He didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t just gun her down in cold blood even to save his own life – even if she was a monster.Béla raised her w...ngs up a little ways, then let them droop back into the sand beside her, as if that were some kind of explanation.“But I am a monster,” she replied, reading his thoughts. Her eyes were starting to leak again. Jake reached out his arms to her.“Béla,” he said, tears coming to his own eyes. “You’re not a monster, and you’re not evil. If you were, one of us. I’ll be fine.

We brought food for everyone and nothing much happened that night. We all slept after having the food.The next morning everyone was awake except me and the girls came to our room. It was 10 in the morning and I woke with someone tapping my shoulder and that is.
