Breathe

Don't whimper, don't cry, don't even breathe. Let the world sink in through your skin. You have to be strong for us. You're just a child, just a boy. You're a lucky boy, shouldn't be here, shouldn't be anywhere, you shouldn't even breathe. I'll protect you, nurture you, make up for them never being here. They weren't here even when they were alive. You've always been alone. They don't love you, didn't love you, there's something wrong with you. You're a monster, in their eyes, the world's eyes. But to me you're special, an angel, you are loved. So why do you need her? You can have me. I love you, need you, adore you, breathe you. You could be my child. Your parents abandoned you, forgot you, left you. They didn't have to die, they wanted to, to escape from you. You are hated, forgotten, neglected, lonely. I am your Guardian. I am perfect for you. Forget about them, her, him, I am a perfect replacement. You don't need your family, your other Guardians, your so-called Savior. All you need is me, my flames, my ever watchful eyes. I will never let you go.

Years Later:

He had to go. That man could see me tell you I was near. He wanted to take me away. He said he was concerned but he wasn't. Same with the boy and the woman and your so called Savior. I told you, you were hated, neglected, forgotten. I can hold you, love you, adore you. You are mine. Always mine. Never leave, you can't leave. I'm yours, your Guardian. I will protect you with my flames and my ever watchful eyes. You're a man, a very lucky man. They shouldn't have been here, anywhere, they shouldn't have even been breathing. The redhead denied you, the boy taunted you, the woman hated you, your so called Savior controlled you. I'll protect you, nurture you, make up for them being gone. So don't whimper, don't cry, don't even breathe, Momma's here Raphael they can't hurt you anymore.

And that was the last word's I heard as Guardian Dreadscythe plunged the blade deep into my chest. Guess I'm in hell now. At least I'll see my real family again.
