Alchemy of Chaos

	I go back to the living-room but can't seem to stop my hands from shaking. I'm shocked beyond words, and it shows in my eyes. Cass sits on the couch, tense and pale, I wonder how much she knows, how much has Alec told her. I feel a sudden, stronger connection to him, his condition as an orphan resonates deeply in me, and I see myself in him. I see myself in every shade of hurt I've already uncovered on Alec, in every careful means to keep people away, to not give himself too much. No wonder he acts aloof and distant, how can he trust anyone when he's being bullied inside his own home? By the very person who should have protected him above all else. I'd have protected Alec, I will protect Alec.
