Chapter 12

Eric

Kristine has left me feeling like a monster once again. She’s traveled to another time, another continent just to work her demonic evil into my life. Seeing the fear in Annette’s eyes and knowing that my hand could be the cause of such fear… how I wish it was Kristine I’d truly killed so Annette and I could have some peace.

After I stormed out of Annette’s dressing room, I escaped to my darkened tunnels, just as I had as a child; just as I’d run away from the world who feared the hideous monster with the disfigured face.

I’d no doubt Kristine planned to turn Annette against me. She wouldn’t stop just because she no longer had direct control over Annette’s body. She nonetheless had control over our lives.

My home echoed with the heavy steps of my boots as I entered and paced the length of one room, then another and then another. All around me were remnants of Annette’s stay here. Her fragrance. Her gloves. The plate of fruit she’d left untouched at breakfast.

The depth of love I felt for her weighed on me and the thought of her in Kristine’s hands made it all the more unbearable.

I stopped before the mirror in the corridor and examined my face. Though I knew the scars had faded, all I could see looking back at me was a face covered with unsightly scars. The physical markings may have left, but the depth of each scar remained. As handsome as I could appear to the world now, inside I was still the monster Kristine had always wanted me to become; to remain for all eternity.

Staring into my bloodshot eyes, I shouted out my anguish and heard my voice come back to me on a deafening echo of my empty home. Unable to endure anymore, I watched the looking glass shatter and fall to the floor and was surprised to then see my fist bloodied from the blow to the reminder of what I truly was.
