After running for my life from hunters, a girl with too much lip gloss doesn't register on my fear radar.

He stares at me so darkly, so hungily that I can only nod. Agree. Of course, I feel it. I do, I admit.

You have my word. If you return with me, you won't be harmed. I'd die first.

See you soon (but not soon enough).

Because I know what it feels like to be used, valued only for what you can do... not who you are, not who you want to be.

A hunter in love with his prey.

Ironic, huh? To keep that part of me alive, I have to be close to that which kills it.

Yeah. A real date. Something official. You. Me. Tonight. We're long overdue.

Never forget that we are more than the genetic code. We can be more than labels applied to us. We can be more than what others whisper behind our backs. Free will exists. We need to choose to be the best we can be and we need to help others do the same. Believe in yourself.

You can't even see it. I'm the safest thing you'll ever find

All my life people have called me gifted. Extraordinary. Blessed. I had all these dreams to become something. Someone. No one ever said I couldn't. No one ever said Killer.

The heart that truly loves never forgets.
