Ezra: They call me King, but it's just the mask I wear to conceal the true evil behind it. If I wasn't born into this life, I'm afraid there would be nothing on Earth that could satiate my thirst. Not for the thrill that comes from killing a man, no. That doesn't last long. Nothing could fill the void where I store countless bodies and souls, only to thirst for something more. To feel something other than emptiness. It's my turn to continue the Casella bloodline, and I will do it my way. Striking a deal with her was the first part of my plan to get my family off my back, but she doesn't know that I plan to keep her. Even if she begs for me to let her go, I will make her see just how much she belongs in my world. Aries: I thought the only evil in my life would be my drunk father, but it turns out, there is something darker that lies in wait for me. Meeting Ezra was the easiest part of my story, it's everything that came after that was difficult. He is everything they say he is, and more, but there is something about the way he looks at me, the way he only sees me that terrifies me. They say everyone has their own demons they wrestle with daily, but Ezra doesn't. He embraces them, and treats them like his friends. What scares me the most is how the darkness within me awakens every time he's near, like his abyss snuffs out the light within me. It spreads into my veins, consuming me, until I no longer know who I am without him.
