I betrayed my blood. Without qualms. Without falter. All in the name of love. A war erupted upon our departure, rising perilous times as we trekked around the globe to stay alive. But one can only run so long, and with such precious things at risk, we were doomed from the very start. Through newfound fear and paranoia, my dark passenger emerges, her intent solely to remind me I can’t escape her harrowing clutches, no matter how hard I may try. She will supersede me eventually, and when the time comes, blood will surely be shed. Were we foolish to believe we could pull this off all along or will love find a way to see us through this hellish storm?
