Chapter 26: Just Be Done With It

Eve~

I knew well that I was tempting the devil with my actions. I could feel the heat radiating off him in waves, and he kept me pinned. I smiled, an action that did not hold joy. Just be done with it.

If I had been told five years ago that I would be here, baiting a man into ending my life, I would have been appalled. I would have never believed it. Yet here I was, doing it. He just had to snap, just once, and I would be done with this. I could not keep living like this. From one hell to another, from one monster to another. I was not strong enough.

I recalled the little scars that had littered my body before the Deltas concealed them with their abilities. Little markings inflicted by me. There had been a clear purpose, but again and again, I was brought back from the brink. They needed me alive. I was useful to them.
