Vero
I was still frozen in place, physically at least, my mind was still fully functional, thank Arceus. I could do anything that didn't involve moving my body, which was more than most others could, but still not much. Any little bit counts though, and it certainly did here… partially…
I had witnessed something I would rather blank from my mind, but I needed to think about it regardless. Who else was going to let others know? I had to let others know that I just saw Kuro nearly get incinerated and then taken away by a psycho-looking delphox who seemed to be intrigued by everything. I replayed the scene in my head a few times, and shivered repeatedly. The aftermath of that attack… Kuro did not look… good…
About ninety percent of his fur was visibly charred, and the parts that weren't in that state were straight up missing fur, replaced by intense burn marks. It was pretty gruesome… He is not in a good state… and to think that I still can't even move a muscle… Talk about being useless…
Whatever the hell that delphox did froze everyone here, and I thought it would wear off after she left, maybe she would get out of range or something, but that was clearly not the case, seeing as she was now who knows where, and I was still prevented all motion. A huge part of me was just frustrated at the fact that I couldn't move, other parts of me were worried about Kuro's safety, other's were worried about what's going to happen when we can indeed move again and the locals possibly try and attack me, there was a ton to think about, and I couldn't even let out a frustrated sigh. How are we all even breathing when we're stuck like this..?
I was about to try something stupid, but I felt an unbelievable amount of weight fall over my whole body, which turned into an intense pressure, ending with me falling to the ground. I coughed a few times, caught off guard by the fact that my body actually changed positions. I very swiftly pushed myself up and awkwardly fiddled with my forepaws, making sure I actually had control, which I was glad to figure out was indeed the case. As soon as I confirmed it through, the nausea hit, and I fell to my knees once more.
Through my awful stomach sensation, I looked up and saw all of the locals here regain their movement in a similar manner as I did, most of them immediately going to where the corpse of one of their friends was. Or what they thought was a corpse.
I closed my eyes and focused, gagging a bit, but making sure that I didn't submit quite yet. The burnt, bloody corpse slowly ebbed away, with nothing replacing it other than a perfectly healthy vigoroth, who looked around cluelessly. After I opened my eyes again and verified that I didn't screw up, I smiled to myself, and immediately turned around and vomited on the ground. Ugh… Not used to using them… especially for that long…
I finished releasing not so pleasant things from my stomach, and wiped a bit of sweat off of my head. The fur all over my body felt drenched, it seems like I was way more nervous than I thought at first. I had been sweating buckets the whole time, other than when we were all frozen. Not like any of that nervousness left me though, I was still as uneasy as could be as I turned my body, facing the rest of the locals, happy and relieved to see that their companion was okay. I had the same feelings to a very small extent, that being because I had no idea where Kuro was taken, and alternatively, what all of these locals were about to try and do. I was drained for the most part, so running wouldn't be the best idea.
All of their eyes soon turned to me after they were satisfied with their friend being okay, and anxiety quickly rose from within me. I gulped, not sure what was about to happen. I mean, I could barely stand at the moment, and I was a 'demon' to them, so what was going to stop them from just… kind of killing me? Nothing is stopping them… isn't there?
A few of them, primely the vigoroth and a hitmontop walked over to me, and stood right before my body. I resisted glaring at the hitmontop who made our job decidedly harder, not wanting to make the situation any worse than it already was. An awkward silence passed between us, and I was thoroughly expecting to get kicked in the face. Please have some decency…
"Why are two demons here?" The hitmontop asked sternly, as if nothing had just happened. I nearly lost it just from that first question, just from the fact that one of us 'demons' is the reason he's freaking alive. I barely managed to keep my cool, and composed myself to answer.
"We're here to help you, nothing more. We aren't a threat." I responded. That should have been obvious…
The two glanced at one another and then back at me. "All demons are. All demons and all angels. You only want to manipulate and hurt us." Now that nearly made me go berserk.
