A/N: My first story in Fanfiction. Please do give constructive criticism.
Fate:Stay - Prologue –
Raven POV
I should've listened to Seris and ran away with her sooner. Should've at least kept her warnings of Alex's betrayal in my mind. I had refused to run, claiming that Alex would never betray us. With my fist clenching in regret, I thought of the things that will never happen now. Marrying Seris, having children, and living my life to its fullest.
But now, it's all too late. Far too late to do anything. My beloved's corpse lay in the grass, her blood staining it crimson red. I touched her beautiful face, carving it into my brain. She looked as if she was only sleeping, with her eyes closed and her hair fanned out in the grass. How much do I wish that's true.
I heard maniacal laughter behind me and turned to look at the culprit. The reason for her death stood right in front of me.
The devil himself stood at the edge of the clearing. His eyes glittered with a combination amusement and malice. Had the situation been different, I would've marveled at the fact that the Devil was my former best friend, Alex.
"I told you already Raven, if I can't have her, no one will." His smug voice irked me. I didn't want to hear the voice of my betrayer. Then again, I won't live long enough to hear it again.
"Just kill me already." I really didn't care any more about my life. She was my life. My fiancé was dead and I will follow her to where she is now. Wherever she goes, I go.
"What's the magic word?" His voice taunted me not wanting to give me the release death gave.
I looked at him, my eyes hollow and lifeless.
"Please." I begged, desperate to leave this world and join my fiancé. Pride did not stop me from begging the person who betrayed me.
The Devil only sneered. Alex, what have you become?
"Very well. Death will welcome you as it welcomed her. Of course there is a price."
"Anything," I said. Anything as long as I join her.
"Then die slowly, my dear best friend." He smirked. Using his long scythe, he quickly sliced off my left arm.
I gasped in pain. Holding onto what's left of my arm, I glared at him through a haze of pain.
"I never said it would be painless." Alex looked at me and smirked again. "Letting you die like this... You should know your status, commoner."
He turned to leave but stopped. He then whispered loud enough for me to hear. "You should've gave up on her and broke off the engagement before things came to this." He sounded almost like he regretted doing this.
"But I loved her too, Alex." I could never forgive him for doing this. Even if he was in love with Seris as well.
Alex turned again. This time he looked at me in the eyes. An emotion flickered in his own eyes; I recognized it as hatred. Hatred for everyone and everything, including himself.
"Everything," he snapped, "everything is your fault!" With those words, he left without a backwards glance.
And so it seems that he blames me for this.
"Seris..." I whispered softly to her lifeless body. "I will join you soon."
My vision was already getting blurry from the loss of blood. I looked at my beloved's face one last time. I wanted to her face to be the last thing I saw.
I closed my eyes, welcoming death. But for some strange reason, I heard clicking noises near me. Opening my eyes slowly, I saw many robotic machines moving slowly around me. They must be Nasods.
What could they be here for? Nasods don't usually mingle with humans, especially ones that are about to die.
By now, I felt light-headed. Is this what it feels like to die?
With my last slowing breaths, I heard something rather odd.
"King of Nasods, we have found the human You are looking for. He is slowly dying. Do You wish for us to keep him alive?" an emotionless voice droned.
After a pause, the emotionless voice continued, "Very well my King, we will keep him alive until you wish to experiment on him."
Keep me alive? Experiment? Alarm filled me when I heard those words. No! I wanted to join Seris.
The alarm on my face must have warned them of my refusal to comply with their orders because, minutes later, I felt a cold needle prick my neck. Before long, my head spun as I lost consciousness.
That day, I died. But, on that same day, I was also reborn. As a monster.
A/N: I revised it, thanks to RubyCrusade's review. (Edited 7/28/13)
To RubyCrusade: Thank you so much for reviewing it! It showed me everything that I was doing wrong. Don't worry about being harsh, if you don't mind can you do that everytime you review (that is if you want to review my stories)? Criticism helps me see my flaws easier. And... OMG! I thought my summary sucks! I'm still trying to think about another one but... I'm not good at those things sigh... Anyway MANY THANKS FOR REVIEWING!
