By: PhoenixJustice

Disclaimer: Puella Magi Madoka Magica is owned by many people who are not me. I only own this story and make no profit from this.

Summary: If it saved Madoka, I will do whatever it takes. Even become a demon to protect her.

Part Thirteen of the Alphabet Chronicles.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I do not know what I am anymore.

Magical girl?

Witch?

Demon?

Does it even matter anymore?

Why-does it matter to me, anymore?

If it saved Madoka, I will do whatever it takes. Even become a demon to protect her.

She gave me my life, made me into something I could not be without her. She is my world and I will protect that world with everything I have.

Even if she hates me.

I can accept that hate, because it means she still exists in my world. That she still is. I will not let her become Ultimate anything any more; she will not be used to save all others, at the expense of her life. I will force that upon the Incubators, I will even force that on myself, if need be. But I will not let be exposed to that any longer.

She is too good.

Even if...even if I wanted to touch her, my hands are too stained. I do not regret it. I will never regret it. Not when it means I can see Madoka smile once more, even if only at a distance.

I cannot ever allow myself to remember that love for her, that longing, pulsing thing in my chest. I cannot remember. I must remember her cries of pain, her anguish, her unhappiness; it is for that that I do what I do, so she may smile once more instead.

So I will finger this earring on my ear, remember what it stands for, and I will stand as guardian to magical girls. For Madoka.

Always.
