Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

Chapter 226

226. Olivia - Embracing II

I usually hate looking at my reflection, but today, I do something I never do. I remove the towel and I take a step back and stare at my body in the mirror. I trace all my scars, remembering how I got them. Most of them bring painful memories, especially the ones on my abdomen. My tubes were taken, and in their place, something evil was put inside me. Maybe it was put inside me because I'm a monster for killing Camila. And if I can't fight it then.....

I trace one more scar on my body.

The time to embrace the darkness has come.

It spreads inside me, filling each and every atom of my being, but it doesn't turn me into something evil, as I always thought since two bonds stand between me and that darkness, but it makes me not feel so alone anymore. It makes me feel like I have a choice. That I can stand up for myself.

I don't know if I can do that, but I can try. In the end, what do I have to lose? My life?

I continue to look in the mirror, getting familiar with the person I am now.

I am Olivia.
