Blackfeather Woods It's always been you

You think you can fool me with a smile and a snack, brother? spoke a ragged voice from the darkest corner of the chamber. Damien had been expecting his brother, having gotten used to his daily visits and attentions already, but Cicero's true face could never be unseen. Damien had known it, the demon that was his brother, so easily concealed by his caregiver act. But it did not fool him, not Damien, not anymore.

Am I supposed to trust you now? Should I eat this and expect it isn't poisoned or adulterated so you can gut me while I'm knocked out? he chuckled, coughed and then spat to his left with disdain. It had been Cicero who'd managed to break through the highest walls around Damien's heart, and once inside, burned everything to the ground.
