A/N: I'm not a big fan of this title, but it'll work for now. Maybe I'll come up with a better one.
I came up with this idea while writing Courtesy Call, my other Portal fanfic. I fell in love with the idea and had to give it a try. This is just the prologue, so it's very short. I'll try to write the first real chapter tomorrow. This prologue takes place in GLaDOS' point of view, but the whole story will not. This prologue takes place after the events of the actual story.
Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision.
Many people would believe my actions to be cruel and wrong…but since when did I care what humans think? However, in this case, they may be right.
This is not how I wanted things to end.
Everything that has occurred has been completely unexpected. You have no idea how difficult it is to catch me off guard. Before I knew what was going on, it was over. There was nothing I could've done to stop it.
There was, however, something I could've prevented.
And that I will have to carry with me forever, seeing as how I cannot die.
It's almost funny how things turned out…almost.
But it's not, so don't laugh.
It wasn't even personal. I didn't plan this, honestly.
I didn't have a choice. She didn't have choice.
It infuriates me that I actually feel guilt over this. There was a time where I would've merely appreciated the irony of it all. But things are different now. In part, I blame her for that.
This is my fault. I made a mistake.
I did this to her.
