'Blood stained the coats of the innocent' -Mark of Bates ~ "You don't understand Carmen." He growled angrily and I narrowed my eyes at him. "Please do explain" he sighed "Because of me this mark- the mark you bare here" he softly traced the mark just slightly on my shoulder and on my neck "the urge to destroy will take over every fibre of your being. What you once thought were your priorities with come second to this rage that now consumes you.... Because of me."
