Carnival of Rust

Her eyes offered a challenge. "Don't make you do what?" She snapped. She always fought back till there was nothing left inside her. It was something I loved the most about her."Hurt you." She barked out a laugh. "You wouldn't dare!" she snapped. Taking a deeper breath in, staring at her, I emptied every bit of emotion I could. "For your protection, yes, I would." She managed to get everything she could straight for her son, a place to live, school, and a wonderful family. Still, her soul was splintered into a million pieces. She wasn't like everyone else, she wasn't a human.She was a Fairy. Monster. Creature.She kept what she was away from her son, her best friend, and everyone else that loved her. Faylen turned her back on the very thing that kept her sane all those years ago, and now she's facing a different monster. The darkness is waiting for her to embrace it once more.Always the hunted, it was time for her to become the hunter.The hunger is howling, terrifying her.She feels more alive than ever before.
