“I’m a tough woman. I can handle it.” She says like the queen that just regained the rule over her kingdom, and I can’t help but smile. That’s what I love about her the most. Her fearless, fierce attitude just a few can boast. “So?” She asks impatiently, and I look away. I’m not sure I can face her while exposing my darkness to her.
“I beat a man. To a pulp. I wanted to murder him, and I haven’t done that because I need him….” I feel like I’m falling back into the black hole of pain and suffering all over again, recalling that night. I might be a killer who takes lives away without even blinking, but this time was different. It wasn’t just a random guy. It was a man involved in my brother’s death, and every time I think of him, I see my brother’s massacred body before my eyes. That’s why I suffer. My brother didn’t deserve the things they’ve done to him.
“Wh…,” Avalyne’s shaking voice snaps me out of my thoughts. “Why did you do that?” She looks at me with confusion and fear.
He had information I needed… he…” my voice cracks. I can’t speak. I feel a lump forming in my throat. It’s hard to breathe. Dear God, I can’t breathe.
“Damien. Stay with me.” Her arms drop to her sides as if she is fighting the urge to reach out to me. Get yourself together, man. I can trust her. “So that’s it? You did all of that, beat a man senseless, to gain someinformation?”
It’s so hard getting these words out. “It’s not just any information. That man… he was involved in my brother’s death.” Is that relief I feel? “The shittiest part is, I didn’t even do half of the shit they did to my brother! If you’d seen his body, it was unidentifiable.”
“Oh, my–” Ava, loses her breath as I keep speaking. Fuck. I’m scaring her.
“So, to answer your question, I did it because I am seeking revenge. I did it because I am a ruthless bastard and want justice for my brother.”
