Chapter Twenty-Five

Greve

The transition phase is underway. Ireland is changing. She’s forgetting who she is so that she can become more like her mother. It’s a scary thing to be a part of. I’m seeing a hybrid change over to become more like her absent mother than the father who raised her. It’s a sad and unfortunate thing. It’s also very necessary.

Ireland will not lose herself completely, though. The real her will be there, underneath all the unbalance. I’ve tried to tell her that what it comes down to is finding a balance in what her body needs. For her it’s more difficult because she is not part human like me. To find a balance for her, she will have to have both positive and negative influences. For me, it’s easier than that. I am part demon and part human. I live on Earth with all the other humans. That is my balance. Between teaching and mind control, it’s enough to make me feel somewhat whole. Of course, being more on the negative side of things makes it hard. I will always struggle to keep the demon part of me underneath the surface.

Ireland’s genetics are more complicated. Her body is like a scale. One side is weighed down with acts of kindness, honesty, and love. All the things that are pure and good. The other side is weighed down by pain, dishonesty, and addiction. She gets all those things from the people she reads. And all the things that are negative float inside the scale, weighing the bad against the good. Without being in heaven, Ireland has to find that balance here with me. And let’s just say, using humans for positive is a lot more difficult than she anticipated.

I can’t say I’m not worried. Ireland has gotten through things faster than any other student I’ve ever worked with. She’s tough and quick. Her mind soaks up the information with no problem. All this would be great if I wasn’t so concerned that all of it will come crashing down on her. There will come a time when she will break. They all do. I just hope it happens when I’m around to fix her.

“Greve, we’re here,” Irelands says from the other side of the cab car.

I look around to see we have indeed stopped. The ride over should have taken longer. At least an hour should have gone by. Surely I wasn’t zoned out that long.

“How long have we been riding?” I ask her while opening the door.

Ireland looks at me confused. “Maybe forty-five minutes or so. Is this the right place?” She opens the door and swings her legs out. As she stands up, the sun hits her face and she quickly places her hand around her eyes. Ireland always has a shield around herself. Even if it is just used to keep the brightness away from her face.

I stop looking at her to glance around the area. A tall brick wall looms in front of us. Behind the wall, two rundown buildings stand.
