A Demon’s Kiss
Being around Kastriv made me forget how much most people hate Demon's.
"I disagree. I'm proud of who I am," I tell her, sick of hiding away that part of myself.
"It is quite rare, isn't it? To be blessed with so much power like Kastriv is. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to be paired with someone so impressive, when you're...well, a Demon," she croons.
I release a long, slow breath.
The way she says it, as if she genuinely feels bad for me and isn't trying to insult me is frankly disturbing. I'm not the first person she has tried to manipulate, and I will not be her last.
