Antimony

by bellairestrella

Looks are deceiving, you know. An invisible façade that's hard to see through is put up, a barrier of sorts. You'll have to really see, to get past that invisible barrier, to find out who and what that person is really like.

2. Reborn

I honestly don't know what to think of you anymore. You were my worst enemy at first, but now all that's changed. You gave me blood when no one else would, and that too to help me, even though I didn't deserve it.

I was horrible to you, and now I feel horrible all because of your bloody goodness towards me. Damn you, Gayatri – what do I have to do to bring you down? You're turning me into a softie; now I will be unable to have my redemption on you. Damn it, is this all a part of your game plan or are you being genuinely sincere?

How would I know now? You're breaking all my defenses . . I can't think anymore. Stop it Gayatri, stop it.

Just stop it.

But you know what? I can't make you stop it . . because now, thanks to you, I've completely changed. Completely transformed myself. It's like I have been reborn – any trace of my old self, the person I was before, "Sheetal the Snake," if you will, is gone.

And I have you to thank it all for now. It's a wonderful feeling, honestly – I can't ever remember feeling this way before. Maybe it's because I've never felt it before.

And after experiencing this feeling, I want to keep on feeling it. It's the best feeling in the world, I know, and there's absolutely nothing like that. Not even being evil and vicious gave me this sort of pleasure – this beyond pleasant feeling.

Quite honestly now, although I have never felt this way before – now I've learned my lesson, and now I'll have this feeling inside me forever.

The truth always wins. That I know now, thanks to you, Gayatri, and Tara. Malevolence got me nowhere – but now, being the person I can be will get me anywhere, and beyond, if that's possible.

But then, anything with me is possible.
