I was watching when the Enforcers arrived. I saw them go into Rosa__. There were so many I__ never have gotten close enough to do anything. I could hear them talking about what they__ do to you as they went in and I thought I__ lost you._ His palm presses against my cheek, stroking away stray strands of hair, __ve, I__e never been so scared. The thought that I__ never get to see you again, to apologise for the way I treated you, I couldn__ bear it. When they dragged you out I was so relieved, knowing that I had a chance to get you back._ He squeezes me tightly against his body as he admits, __ can__ lose you Eve. Them taking you made everything so clear. I love you and I thought I wasn__ going to get the chance to prove how much. I couldn__ let that happen.

He places me on the concrete floor, expressionless as he studies me. __t__l be easier next time,_ he whispers, __illing on command._ 1352 hunkers in front of me, his brown eyes boring into mine. __hey__l desensitise you through exposure or drive you mad by it. Either way, sooner or later the death will cease to matter to you. All that remains to be seen is if you__l retain your sanity when that happens.___s that what they did to you?_ I snarl at him, my fear of the truth in his admission urging me to anger.__o,_ 1352 answers simply, __hey didn__ need to because I__e been theirs from the moment I woke up._ He rests a palm over my chest, __ou though, you still have a heart. You__e not a corpse made animate. They need to kill you before they can possess you but death is not always the stilling of a pulse. Sometimes it takes the more complex task of destroying a soul to kill a person, rather than simply sending it on its way. They need to corrupt you because they need you to behave in a way that overshadows everything you__e ever stood for previously, only then can they claim you.

His palm presses against my cheek, stroking away stray strands of hair, __ve, I__e never been so scared. The thought that I__ never get to see you again, to apologise for the way I treated you, I couldn__ bear it. When they dragged you out I was so relieved, knowing that I had a chance to get you back._ He squeezes me tightly against his body as he admits, __ can__ lose you Eve. Them taking you made everything so clear. I love you and I thought I wasn__ going to get the chance to prove how much. I couldn__ let that happen.

My palm presses against his cool cheek as I stare intently at him, willing him to understand, __ couldn__ have forgiven myself, couldn__ have gone on knowing I__ let you suffer when it was in my power to take that pain away._ I pause to smile sadly at him, __nyway, it__ done now.__e shakes his head in one last denial but there__ nothing he can do. Crimson tears fill his eyes again as he whispers softly, __iss me?
