know how it is." He winks at me and vanishes.
I sigh and curl up in a ball and cry.
