Coward.
Written from David's point of view
Tally Youngblood.
A name everybody knew. Littlies were taught it in littlie school, crumblies remembered what she had done: Tally Youngblood had brought down the mind-rain on the whole world. Pretties and Uglies were no more. While in the prettytime an ugly and a pretty couldn't walk down a street near each other, nowadays a pretty and an ugly could kiss in public and only the supporters of the old ways would feel offended.
Still, despite all of her supporters, Tally had her opposers. Those who thought that things were just fine in the prettytime. They thought that life so much easier when everything was bubbly, no conflict, no destroying the Earth. They said that even though me and Tally were trying to stop the pollution, the destroying, the people going back to rusty times, it was her fault any of it had started in the first place.
That may be true though. I know that, I was with her every step of the way.
David.
A name that, though not as famous as Tallys's or Shay's, it was still known. I was Tally's partner, on one of the feeds I'd even been described as the minus to her plus, the cure to her... well... Specialness.
Tally could be psycho, it was built into her brain. She refused to be rewired, so everyday she fought against the Special inside of her. She was strong, but sometimes not strong enough. She would say things that would hurt people and occasionally, do things that would hurt people. Then she would leave and I'd be there to explain to said person why.
One question I was asked in my conversations with these people, the ones who didn't understand Tally was "Was she always like this?" I woud just shrug my shoulders because the answer is too complicated.
Tally is still Tally. She was always strong. When I first met her she was young and naive, but she had a strong heart, she was determined. In the beginning, Tally was just a little sixteenyear old who just wanted to be Pretty, but she had changed in the smoke. Tally is still strong, but its a different strength now. Years of manipulation, rewiring, being told different things has changed her. She is steely strong now. She is still determined, and has a beautiful heart inside that strong, coldly beautiful body. I still love her like I did back when she was an Ugly. She will never love me aain though.
I think... what really changed her was- and dare I say it?- Zane. He was with her when I couldn't be. Through one of the hardest times for her. Her Prettytime, before she became special, but when she was once again just learning that the world is not as it seems.
Then, Zane died.
I had hoped selfishly that this may be my chance to get my Tally back, but I know now that she can never love again, and even if she did feel somethign for me, she would never ever let it show. The truth is, Tally is a coward when it comes to love. She is scared that if she loves someone she will hurt them. She still blames herself for what happened to Zane.
I now know that despite her strength, her beauty and her speed;
Tally Youngblood is a coward.
AN: This is just a drabble and I am not happy with it at all, but I feel the urge to post a fic, so here it is. What do you think?
