Schneekönigin
By SMYGO4EVA
No one truly knew of how the Magisterium truly took control of an individuals' way of thinking; perhaps it was out of fear when they saw the independence of which would destroy the very existence belonging to the Church. It was the same as the idea that human emotions would be twisted and manipulated for one's enjoyment. They think that the Church knew nothing of love, but out of all of them, one named Marisa Coulter had such emotion.
She had felt love, but in that midst, perfected in betrayal. Her perfection and professionalism served only as a mask for a tainted soul, as she didn't know how to be happy with what she had. She flaunted everything she had and coveted for what she desired. For one named Lord Asriel, one would think that she used him, but with one birth of a child, that wasn't the case.
She was ashamed that she had made a mistake she would never take back, but as time went by, she understood that what was once invaluable became worth the world to her. The only flaw she thought she had was simply being the apple of one's eye, but it was far from that. She was too ambitious for her own good, and she wanted the world on a silver platter, but love was one emotion she couldn't fathom.
She was stoic in her words and felt that hate would save her the pain of heartbreak, that a barrier of icy supremacy would hold her from love's twisted and unforgiving grasp on humanity. This wouldn't save her though; hate can never save, not even from a snow queen.
