I've always loved him...maybe a little more than I should have. He was my superior; simply everything about him showed he had power. He was strong yet at the same time he could break just like everyone else. He may not have acted human but deep down...deep down somewhere I can see the human in him. I loved the way he'd smile even if it was rare it gave me hope at the best moments possible. The way his alluring purple eyes held all the emotion needed while his face remained emotionless. Everything about him...everything about him was so attractive to me. He was a perfect mess, my perfect mess. He was all mine. I didn't deserve it despite that he still stayed by my side. Of course though, that's all in the past now.

Killing used to be something she did for money, status, anything really. But now it's become her drug. She is addicted to killing. Maybe it was one of the only reasons Lina had been allowed to join Contagion, or maybe it was the extensive knowledge of poisons and antidotes. Either way her life changed from the moment she stepped in the door of the building. And then like that it ended when everything came crashing down upon them all. Will Lina find what can truly save her from her long torturous cycle? Or like everything else in her life will it go wrong like everything else?
