DMITRY

She’s gone. She left me. Couldn’t stand to be in the same room as me once she found out what I was.

I shouldn’t be surprised. I know what I am. I knew she would leave once she knew. But I had hoped.

Hope. How fucking stupid. I should know better by now. Where the fuck has hope ever gotten me? I had hoped my dead-beat father would stop drinking. Hoped he’d stop beating me and my mom and my sister every night. I hoped to protect them, to get them out of the city before his addiction ruined us all.

But he never stopped drinking or using. Never stopped hurting us. And my mom and sister never got out of that shithole. They died there, butchered like animals because of my fucking hope.

No, hope has never done a damn thing for me.

I stand by the door and watch Daisy take off running into the forest.

If I was smart, I’d let her go. I’d drop her off with her brother and mom, get them far away from me and this miserable city, and hope that she stays safe from the Italians and everyone else looking to hurt her.

But hope has never gotten me anywhere before. I won’t trust in it now.

No, the only way to keep her safe is if she’s with me, where I can protect her. Even if that means she’ll hate me for it. I’ll just have to learn to live with her hatred, because I’m not letting her go.

My mind made up, I take off into the forest after her.
