Hello all!
Sorry I have been so inactive lately, but my inspiration for my DP stories has run dry, as I'm not that into DP anymore.
I also had writer's block, so I'm getting rid of it by writing this two-shot about William and Yumi from Code Lyoko.
These poems take place after "Down to Earth" and before "Fight to the Finish". One is from William's POV and the other from Yumi's.
I hope you enjoy!
William
I can't take it anymore.
The fear, the nightmares, the memories…
They're tearing me apart inside.
I flinch at every movement
Every creature bathed in shadow
Because it reminds me
Of Him.
That taunting, ruthless voice
Hurting me, scarring me, ripping me to pieces
And of the torture he put me through;
Watching helplessly
As I battled my loved ones
Even almost killed them
And not being in control of my own body.
They claim they knew it wasn't really me
But by the way they still avoid me
I know they are frightened.
Scared that I will lash out at them again.
And I can still see her face
Desperate and pleading
As He leveled my sword at her throat.
And I can still hear her voice
Begging me to listen to her
And I recall my own voice
In my head
Screaming that I wish I could.
And I remember the malicious laughter
Increasing my suffering.
And most of all
That one moment
Where I was strong enough to fight Him
If only for a few seconds
That first time I heard her voice again.
It all comes back so vividly
And I wish it would stay away
The way it had when I was first freed
Even that darkness was better than this.
And now they say I'm still one of them
And yet they avoid me at all costs
And she looks at me like I'm a monster.
Maybe I am.
I don't know.
All I know is that I want it all to end.
I thought the day I became free was the end
I thought His torture had finished at last.
But I was wrong.
The echoes of that past still whisper in my ears
And these wounds won't seem to heal.
I guess there's just some things that time cannot erase.
Please stay tuned for Yumi's poem! :D
