We're no longer together, but I still feel jealous, if it makes any sense. There's a small pang in my heart whenever I see her with someone else. 

She seems so much happier without me.

No. No, I was the first one to make her happy. I was the one who made her into who she is now. I was there for her when she was still unsure of herself, and if it wasn't for me encouraging her, she'd never be where she is right now. All of this, and the first thing she did after getting more confident was leaving me.

I see her with Emmeline more and more often and I think I know what it's all about. Vi doesn't want love. She wants to hunt. What better prey than someone self-conscious? I know Emmeline must have a hard time looking in the mirror with that scar on her face, I just know she hates how it makes her look. Something like this must be a giant blow to her self esteem, which is probably why she's trying so hard to establish this overly confident persona.

For people like Emmeline, being close with someone like Vi feels too good to be true, and that's because it is. All Vi wants is the thrill of having someone nobody ever had before. She'll take all of the "first times" she can take, then get bored and leave. I wonder how Emmeline will cope with that. 

But it's not my problem for now. She'll find out soon enough.
