Fighting Conviction

Devil: They call me Devil. But I'm haunted by the deaths I've caused.

That's why I've hidden who I am. A failure. I control everything or I fight to block it out. If I don't care, I don't lose. But my defenses don't work on Ellie.

I saved her once. Now she's learning to save herself. If only teaching her how didn't test my control. She's my friend's sister. Warm. Light. Innocent. That's what I need to remember. All I want is to fuel my angel's desire.

Ellie: He calls me angel. But I'm no one's saving grace. I hate what I am. A victim.

I lost so much before Devil found me. And I'm afraid of losing what's left. But fear made me a coward. He saved me then. Now he's teaching me to save myself. If only he didn't make me lose control.

He's my brother's friend. Cold. Dark. Forbidden. That's what he wants me to think. All I want is to feel Devil's burn.
