HER POV

When I was a kid my grandmother used to say "to defeat a monster sometimes we have to become a greater monster ourselves". At that time I didn't understand her because in the fairy tales my parents read to me monsters were defeated by angels.

After 16 years I finally understood each and every word she meant. Before I even realized I became a version of myself which my 10 year old self would have considered the most horrific monster of all.

HIS POV

Some people believe that the strongest emotions in this world are anger, love and fear. But if someone asks me, my answer would be guilt.
Unlike other emotions guilt eats you alive. It slowly slides inside the veins and by the time those around you know. You have already been drowned in a never ending ocean.
