Author's Note:

So this is a bit sad and I apologize in advance. I've been reading fan-fiction for years (like many years lol) and I finally think it's time that I contribute something. So this is the result of that...I warn you that my grammar is definitely not perfect and my writing is a little rough...I've never been the greatest writer. lol. Anyways if you've come this far I'm sure you aren't here to listen to me complain about grammar…

SO on you go… :)


A Desperate Decision

Ironic isn't it. That it had come to this…

Suyin, hovering over Kuvira with her hands around her throat. With her knees on the younger woman's thighs preventing her escape. Suyin was silent as she squeezed as hard as she could. Tears ran down her face, falling onto the woman below. She wasn't just doing this for Zaofu, but for herself. No more would the woman haunt her dreams or waking thoughts. She had convinced herself that the only way she could live without her was by force. For too long she had suppressed her feelings and it was beginning to drive her mad.

And now as hard as it was looking into the eyes below her, she couldn't look away. She wanted to watch as every last second pulled Kuvira further and further away from life…and away from her. Her mind was going numb to the world around her and she had forgotten about the sons she left outside; not wanting them to witness just how personal this was. She ignored the hands that were desperately clawing and grabbing at her, beginning to leave marks.

Time seemed to stop as the hands that were gripping onto her fell limp; one falling over the side of the bed. It must have been too painful to watch, as Suyin never realized she had closed her eyes. But now the only thing she saw were a lifeless pair of eyes looking back. She ran an unsteady hand over Kuvira's face, closing her eyes in the process. Leaning down, the final act of love she could give was a chaste kiss, softly placed on Kuvira's forehead.

Distraught, she stumbled off the bed.

She walked, lingering on every footstep to the middle of the room. For a moment all she could do was stand. There were no rationalizing questions in her head asking if what she had done was right. No thoughts, No conscience, No voices. Right now, in this moment there was nothing but silence.

Shut down from herself and her emotions, she had the perfect opportunity to leave. She could have walked out of the room, telling her sons that the mission had been accomplished. But she made one grave mistake…

She turned around.

Looking at Kuvira's motionless body brought her back to reality. In shock, her eyes opened wide comprehending what she had done. Horrid emotions flooded her mind as she slowly staggered to the nearest wall of the darkened room. With a quivering hand she covered her mouth and leaned her forehead against the metal wall; placing her other hand on the wall for support. Without realizing that the metal beneath her fingers was beginning to warp, she slid down and started to cry.
