InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Drips, Drops, and Drabbles ❯ Monster ( Chapter 8 )

Monster

 

She does not need to know. She has no need to delve into my past, the things I've done. She says it's important, she wants to know. She says I should let her in, it will make everything better.

 

She does not understand. I cannot. If she saw, if she knew, she'd disappear and never look back.

 

I won't let her know about the blood that had dripped from my hands, the screams as I ripped young lives apart. Perhaps she would simply say it was not my fault, that I was defending myself, but not if she knew.

 

She does not need to know about how I hunted them down. How I enjoyed their blood between my fingers. How I slaughter them like cattle for what they did to my mother.

 

She does not need to know the monster that haunts her steps and guards her sleep.
