Chapter 66

Aurelia

I n my head, a woman screams.

She does not stop. Her agony is infinite. Her agony is madness.

And so, I must retreat into the darkness, far, far away from her, to where the pain recedes into nothing because everything becomes nothing.

I sway in the darkness. I sway in the shadows. I sway in a place that is only for me and my despair. There is nothing left to me. Of me. I have no desire to claw my way back to the reality of those screams. There is nothing left for me there except pain. I have no parents. I have no mates who would want me. I have no friends. These things are only memories. They exist in the past. And the past can’t be real.

I just want everything to stop.
