     “Stop, please you don’t want to do that! You have so much to live for.” I said, with a layer of concern covering my throat. She was standing on the edge of the building. Red and white lights danced around the streets, thirty five feet below her. The night was dark and loud. Drivers honked at each other, empty beer bottles hit the sides of the yellow taxi cabs, and people partied at the nearby clubs. 
           “Why? Why should I keep living? The police are going to find me anyway. They’re going to find out sooner or later. Th..that I..I ki..killed that man.” She said shakily, as her legs trembled below her and tears streamed down her face. She was two feet away from plummeting to her death. 
    “I’ll help you Oona. We’ll get through this together. We can destroy all of the outside monsters and demons. They’ll never get through our walls.” I said desperately.
    “How am I going to destroy my monsters, without becoming one myself! This is all my fault! I got us into this mess and I can’t get us out!” yelled Oona. No matter what I said or had done, I couldn’t convince her and she was going to jump.
    “Oona please, it wasn’t your fault. You had no control over your powers. The people at ALIEN, they were controlling you. They injected you with a serum to alter your brain into thinking he was an enemy.” I was now yelling at her. She was my only family left and I didn’t want her to leave just like everyone else.
       “No Hugo, you don’t understand. The serum they injected me with, only altered my brain, so that I could become who I was before. The person that I was before I met you. “ She said as I wave of confusion struck me in the face.
     “What do you mean Oona?” I asked. My face was contorted into a confused knot, filled with sadness and anger.
       “You may have known me for three years Hugo, and those were the best three years of my life. But you don’t know the past me. You don’t even know me now. Nobody knows me. Because I don’t even know me.”
