I’m a lady. Just like Mum. Papa sat me down and told me I didn’t have to follow her instructions or be threatened by her. But Papa didn’t see what I saw. Papa wasn’t there.

Maybe I had some issues before, but that darkness — that first taste of chaos — sealed the deal for me.

I’d say I’m always hungry for more. More information, more books, more chaos.

And it’s not only because of that kiss or the almost-kiss before that. It all started that night. It started with chaos and refused to end.

And I already made a promise to myself that there would never be another moment where I’m weak. I did it once. Never again.

It’ll be chaos I can’t control, like when I was a kid, standing at the edge of the pool.

Since that day he kissed me, I knew Cole wasn’t for me. I just knew it. The moment he compared me to others, blatantly declaring I was only one of his conquests, I decided I would be the conquest he’d never win.

Screw him. He lost the right to those the moment he didn’t save his firsts for me.

I might not like Silver Queens, but I’ve always considered her something sacred. And mine. She ruined that. She ruined everything.

If I talk to them, they’ll start thinking they can be my friends. No one can. That would mean they’ll get close enough to read through me, and I won’t allow that.

Now that they’ve had their adventure, each will go back to their respective world. And that’s when Silver will be mine. This time, I’ll swallow her so much into my chaos, she’ll never find a way out.

“Here’s the thing, Butterfly, I can’t stop.” “Why not?” “Because you’re my chaos, and I can’t survive without chaos.” “I’m chaos?” “The worst of all. The most beautiful of all. And you know what? You might as well be the deadliest.”

Why did you jump me, push me to the bench, and cry your glitter tears on me? Why did you refuse to let me go and promise me your firsts? If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself. You made me obsessed with you to the point I can’t fucking breathe until I see you.”
