"It's called the Abyss. Common amongst gifted with mind related abilities, it is a state in which the individual is able to use his/her gift at frighteningly optimal levels and for a long stretch without stopping. The downside of being in this state is the temporary loss of emotion, conscience and in the worst case, lack of recognition of loved ones. A Gifted in the abyss may attack loved ones the same way as he would an enemy."
Except from "The Gifted Mind" by Irish vampire scientist Dr Alice Kerry.
Ally’s POV
I'd never truly believed the stories about Aiden Thorne. I didn't even believe him when he'd said he was a monster.
But right now, I completely understood what they'd seen that had made even the fiercest men cower at the mere mention of his name.
He didn't look any
