"What's your name?" "Manon. Manon Dark" He laughed. I frowned "What's so funny," I demanded slightly perturbed by his immediate outburst. "How long have you been a Night Caller?" It seemed such an innocent question, but there was nothing virtuous about it. It wasn't a question, it was a condemnation. An accusation. I took a step back aghast, that he'd ask me that in such a forth-right way. I couldn't help the few strands of pride I had left shredding into pieces. It's not like I asked to be an evil creature, I was just a curious child in the wrong place at the wrong time.
