"I will always blame myself for her and her brother's destiny, for dooming them both. If only I said no to that blood oath, if only I didn't run to Gordon putting myself at risk... if only I could have been strong enough to say no before he said yes... my beautiful Agape would have never suffered as much as she did... I begged to be left near her so I could keep watching over her the little I could."
Daphne was shivering, tears running from her eyes, I was crying too, her story moving me in ways I never thought possible. Caleb was sad as well, Cara was sobbing on Alex's arms while Gideon had tensed jaw and gritting teeth with rage. I focused on that, I took in his pain and turned it into rage as well. This was horrible, what that demon did to Daphne and Agape, to her father and her brother, he ruined lives and corrupted Agape from such a young age. I needed to let this rage feed me in order to focus on what to do next.
