I know I should be working on Broken Ties Amended, but this just kinda popped into my head. Like, just now.
So I'm writing it and none of you can stop me! :D
Look, I know what Artemis thinks of me. I know what Dad thinks of me. I can probably guess what you think of me, too.
To everyone, everyone but to myself it seems, I'm a battle-hardened assassin. Vain, conniving, deadly. Its not like it was my choice to be this way...
Its in my blood, though: I'm not sickened by death, and I don't flinch at gore. I've had to become suspicious. I can't really trust anyone.
This includes myself.
I know most people can't see through my masks. No one can hear the uncertainty that underlies my silver tongue.
I want to be loyal to my family. But what can you do when its so divided?
I was borne into a family already in tatters.
My mom was in prison. The only parent to look to was Dad.
Can you really blame me for following him?
I know Artemis doesn't see this side of me. Nor does my father, and certainly not my mother.
All they see is Cheshire, the heartless assassin.
There's more to her, though. There's Jade.
I'm not brave enough to come out and say it bluntly.
But nobody notices.
If they do, they don't say anything.
I know that people say life only gives you what you can handle...
But that's not true.
Life gives you whatever the hell it wants.
You have weather it...
Or die trying.
And I'm tired of trying.
I'm tired of the disguises.
But I don't know what I should do now.
Don't judge me too harshly.
My decisions in life are perfectly justifiable.
Trust me, you'll never hear me say this again.
I'm going to be Cheshire again after all this...
But remember, Jade is still there.
And she still wants to be seen.
