bitter blood.

iii. a wild thing? no. a chaotic thing.

iv. wild things can be caged. wild things can be tamed. chaotic things are absolutely endless. you are endless. after you, there will be nothing. after you, there will still be you but you'll be sharper. your senses with be stronger. you will move faster.

viii. fight because she couldn't. fight because her choice was ripped from her.
