It coursed through us like electricity. Every
capillary, every tendon absorbed the darkness. I shook my head back and looked
upwards towards the blue sky. The power was overwhelming me the same way it had
after I took in the vengeance from the railway line. The greed that was within
me then still lurked inside my body, it didn’t want to stop the connection and
spill a drop of darkness.
I
needed it all.
I
screamed up into the sky and shook my head harder. My mind had to be stronger
than this. I was my own person. If I let us self-destruct now we would have
accomplished only one part of our destinies. I wanted to live to see the new
world. I wanted to be part of its reconstruction. Who would be there to stop
people like Audrey? Who would be there to monitor mankind’s intentions?
I
felt Sebastian’s vice grip tighten. He had less power within him so logically
he should be able to hold more. I forced my head to the side and looked at his
profile. His jawline was clenching periodically, I could see the muscles spasm
under his layer of ebony skin. He wasn’t doing any better than I was.
