'' I turn cruel when I am empty. If I cannot be loved, I must be feared. ''
Kathryn Elizabeth Darcy was all blade. Girl turned weapon. There were no round edges, just overall sharpness. She worried parents and people her age watched her with a kind of morbid fascination, because there was the girl who died, spit in the devil's face, and came back.
Realistically, she only came back from London, but that didn't match her mythical reputation.
She hadn't missed the Outer Banks. There's a kind of filth that sticks to her the second she lands, and she knows it all too well. It was an old friend. In London, she barely passed as human, there was no hope for that here.
Filth calls to filth. Kooks are talking themselves hoarse about her. If Sarah Cameron was their princess, Kathryn was the forsaken queen who came back for more. Her mother would be proud; there's nothing quite like obsession. She's their new shiny toy. They love to pin a crown on her. They love to trample her to the ground. Most people have a story about her. The others are begging to get one.
