“You let all those people kill your parents?” I gasped.
“No, weren’t you listening? I killed them myself. I used the hatred of the humans to fuel the witch hunts. My parents were the first to be killed in the trials, and I myself set them on fire. Of course, I had cast a spell ahead of time and was prepared to take their power into me. The sorrow in the heart of my parents, and the hatred from the humans, those delicious emotions blended together to make quite the astounding boost to my power.”
“I take back what I said before.”
“What’s that sweetheart?”
“You’re not a monster.”
“See, all yo-.” He began before I cut him off.
“You’re a fucking psychopathic murdering asshole.”
“You will talk to me with respect.” He glowered at me.
“Really? Or what?” I demanded of him.
“You will live a shorter life.” He laughed at me.
“You’re already planning to kill me anyway.”
“Yes, but I wanted to have a nice chat first. Keep acting like that, and I will just kill you now.”
“Oh no, heaven forbid it, I cannot have that happening, now can I?”
“Don’t press your luck, you little bitch. I’m trying to be generous. I thought you would like an explanation before you died. But you can just die now, being as ignorant as you are. If you’re content dying ignorant, then so be it; I won’t stop you.”
“What makes you think I am ignorant of anything?” I yelled at him. “What makes you act all high and mighty, thinking you’re better than me? Why do you think I do not know anything about you or your people?”
“Foolish little girl, where would you have learned about it all?” He looked at me with his eerily light-colored eyes and smirked. “I destroyed the Aerie Convento the day you arrived, taking that unborn abomination with it.”
“Abomination? Abomination? That abomination was my baby, your grandchild. It would have had warlock blood coursing through it.”
“Yes, but it was too tainted with beast men to be usable to me. I didn’t know about, or intend to kill it, but it was an added bonus.”
“You bastard. You heartless, demonic bastard.” I was shaking from my anger. I was ready to kill him.
“Wait a minute. You didn’t show me the battle at the Aerie Convento. Why was that? Was it not enough of a sin of mine? Did losing my baby not count for this whole self-reflection thing of yours?”
“You were the one to suffer the most from that. There was no need to make you reflect on that day because you have already done so..” The other me seemed to be employing rules that made absolutely no sense to me right now.

“Come now, Riviana, let us continue.” The other me looked back at the screen and the frozen images started to move again. My sperm donor, the man that I would never think of as my father, was laughing almost hysterically for what I had said.
“How many of your children have you killed, Edmond? How many women did you destroy to get those children? Don’t you feel anything for the flesh and blood that you lost?” I screamed the words at him, my fury boiling over.
“If they’re not strong enough to survive, then that’s on them. I feel nothing for the loss of them or their mothers. They were tools and vessels, and they were all broken. I have no need for broken things.”
“Did you ever think that you were the broken thing, you asshole? Did you ever think that they would have grown up powerful and strong if you didn’t torment or torture them all to death?” The wind around me and Edmond on the screen started to stir and I saw a lot of phantom eyes staring at us. Those were my dead siblings. So many children were lost to the horrors of my father. At least the other me wasn’t blaming me for their deaths.
“Nonsense. They were weak and needed to be plucked from the pool. You had potential, so much potential. But your body chose wolf over warlock so you’re no longer of use to me.”
“You’re the one no longer needed.” I yelled at him. “And that’s why I am going to kill you.”
“Ha, you kill me. That’s the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.”
“Do you hear me laughing, asshole?” I snarled at him. “You’re one piece of trash this world never needed, and it’s time to clean things up.”
“I told you to watch what you said about me, you useless little mongrel slut. I will make you wish you’d never met that mate of yours. That would have been the only way for you to have survived, you know. But now you’re a tainted piece of mongrel scum.”
“You’re going to rue the day you decided to experiment on unborn children, you crazy fuck.”
A lot of tense seconds passed as the two of us stared at each other.
“Fuck you, Edmond.” I spoke one last time before I curled myself into a fighting stance.
From there the fighting started. We insulted each other several times during the fight. He called me an animal and I called him an asshole. To be honest, neither one of those were insults, they were the truth. I am an animal since I am part wolf and he truly was an asshole.
In the beginning of the battle between us, Edmond had been winning. I was still learning my powers and the changes that had been happening inside of me. Still, after a little while I had the advantage. I was pinning him to the ground, and he was glaring at me.
