"You shouldn't act so reckless," Redhead chided the kid when she thought no one was listening to her. "Next time, don't run towards danger. The sensible thing is to get away from it."
It was shocking how good she was at this mother thing. Deanna was never mother material. She attached her soul to her daughter, cursing her to a life of pain just so she didn't have to die. That was not the worst she did. Oh, no. Afterward, she preyed on that child's weakness, then possessed her. She forced her daughter to kill herself, so she could get what she wanted.
Put Redhead and her mother together and one would wonder how the hell did such a vicious woman bring forth such an amazing child. No one knew Deanna was behind the switch in Redhead's personality, not even Kyleon or I. I had hated her for so long. Instead of seeking help, Redhead had succumbed to the influence of her mother. It had cost me my parents' lives and my brother's happiness. I could never forgive her for that.
