If you ever came across a demon, I doubt you would think they were capable of feeling guilt. Neither did I until her. While she gets closer to me every day, every moment we see each other sparking something between us I had hoped not to experience with a human, I must hide from her. Because beyond my true nature, I know a secret that would destroy her. Everything she thought she knew was a lie, but who am I to shatter the illusion of the life she had created? If I wanted to be with her, really with her, I’d have to tell her the truth. Either my guilt eats me alive, or she turns to hate me, and I don’t think I can stand the idea of not having her body under mine again. Neither of my choices is particularly appealing. Guilt is a heavy burden, but what if the truth is heavier? I am Cade, and I am a different being than I was before I came to Earth and met her. A demon hiding in human skin. But existence would have been less painful if I didn’t know what I had to lose.
