After I had told Trisha my story, she had a blank expression. She sat there staring at me as she took dainty little sips of tea. After a few more minutes of utter silence, sheset the cup down and put a foot on the edge of the table to prop herself back.
"I think we can all just keep this a secret Mercy. Lilly and April as sweet as they may be won't be very empathetic to your condition." Trisha said, only it didn't sound like Trisha, this was all business. And her eyes were glazed over.
"That will be okay." I said quietly. She was starting to scare me with that dull spaced out expression that made me feel invisible.
"Please leave." Trisha said without moving, without focusing her eyes on anything in particular. I got up slowly as walked myself out. Once out in the corridor a weight I didn't feel building fell off my shoulders. For being as nice as she was usually she had a cold side.

I could taste her fear in the back of my throat, but right now I had to digest what I'd been told. It wasn't possible for someone to engineer a person. The technology did not exist. Of course neither did demons and I met one in the flesh. And there was the undeniable evidence from earlier in the locker room.
I picked up the tea cup and flung it against the wall. It shattered and left tea running down the wall. Yet again an unexpected enemy entered my border and violated me. Damn, it!
I threw the other cup against the wall and screamed in rage. Next the chair was hit against the table cracking all the wooden legs off.
Anger was a good emotion, anger showed no weaknesses.

April and I heard the commotion coming from Trisha's room and saw a boy who happened to be passing by knock on her door. That is the biggest mistake the poor thing could make.
"She's in a rage again, and it sounds like a monstrous one this time." Lilly said. I nodded.
"Let's go find that new bitch, Mercy, she seems like a likely candidate for this one." I said turning.
