I came to Crimson Academy from the darkness. I pulled myself up out of it and breathed the air, filling my lungs with the poisonous aura that clung to the Academy and the Uppers themselves.

I was engaged to the wrong man.
I was friends with the wrong crowd.
I desired the wrong people.
They say it's because of the accident. It's because of the concussion.
But I know they lie. I know it's because of the darkness.
The savage darkness that calls me home.
