"What if one day I completely lose myself? Like... I snap and I don't come back." It's one of those things that he worries about in quieter moments. He likes who he is. He's never been ashamed of his more violent impulses. But there are moments, at his worst, where he feels like a different person-- or maybe not a person at all. All instinct -- hunger and violence and the need to sink his teeth into something. It's not a feeling he likes, if he's being honest.

He sways on his feet, glowering at the other. “What have you done to me?” he snarls. It’s been days since he bit them, but he can’t think about anything else and when he tried to drink someone else’s blood? It tasted like ash in his mouth. Something is wrong and all of his self-restraint is going into getting answers and not just trying to rip their throat out and drain them dry.

"You needn’t give me that look. There is no lecture you can give me that I haven’t heard from Merrick a hundred times over.”

@holdymoly: true love is forcing your ill partner to sleep on a couch too small for them. 😍😘 #guesswhofelloffthecouchlikethreetimes #ohitwasme
