Chapter 6: Wrath
O how sacred, how serene, how benevolent
That incessant singing. She can't stand it. Get up from her unmade bed and walks through the filth to the window. Opens it, grabs a stone from the ground, flings it outside.
It doesn't hit the bird. It scares it away. Same effect.
"Why'd you try to kill it?"
Why? Can she put the enmity she feels for the bird to words? Her family's namesake?
Her brother presses on.
"You know, it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
"Well, this wasn't a mockingbird. Just a songbird. And why can't you kill a mockingbird? All it does is mock."
Who could argue that logic?
Yeah… I know it's short. The next one is long though and so is the one after that.
Rosebleed and Zarola, you guys rock. And yes, I did have lovely holidays, thanks. :)
Glensather, yeah, you are right this time. She's starting to have second thoughts because things are getting too serious for her. Xavier (who is my equivalent to Red X lol) is not staying within the boundaries of the world she has created to escape. That makes things too real for her. Not only would him say that he love her make her feel guilty, but it also brings all the horrible things in her past come rushing back to her as she is reminded that she is not Rachel, but Raven. It's a slap in the face for her.
