By the time Thursday rolled around, I wasn’t myself at all. To be honest, I hadn’t been myself since the spawn made her appearance, and I needed to change that. I need to carry on the way I always had, without feeling. I didn’t even know what this feeling was. All I knew was I’d never felt anything like this before and I couldn’t explain it, but I DID NOT LIKE IT!
And now I was sitting like an i***t in the library of all places, waiting for her to arrive.
I wouldn’t have come. But Lucian had begged me. I hated when he begged. I closed my eyes reliving that afternoon yesterday
“Pleeeease, she needs your help, Blake.”
“You have no idea what you’re asking of me, Lucian.”
“No, I do,” he said. “I know that, deep down inside, you are still there. You still care. My friend is still in there.
