Chapter 10: A memory
I collapsed onto the ground, the tears flowing freely now.
"I...I lied. I didn't escape... I killed. I'm a murderer, and you know what? In some horrible, twisted way, I liked it." I didn't dare look up. It was already too much to just talk. "Do you still want to find out? About what I saw in fragment's of my memory? After you saw what it did to me?" Because now, the bottom half my face was slowly but surely being engulfed by black veins, that look a lot like vines. They seemed to pulse a deep blue as I talked, and I removed my coat to show the same thing on my arms.
"I'm being corrupted... you need to stay away from me!" I quickly said, my voice betraying my emotions.
"No, we can find a way to stop this!" Said Honeydew confidently, taking a step forward as I stepped back.
"You can't, I've tried everything... I need you to... to kill me."
They stared at me, like I had gone crazy.
"But... we can't!"
"You need to! Or else who knows what I will do, but I know I will no longer be Eva, but a monster."
"So tell us, who are you?" said Lalna, "What is your past?"
"I... I still don't know. I only know pieces, flashes."
"That doesn't matter, tell us what happened." Xephos said determinately.
"I... I was captured, tested on, I was stuck, and so alone, I had a sister... Her name was Tia, I missed her so much, then they pushed me too far, the toxins, called Jealousy... they... injected too much." I looked up, tears in my eye's. "I destroyed the whole city, I was so angry, I don't even know why, then Tia... she tried to save me, but I was past saving. She banished me, using her magic, but it had cost her her sanity, the last thing I remembered was her, broken, crushed, and crying on the floor."
They stood silent, not wanting to ask what happened next.
"My name isn't Eva. It just was on my mind, I must have hear it last, and I remembered it." They stared at me, their eye's wide.
"My name is Princess Luna, the joint ruler of the city Equestria." I chuckled, my breath raspy, "And for all I know, a dead city."
"That's... horrible E- I mean, Luna." Lalna finally said.
"I was the moon of the city, the mysterious, dark ruler. My sister was the sun, the one who always went to parties and was always loved. No one cared when I was kidnapped, only my dear sister. The citizen's were perfectly fine with me gone, if only their precious sun was left." I spat, then horrified at what I said.
"It's happening, you need to kill me, now!" I said frantically, looking at my hand's to the my veins were nearly completely black, easily see able on my pale skin. Xephos reluctantly drew his sword, but he was too late, I screamed, throwing my head back, and thunder can be heard near by. My teeth turned into sharp blades, my pupils turning to slits, and smoke seeped around me, I slumped forward. "Kill..." I muttered, looking up slowly. "Kill!" I screamed, the smoke eagerly lashing out, grabbing at it's prey. The three men dodged, grabbing their swords and running towards me, suddenly eager to finish me.
The smoke tried to grab them, but they always managed to dodge or slice at it, advancing closer to me. Above us, a massive storm cloud was brewing, causing quite a few people to come and investigate. Rythain and Zoey burst out of some bushes, now also under the influence of blood-lust, and instantly tried to kill me. But the smoke had kept them at bay.
But one fatal mistake, and somehow Honeydew was in front of me, "I CAN SWING MY SWORD!" He shouted before plunging the blade into my heart. As he did, he was released from the magic grip and instantly realised what he did.
The smoke cleared, to see Honeydew holding my dying corpse. The other's walked forward, completely silent. I opened my eyes, now back to normal.
"I knew this day would come." I whispered. "It was inevitable. So on my dying breath, I have some advice." I looked at Rythain and Zoey. "Open your eye's to see what is there, it may fade, but it will stay forever more." I created a small rose and gave it to them. I looked to Xephos and Honeydew. "Carry on digging my faithful friends, you will find what you need eventually." I gave them a small diamond. I looked at Lalna, now having major trouble's breathing. "Do not worry, your loneliness will not last forever, you treat her with respect." I smiled at his confused look, and gave him a small grass boat. Then, noticing Sjin had managed to appear, I looked at him. "Do not forget what matter's most, and may vegetable's flourish under your caring." I gave him some seeds.
Sighing, I smiled. "Now it's time, to say goodbye, my story has ended, with a simple she died." And with that, I let out my last dying breath.
