Did you know if you try and poison a daemon, their person can get sick. And that you can't see what your daemon does when you're blindfolded, no matter how much pain you're in, or how scared you are. And that you can can learn to tolerate people touching your daemon. It always feels awful, but you stop reacting. That takes away a sadist's enjoyment. Makes them less likely to be rough with you.
It was a relief when he settled. Harder for them to find him. They still did, though. My little late bloomer.
[ She shudders again. ]
It felt like I'd never be free again. So after I was out, I couldn't let that happen to anyone else. If I couldn't save the others, I could at least stop them catching new people.
