-Walking In The Rain-
A sound that had nearly as much frequency as an explosion echoed throughout the indigo evening skies. It would have been a lovely sight to behold, seeing the sky close up, but beggars can't be choosers.
I looked up, noting patches of dark clouds quickly gathering together. Flashes of light were now dancing in the heavens. It was going to be a full out down pour.
I didn't rush back to my dormitory- nor towards the infirmary, which is really where I should be headed, I wanted to linger around for this. I had just returned from a mission which didn't go exactly as planned. Though that's what normally happens when I go on missions. I return with copious amounts of injuries. I return to many worried people, the ones I hold close. Friends. People I didn't deserve.
This time, my ankle was sprained, and large bruise it had been wonderfully decorated with had this disgusting blue-purple color. I sighed as I looked at my knee. The skin on it was peeled, and it continued bleeding. I hadn't bothered to wrap it quite yet. My left arm wasn't in any better condition. The sleeve was torn off and I had a large gash on my forearm, blood dripping from it. The cloth I wrapped around that wasn't doing it's job well. As I limped back, I just watched the blood flow along my body. My Alice certainly made me feel like I was some sort of monster, and it's not like what the students said wasn't true. How they called me murderer. While I'm out doing the school's dirty work, I had to destroy buildings. I knew most likely there were people in it. People who were screaming for help. Possibly women. Children. Babies. They were slowly reaching their demise. Skin discoloring and melting off, meat following right after. The vision of it made me sick. I hate my life. And furthermore, I hate myself, and the things I had to do because of this damned curse.
I was snapped away from my thoughts momentarily as a large droplet of water crashed against my head. Another. Another. Before I knew it, the rain was coming down hard. It washed the scarlet liquid tainting my body. I sighed, then shivered, wrapping my arms around my sopping wet body. The rain was cold.
But I loved the rain. I tried to spend as much time as I could out in this weather. Not because it was dreary. That is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard, a person liking weather because it suit their personality. I liked rain because it was soothing. Comforting.
It washed away all the impurities, the sins. Even if only for moments.
But the best thing of all was that in this weather, I'm absolutely powerless. My Alice doesn't work, and I can't harm anything with it.
Powerless. Helpless.
It makes me feel...
Human.
