A/N: I tried something really new with this one. The idea came to me after this week's episode, when Hunter used the line that he'd rather see all the cheerleaders die in a fire. If you remember from episode 1 of this season, there's a fire later on in the school year. So I put two and two together to come up with this. I took an abstract writing style with this because I really wanted it to capture Hunter's thoughts. I feel like in a fit of rage he wouldn't be composed enough to form complete, structured thoughts. I know it's short, and I like it that way. I don't plan on expanding it. Please let me know what you guys think! :)
I failed.
I had one job. One fucking job. And I blew it.
Arlene is my responsibility now. She is my world. My princess. I'm supposed to protect her. But I couldn't.
I couldn't save her from them. No matter what I did. No matter how hard I tried. They were always there.
Those fucking cheerleaders.
You can't escape them. They're around every corner and in every class. I'm only one person. I can't always be everywhere she is.
I should have tried harder. I should have switched into her classes. I should have fought for her.
I should have done...something...anything to keep her from the pain they caused.
I watched the flames grow wider before my dark eyes, the crack of the fire almost drowning out the music from their god awful routine. I smirked to myself as they traveled, chased with a large cloud of thick smoke.
It's too late to save the princess. But I can still watch the evil dragons go up in flames.
