It wants my sister. I can sense it, teasing just beneath my skin and in the air whenever we are near. I know that she is gifted, but Aya's soul is so gentle and sweet, thoughtful and curious. Yet while I reject the beast's desire, I would be remiss to deny my sister's own yearning. Years of isolation have left her in search of meaning, and now, finally, she has found purpose. Dangerous, reckless purpose. I must go with her on this journey, if not to protect her, then to witness.
