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
