Chapter 53

"Love, that exempts no one beloved from loving, seized me with pleasure of this man so strongly, that, as thou seest, it doth not yet desert me."

Dante Alighieri

I took the tube to the Camden Market thinking about Gjöll and hell in general. I always liked keeping myself to myself; however right now I had to forget about all the risks and concentrate on getting back the letters. During my ride I put together a plan, just in case something went wrong tonight. The station was very busy. Normally I struggled being in the crowd for too long, but today I felt completely suffocated and overwhelmed by humans. I had to escape to the bathroom just so I could catch my breath. Earlier on Ricky had given me the elixir that was supposed to cover the fact that part of my genetic DNA was human. Deep down I told myself that I needed to stay positive.
