That night, Kaela sat alone.
"I'm a monster…"
"No."
A soft voice answered.
She turned.
A girl stood behind her.
Same face.
Same eyes.
But gentle.
"Who… are you?"
"I'm you," the girl said. "The part you're trying to kill."
Kaela shook her head.
"I don't want this power!"
"But you need it."
The girl stepped closer.
"To protect him."
Kaela's heart tightened.
