(Keefe POV)

"Where were you last night?" asked my stern father. Do I make an excuse or tell him the truth? An excuse would sound like I don't do my job, the truth would mean I spent time with the victim but didn't kill them. Truth it is, I guess. "I was with Sophie," I replied. Dad raised one eyebrow and slicked back his greasy hair. "And. Did. You. Kill. Her?" he pressed, gritting his teeth with every word. I shook my head. Why did you have to kiss her, Keefe? Now you're in love with her. Now she's in love with you! You're never going to get over her if you kill her or not. Tears welled in my eyes. "I don't wanna kill her!" I cried. A firm hand gripped my shoulder. "Get over it, son. This is your career. This is who you are." I shook my head furiously. "No, Dad! This isn't who I am! I wish you would see that I'm a boy who wants to live a normal life, WITHOUT killing his girlfriend! I want to hang out with my friends and play games and have fun! I don't want to live with the constant stress, constant worry that someday they'll be dead because of me! Why can't you just let me be NORMAL!?" I stop ranting and catch my breath. His icy eyes pierced my skin and bones. "Girlfriend?" he asked after a long silence. Uh oh. I gulped. "Now who is this girlfriend you speak of, son?" he questioned. "I have a name, Dad. I'm Keefe. And I wish I wasn't a Sencen, but that is what I was born into. And I regret that. And my girlfriend is Sophie. Sophie Foster."
