❝ It seems that I'm no longer simply my parents' daughter, but the heir to some unknown legacy much larger. Possibly.

It's a mystery that will have to wait another day, as I get word that my real friends need me. I'm back in black, as I realize there's no point in denying my past since they accept me for who I am. Unconditionally.

But, as I leave to rejoin the only "family" I have left, I decide my fellow runaways don't need to hear about what happened to me here... Especially about Alex. The power of the blood that flows through my body, and my feelings for my first love are something that I'll keep to myself.

Eternally. ❞
