Sadness unlike anything I had ever seen before filled his eyes. "I wish you wouldn't say that. I guess human or not, you will always be Ingrid Maslen. Goodbye."
Left to myself, I felt the hopelessness of my defeat. It felt like Sofia had won over me. She took everything from me. I had nothing left. Nothing. Sofia, on the other hand, was about to get everything she had ever wanted. It didn't seem fair, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Why live to see her celebrating her triumph over me?
Desperate, I took a shard of glass from the ground, left over from a glass of water I'd thrown against the wall. I tried to recall the last time I had felt pain as a human. Horrible memories I had long buried flashed through my mind, reminding me how cruel humans can be, how coldhearted and merciless they were. I don't want to be among them. I slashed the glass over my wrist, wincing at the pain.
