Summary
"The blood of the covenantThicker than the water of the wombTo stick with familyOr live with ones you choose" ~~~~ There is an argument of nature versus nurture; does one's upbringing truly effect the way they turn out?

Heat, flickering down my arm. A soft warm. Only, it’s burning brighter and brighter. It’s getting hotter. FUCK.
BURNS. BURNS. RUN, GET AWAY.
Chest, heaving. Heavy.
Hand is aching. Stings. Hurts so much. Going numb.
Chaos. Air is thick — it’s hard to breathe. Coughing. Can’t stop coughing.
A bump to the shoulder. Why am I just standing here? Run. RUN.
Running. Chest is heaving. Arm hurts. Face is wet, tears streaming down my cheeks.
People are screaming. I can’t hear them. I only Know.
My knees are bending. Weak. I’m so tired.
My knees hit the floor. Hurts. Everything hurts.
My heart, my heart is aching.
Someone is dead.
— Prophecy by Felix Rosier
