Letters in the Dark by Kit Rose

Cassandra
Abducted.
Caged.
Kidnapped.
They all mean the same thing. Hidden away and forgotten about by everyone. Everyone except the monster who put me here.
He stripped me of my freedom. He stripped me of my clothing. He’s a monster, and he’ll do whatever he wants with me.
But I will survive.
And I will wait.
He hides in the shadows, but I will learn to see in the dark.
And when the lights go out, I will show him the monster inside me.
If you live in the dark long enough, even the sweet ones must grow claws.

Monster
Soulless.
Psychopath.
Evil.
That’s what I’ve been told my entire life. If you looked at the trail of blood that follows me, you’d think they were right.
I never asked to be like this. I never asked to be different. I never asked to be a monster.
Something broke inside of me when I was born, and Cassandra Matheson is the only one who can fix me.
She’ll be the light to my darkness, the good to my evil.
And she’ll teach me what it is to be human.
Or she’ll never leave her cage.
