#Character Study | Katherine Wetherly

[wxrldinmyeyes]

Dominic: "I almost killed you."

Katherine: "You weren't yourself. Your mind was fucked up. You were lacking human blood which was why you went crazy and became a monster. It wasn't your fault, Dominic. If anyone is to blame, it's Nicholas. He was the one who tortured you. Mentally and psychologically. Just like he did to your father when he possessed him. What you went through was horrible and you deserve better than that. You deserve to be loved and cared for, not used, abused and manipulated."

Dominic: "How is my father now? And my sister?"

Katherine: "He's fine. Almost back to normal but he's getting there. Monica, on the other hand, treated me well and she let me stay with her in Texas for as long as I wanted, which I did. I'm very grateful for her hospitality and kindness but I know deep down she hasn't been the same since you disappeared."

Dominic: "And my mother? How is she?"

Katherine: "I'm . . . so sorry, Dominic. Your mother is dead. She passed away a while ago. She was sick with something and we didn't know what it was that was killing her. Monica had to drink her blood so she can become stronger and more powerful than ever before. Your father knew, Lucy knew and I knew. I'm sorry you had to find out this way."

Dominic was quiet for a long moment, allowing the words to sink in. His facial expression was nearly impossible to read despite the guilt and shame he was feeling for nearly killing his own relative.

Dominic: "I'm . . . not ready to come home. Not yet. I need time to grieve on my own and more time to be away from my family, no offense to you."

Katherine: "Of course. Take all the time you need."
