Have I ever wanted to not be able to see them?
Maybe. Once or twice, when all I could think about was how they set me apart from all the other kids, made me different. I stopped after what happened to Megan, though.
Because while I can see demons, they know I can see them. Because of that, they won't kill me; they don't even want to hurt me. I'm too special for that. While I'm still alive, there's always a chance that they could use me, and so they don't want to get rid of me.
But the minute I lose that ability? I'd be prey, just as much as anyone else out there. Just knowing about them doesn't ward them off, after all. It helps, but it won't keep you safe forever.
