I wasn't expecting to have to go back to my old fighting ways. But then again, I had never pictured that she would go off like that. 

I would've thought she would've been safe by my side, I told myself over and over I would protect her. I would make it there in time, I told myself, nothing was going to happen to her. I was justifying this potential murder -- I say potential but I know it will really happen -- on the basis of defense of a loved one.

Because I know that after this, she'll never see me or my kind in the same light again.
