He said she could be something different something darker..
What she was was something she never doubted not once. She had heard others whisper they had doubts. This was something she never struggled with perhaps it was because things had changed so drastically for her after…that night. The hunger was everywhere she went sometimes she ran just to see if she could outrun it. She could not of course. It was the type of hunger that lead her to waking up in the woods in the morning disoriented the metallic taste still on her lips. She wondered perhaps that whatever she had become also had snatched her sanity from her as well. There were no rules for the early awakened no rules that said never to awaken those so young how would we have known though he was just following his nature.
There weren’t even ritual books widely available for such things well at least not to her knowledge or understanding. How did he know what he was chanting? How would one so young know what to do had it not been born somewhere deep inside him? It was not just the words, it was his blood, something that came alive inside her. It was liken to a baptism. She was truly never the same afterwards.
