She’s never really with me. I mean, she is physically, but mentally? I’m not so sure. Even after finding out about the Initiative, knowing that we have some common ground, the same goal, still, she’s distant.
It’s hard. I’m trying, I really am. I reach out, and she shrinks back.
But when they touch me, bite me, feed on me, I know that I am needed. I know it’s not right. But how else can I feel wanted?
She has me beat, in strength, experience, tactics. The world needs her. So, who needs me? They do. They need my blood.

And although Kelly already said it, thanks for doing the make up correctly!
