She had amazed even herself at how easily she had been able to worm her way out of trouble. She couldn't have bared the thought of her parents getting a call that their daughter had been caught stealing blood from the bio lab. As she walked back to her dorm, she kept to her thoughts. Morose, she pondered, 'Yes, my parents. What would you say if you saw me now? If you saw your daughter. The image of the devil. Stealing blood. Drinking it. Never able to lay eyes on the light of day? Mother...'She felt a pain well up in her chest as she strode along by the light of the moon. What would her mother say? Catherine Edwards. Frail and beautiful. And yet, very traditional and religious. Would she think that God had yet again failed her? Clover knew the story. Her mother had been devout for her entire life. Whatever God sent her way was the way that things were going to be. But when she had almost died giving birth to her daughter, and when her daughter had almost died... for that one moment, Catherine Edwards had lost all faith. It was the only time she had ever wavered. Ever.Presently, Clover found herself mounting the stairs in her dorm. She had climbed three flights by the time she realized that she was headed the wrong way and turned around towards the basement.The hall to her new room was quiet. She almost half-expected to hear Koln muttering to himself or something. But it was unnervingly silent.Sighing, she swiped her card and pushed her way into the room, "I'm sorry for what I did, Koln. But I didn't want you to lea... Are you okay?"She quickly moved across the room to kneel down beside Koln, who sat curled up like frightened child.</blockquote>
