He ignored her desperate cries, the tears streaming down her face, the pure terror in her eyes. It didn't affect him anymore. And he never really cared if it did. Now she knew that he wasn't the kind, caring person she once thought he was. Now she knew that he was a monster. But it wasn't always this way...
