1 " But that’s the thing about narcissists. They can try to fool you, with all their heart, but in the end, they’re just fooling themselves. "
― Ellie Fox , And then the Devil Cried: Episode Two
2 " Some things in life you can’t get away from. You can’t outrun fate. Your feet can try but you’ll still be in the universe’s version of a hamster wheel. Running, but not getting anywhere. "
3 " I stood there, staring at the sleeping man snoring peacefully in my bed, unaware of the intrusion. I felt like a boy trying to steal the golden goose from under a giant’s nose. Any minute now, he would wake up and he would smell the scent of my fragrant flesh. I could kill him now, fuck the consequences. But it would mess everything up if I failed. Not just for me, but I felt in some ridiculous way, Ian's hopes were tied to me as well. Rho was already creating a life for himself. How much could he possibly care about the man he lost? Out of sight, out of mind. It was still the worst kind of betrayal, the one I got from Rho. My knight had stabbed my heart, left me to bleed out. And I was supposed to just act like nothing happened. Like it didn’t feel like dying, over and over. Like it wasn’t killing me. Just as I had nothing to hold me back, when I took this road with Rho, there was nothing holding me back now, without Rho, in this world so far away from him. Even if he didn't have a clue what was going on, it still hurt that he managed to find someone so quick. It wasn’t like him. But then again, maybe I put too much faith in the people who I loved so desperately. "
4 " All the time, I lay in bed, I kept hearing Ian’s words. “Not easy selling your soul to the devil, is it? "
5 " And I would like nothing more than to think I was some criminal mastermind, and was able to fool Marcus, but the truth is I wasn’t even saying things with much conviction. Anyone who cared to see me, would have known I was lying through my teeth, but not him. That night, and after, Marcus saw what he wanted to see. He believed what he wanted to believe. I just used it to my advantage. "
