Emily: I never thought I would be seeking shelter here of all places.

I’m out of options though. I needed a place to hide out.

Somewhere I could get my bearings and develop a plan to get myself out of the mess I’ve landed in.

It was a fail-proof plan. Then he found me.

I’ve escaped one monster, only to be captured by another.

He’s determined to break me, to uncover the secrets I’m hiding. But this is one secret I can’t let him discover.

Can I escape him before he ruins everything? Before he ruins me?

Josh: She was meant to stay away.

Emily, the only person in the world who’s made me feel like I actually have a heart.

She made me hope that my soul wasn’t as black as people say.

Hope’s a dangerous bitch though, one I killed before those embers ever had a chance to flame.

Now she’s back. And she’s keeping secrets, ones I plan to uncover using any means necessary.

I warned her that if I ever laid eyes on her again, I’d keep her.

In keeping her, I know I’m going to do the one thing I never wanted to do.

Ruin her.
