This is the way it has been for my people, for as long as anyone could remember. Each new life brought with it the threat that the creature posed. Each new life could be snatched away from us too early, too harshly, and far too cruelly.

when your past knocks at the door, old wounds will resurface, past weakens you, many doubts and secrets are unveiled, drama will knock you out, questions will be asked, rejects will hold the power to break and the once in power will be begging for mercy, for one last chance to redeem themselves.
