Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

For the rest of the trip home, my mind echoed Vesper's words about how I will change to the point of killing people without remorse.
I was aware that my personality will change. After all, I would be a rock if I was not affected by the knowledge that other creatures are among humans (and that I'm one of them), but killing without hesitation was something I couldn't imagine.
However, I killed Bob. Does that mean one day I will kill a person after apologizing and explaining how someone else is more important to me?
I didn't have an answer to this question, but I knew without a doubt that I was afraid of being left alone.
What if in the near future I faced a choice of killing someone or risk being alone? I hoped that I will never find myself in such a situation.
