Six
“Every day, every hour, and every second I pretend less and feel more. Lana is correct in that acting lessons are good. Just not for the reasons she initially started them. I copy the darkling girls’ smiles and laughs. I imitate their gestures and pick up on jokes. I may not feel the other four yet, but I feel alive. Finn still has to leave every few weeks to stave off his ‘cravings’. Lana and Finn do not think I know when he leaves, but I do. Even if I could not see the crazed look in his eyes ...when it is almost time, I would know because Lana sits by the window all night long when he is gone. She is guarding, watching, making sure nothing happens to me. Bec usually spends the night in our house on the nights Finn leaves, too. I tell them stories of my childhood and try to recite the words from my fairy tale. The words are less familiar now and as unimportant as they once seemed, I know they are not. Those words are my mother. They are all I have left besides the snippets of memories and her last dying words.Finn is always back before I wake up.It is customary that male darklings stay in a house on the outside of the circle to protect the female darklings and because it is inappropriate for males to intermingle too much.MoreLess
