ANDREA: All I have left is you...all of you. You're the only things left to remind me of what I can be. The only things keeping me from being truly alone. I'd follow you people straight into hell.

"LIMBs," The Wilds, Julia Elliott
Fuck, she hissed--a trashy cuss she never indulged in. And then she felt drained of wrath.
