Chapter 17-- Considering my Options

I am still surprised he wants a mate! Does he not understand what kind of stress I am under because of him and he wants me to do another of those things?!? No, I do not wish to partake again in the misfortune of my family and of mine. I do not wish to put my family and my Elizabeth in more danger. But then he proposed something that I considered. He proposed that if I were to make him another of his kind, then he would not just vanish from my life, but also the life of other human beings. That is what made me consider and try to predict the outcome of the proposal. Of course it would be much work, once more working on another creature, but my need to find some sort of relief from my creature made me consider this. He then continued on with bringing up the benefits that would be brought onto me if I created his mate. I thought for some time and then...I accepted. I was not overjoyed or full of relief. So after discussing and accepting the monsters proposal, I went for a night walk. I had to go to real, natural, nature to comfort me once more. So I departed to the fountain and once more let the quiet night fill up with the insides of my inner tormenting.

I will admit, the first time I tried to read it, I had some problems lol but you did very well and I like how you used big words. I also like how you connected with your character, you bring him to life in a way that even if you didn't say who your character was, we'd know by the amount of details and the tone you use.
