You liked it. “I didn’t.” Didn’t you? Shapes formed in the miasma, faces, bodies, the vampires I’d burned alive in the Hall. Their screams tore through the silence until I had to shut my eyes. When I looked again, they were gone. Ah, Illusions. They were all just illusions. Accept the monster you are. Accept your uniqueness. It’s what sets you apart. It’s what makes you even more powerful. My throat tightened. I shook my head, whispering continuously to the air with a trembling breath. “I’m not a monster.”

A reminder of the woman who once cradled me close and promised monsters weren’t real. Instead I find only proof that they are. And that sometimes, they live inside the very walls meant to keep them out.

I told her then she smiled at me before she said, "You know! I would've liked if not for the fact that you're a monster!'' Damn, she's a savage, I would like that if I didn't know that she was about to kill me. "Well, I don't see a monster in here but you." I told her, and she answered me faster than I thought. "Well, no monster can see himself without a mirror. Maybe I am just a mirror to who you really are. For the first time, I feel like I was lost in my own words … I mean, somehow she wasn't lying, I deep inside was no more than a monster.

When Summer's mother came to look for her, she could never forget her mother’s frightened and despairing gaze. From that gaze, she knew that every part of her mother was screaming that she was a monster. Yes, she was a monster. “Little monster, you should hide well. If they find you, they will take you, kill you, and lock you up in the dark.” “Little monster, you must not be discovered…” She was a monster. She was like a second soul living in a person’s body, a demon. “What’s the matter? Can’t sleep?” When Jasper came back, he saw Summer sitting curled up beside the bed. His heart ached when he saw this.

My thoughts, my ability to feel like myself even as my body lay so far away on the other side of reality all comes from my inner sense of self, my core, my soul. Is that all our inner void is, our soul? And if that is true, then the monster that reaches out of me, that has destroyed all of those lives…is me? “Oh gods!” saying my first words since dying, my words drift away. “I am the monster. I was always the monster.” Which means I have the power to control it.

In that silence, I hear the truth I have been running from since the moment my children's eyes turned cold: I am the monster now. And monsters, I have learned, die alone.

Sullivan Ricci is an asshole, if I haven't mentioned it. Cielo clearly hasn't realized his father is home but, as Ricci's footsteps bring him closer to his bedroom, I don't feel anything but anxiety for the kid because it's too late for him to run. Maybe he can hide but he'd have to hear him and he's stupid enough to go into that room neither of us is allowed in with music blaring in his ears. Fucking idiot. Ricci's voice is just outside the closet now, and I hear him tell whoever he's talking to that he has to go. I press my back to the wall, closing my eyes like that will somehow make me invisible because if Ricci finds me, I'm done for.

I need to get it together. Oh God! What’s happening to me? But I already know. Deep down, past the fear and the lust, a quiet voice inside me speaks the truth. I am no longer human. I am now a monster.

Her heart ached as Elizah turned her gaze out the window. "I’m sure the perpetrator wasn’t Liam. The police caught the wrong person, Julie. I don’t want to live like this. They let the real perpetrator walk free while Liam is imprisoned!" Elizah’s voice was heavy and filled with anger. Julie fully understood her sister’s feelings but could do nothing except try to calm her down. Julie fell silent, recalling something: "monsters." Yes, Elizah screamed "monsters," meaning there was more than one perpetrator. "Monsters. What do you mean by monsters? Did you feel there was more than one person?"
