Chapter one: Overdose

0o0o0o0o0o0

Summary: Music, one thing neither thought much about, would be key to bringing them close. This is a collection of songs revolving around Death the Kid and Crona.

A/n: Listening to the songs while reading each chapter is strongly recommended to set the mood. I listened to them while I typed. I suppose there is a slight warning that androgynous Crona is female in this. It's nearly impossible to write about Crona like this without using he or she, and even though I love KidCrona either way, I tend to imagine Crona as a female. The songfics range from short to long. This first one is Crona-centric.

Rating: Teen

Genre: Angst

1) Overdose - One-Eyed Doll

There were times when Crona was alone that she would hear angels. Only, these angels were not the majestic creatures who sung heartwrenchingly beautiful melodies. They screamed piercing cries of pain. Were they the sounds from all those humans she had slain? Were they her own from long ago? She could never tell… All she could do was cry into her pillow and whisper to herself how she didn't want to hurt anyone anymore.

It was always the same for her; always agonizing.

The angels reminded her of her mother Medusa when the snake witch would experiment on the Black-blooded child. Medusa's slender hands would force needle after needle into Crona's lanky body, injecting her with freshly concocted Black Blood. Sometimes after a full day of being used for her mother's test, Crona could hear the angel's…screaming, always screaming… Did angels really sound like that? Was she close enough to death to hear them? Heaven…no…Hell's angels. That's why they screamed.

Author's Note: It's very short, I know, but the 3rd CHAPTER IS MUCH LONGER. I did what I felt like doing. I started this like months ago but my internet went out.
