I headed for home. It would have been easy to get a cab or catch the subway, but I needed the time to clear my head and walking was one of the best ways I had for doing it. I took the long route home; my feet carried me forward as my mind fought to come to terms with all the things I’d learned. I didn’t need Dex threatening to spill my secrets to the world, but after everything he’d been through, how could I blame him for holding me responsible? I hadn’t possessed him but I also hadn’t stopped it from happening. At the end of the day, the best of intentions didn’t really cut it. Dragging myself free of my thoughts, I peered around at my surroundings, my stomach flip flopping as I recognised the area. Sonia and Steve had been buried two days previous and I, being the coward that I was, had hung in the background watching the proceedings take place from afar. The second it was over, I’d hightailed it out of there like all the demons in Hell were chasing me.
