They say life is precious…
That no one has the right to kill…
The strong triumphs over the weak…
And that the meek shall inherit the earth.
Lies upon lies used to gain the favor of the majority…
Revenge does not know the meaning of such words.
I've come to know that fact…and I have become vengeful.
The monster inside rattles the cage as I pull the trigger…
The first real kill…
Splat…thud…lifeless…
Never have these sounds produced such a grand theme.
And never have such a soul as mine felt the levity of such insanity…
It feels good…
Too good that it's sickening.
…"I'll create a miracle"…
I give my mind a rundown of situation after situation.
A miracle will happen if things go according to the plan.
Willpower is needed…desire is needed…
Trust is required…
I will gain anything by any means necessary.
I will need everyone on my side…
But still there are those who seek different paths, even if it is the same goal.
I reach my hand, but it is not returned.
A fool leaves before me…and the monster again shakes the bars…
Whispering…
"You idiot"
…"Welcome to Ashford Academy!"…
You are friendly by nature…
You cherish every detail about humans so much…
Of course, you want to protect them; all of them…
I'm glad to see that side…
I'm glad to see her smile again as she graces your hand…
It always was you that managed to put the biggest smile on her face.
More so than I ever have…
Deep down, the monster knows…
I feel sickened, but I cannot hate you…
But as quick as you show up, you disappear back to my hated homeland.
I disappear too, to my own battlefield.
That is where my monster thrives the most.
And in a sense, I feel complete.
…"I'll stand by you"…
Such sentiments, from a fellow killer, are laughable…
As long as they trust me…a dirty camaraderie forms…
They fight, I fight, we all fight…
And we also slip up too…and it costs me dearly…
Jeopardized…threatened…
Dirtying my soul as I bear another needless burden.
They can never know…she cannot ever know…
Not until everything is over.
Once again another dawn comes, and another fight awaits…
And by the end, I'll know…
That even immortals are just as human as us.
My bonds grow closer…as one begins to lengthen…
The monster claws out to reach it, to keep it in my grasp…
I don't want to lose that bond…but even now, it's strained and taut by two lives…
I'm whole, but coming undone…
"Stay together" I hush to myself…
Stay together…
…"I will oppose you!"…
Of all people in this world, why do you have to stand against me?
This is not how I planned it…
But even so, not even such a revelation can stop me.
I'll find a way around…
They say that you can't run from the past…
No, it's just that the past will catch up no matter what.
And she too begins to undo my plans.
Naïve, foolish, caring, kind-hearted…
Another who seeks retribution for the past.
She's come with a plan to undo all my work…all my sacrifices jeopardized.
I can't let it happen…
I confront that threat, ready for anything…
Anything, except compliance. She's the only one who knew how to push my buttons.
I feel confused and strangely happy.
The monster, however, feels different. I let my guard down, and in an instant…
Once again, a blood-stained massacre.
The people pray for their savior…
"Don't do that" I whisper…
"Stop it"…
"Your savior won't help you"…
I'll take it away from you…everything, just to stop you from destroying yourself.
I'll use you…your actions will justify my existence…
I want it to stop now, before I lose everything…
…"Fight on!"…
Our sacrifices will not be in vain…
Destroy the enemy to put those souls to rest…
Even if it costs you your life…
The monster is close to escaping…I can feel the lock weakening…
The world is nearing my grasp…the goal is in sight…
The burden is on my shoulders, its weight pulling me down.
I'll fight to protect my dearest bonds…I want to stand tall again after this is over.
I trust my followers to do the same.
The monster howls…my livelihood is threaten…my reason is in the hands of my enemy.
"Give it back" I scream…
"You can't have it. It's mine!"
One sacrifice of the immortal, and countless followers, and what do I get in return?
A knife pointed to my throat…
Why do you have to ruin everything?
Can't you see that we fight for the same thing?
Even so, you raise your hand in defiance.
Infernal words of betrayal unleash the monster inside.
I strike with everything I've got…
With every fiber of my being, with every sin that I've committed, with every ounce of hatred I have…
…"You're existence is a mistake!"…
…Why?…
Why...won't...you…help…me…
...please...just...
…trust…
…
