I loved her when I wasn’t allowed to, and in death, she’s all I think about. Purgatory is the life I never knew I wanted. I’m able to release the rage I’ve kept locked inside my entire life. When the fog hovers above the ground, I am in one place. The Graveyard. A fighting ring where I can unleash the violence my werewolf craves. The winner of every round gets a step closer to getting out of purgatory. The loser has their existence wiped from the universe. With one drop of blood spilled, I think of her. Elouise. I remember being young and in love with a vampire I wasn’t allowed to be with. Our love was forbidden. And that fuels my lividity. My love for her keeps me strong in a place so wicked. I thought our time together ended when we were seventeen. Until I see her in purgatory. Only to learn the real fight has just begun.
