Description
"Bring me," my eyes settle into his "to her," he repeats. I let out a giggle. My body numbly convulses with cold laughter. My shoulders shake with bursts of amusement. I don't know what inside me brought me to challenge a man so dangerous. I have watched him murder and destroy everything I've ever loved, and yet, I cannot help him. I won't this time. My life has been spent doing exactly what everyone has told me to do. Watch Grace. Protect her. Give your life for her. Live alone, in a state of solitude. Put her first. Well, I have. Every damn day. Now it's my turn to be angry. To break free of the binds I've lived in. How can these people claim to love me?! The fools. They only care about what I can give them. They think they love the person I'm expected to be. No longer. I'm ready for Nico to finish what he started all those years ago. To kill me. End my suffering and pain, being in the release of death. Maybe then I will live. Maybe then I can be myself, free. Or maybe the Moon Goddess is fake. A pipe dream made up to explain what happens next. Maybe this is all I get. But if it is, I'd rather it end. I'd rather live in darkness then spend another minute in their brightening light. The light they stole from me to pass between each other. Nico can't scare me if all he can take is all I want to lose.
