The Deaths of Ian Stone2007

Gray:
We feed on their fear.

Ian Stone:
So what are you, like vampires?

Gray:
It sustains us, but we corrupted ourselves. We began feeding on human pain as well, searching for it everywhere. Almost like an addiction. And the fear one of them experiences the moment before a violent death is most potent. Our drug of choice. Once you've tasted it, you never want to stop. You need it more and more, and when you can't find it you have to kill for it. That's what turned us from parasites into predators. You just keeping hunting, waiting to feed again.

Ian Stone:
So how many of them are there?

Gray:
I don't know anymore.

Ian Stone:
Why the hell are these things coming after me?

Gray:
You hurt them. You did something to them and they won't let you remember it until they can work out how to bring you back into the fold... or destroy you.