I tried to suppress myself again, but didn't do nearly as good of a job. "We what? Want to manipulate and hurt you? We literally just saved two of you from death! At our own expense!" I growled a bit before trying to calm down. "Why are you trying so hard to antagonize us? We defended you, and you still say things like that!?" I did not do a good job at calming down.
"You didn't do anything but fight the angel, the other demon is the one who took the hit, and it was to gain trust. That's all." I hate this guy sooooooo much.
"How do you think he's alive?" I pointed to the vigoroth. "You saw it all, you smelt the burning flesh, tell me how you think he's alive." The hitmontop seemed taken aback by my aggression, but only for a second.
"The delphox was only warning us, in order to cause you demons to leave." His voice sounded decidedly less confident, despite still being stern. I still could barely keep calm.
"Warning? She warned us? She literally almost burned my friend alive in front of all of you! If she wanted us gone, she would have just killed us and left!" I shouted back.
"Then how is he alive if it wasn't at the will of them?"
"I hid him with an illusion! All of that was fake! It could have happened, but it was prevented!" I progressively got louder. "All we've done here is help you lot, so some appreciation instead of baseless ridicule would be lovely!" I took a breath. I need to chill out.. "Especially my friend that was here, who knows where he is now? He was well aware that attack would put him out of commission, and he took it anyway, in order to make sure you didn't die from it." My voice lowered, and I calmed down a bit.
Again, the two standing in front of me looked surprised, as if they didn't expect me to speak out like that, and I even got a few glances from the rest of the locals, grouped up a decent distance behind them, near the cave-like prison structure. "Explain more then, why did they attack you in the first place? The mawile and then the delphox?"
"They're a part of an organization that commits many evil deeds, and well, we're with their rival. We had word that they would be near this area, so the two of us were going to make sure nothing bad happened here. It looks like… they sent way more than we could handle though. The point is, we were here to stop them from hurting you, that's all. Neither of us have any ill intentions with the locals here, and I think that's evident now." I took a breath after my explanation, hoping that one of these two would have the decency to at least consider our position. It's all I could hope for at the moment, being that I was too exhausted to fight back or run if they tried anything.
The hitmontop seemed to contemplate in his mind, which was mirrored by the vigoroth next to him. Did I finally get some sense into their heads..? After a second or two, they turned to me once more. "This goes against almost everything we know. You shouldn't want to help us at all." The vigoroth spoke this time.
"Everything you know..?" I questioned, tilting my head. "Who taught you as such?" now i'm curious.
"Our lord." Lord..? "He taught us everything we know, and we follow his will." My face went from one of confusion to that of dumbfounded.
I was about to ask the obvious question, but it seemed like it wasn't necessary, as a new presence joined the three of us. Behind the other two, towering over them, was a haxorus, looking down at both of them as well as me, holding a calm expression to contrast its bulky physique. As soon as the hitmontop and vigoroth respectively noticed them, they both turned around completely and bowed down, getting into a similar position that I happen to be holding because of my exhaustion. It only took my mind a fraction of a second to put together who this most likely was, and as soon as I managed, I pushed myself off of the ground and stood before them, our size difference being quite evident. My legs felt weak, and my body just a bit heavy, but I stood regardless, looking at the now arrived pokemon.
There was an incredibly awkward pause between us, as they took a bit before wanting to speak, and I felt admittedly intimidated, being that I couldn't fight if I needed to at the moment. Part of me was glad that the other two didn't seem as if they were fixing to attack me any more, and the other part of me was scared that they were about to be commanded to do so. I tried to hide my inner thoughts, waiting for words to be spoken. "Hello there." A polite tone entered my ears, followed by the haxorus bowing his head down a bit. "Sorry to have troubled you with our ideologies, thank you for saving one of us. You have my appreciation."
I felt confused and conflicted, more so than prior. Why is he giving me respect..? Not that I'll complain. I only felt compelled to ask one thing, and that I did. "Are you their 'Lord..?'"
A second passed, and the haxorus rose their head once more with a small nod. "I am. These are my children, all of which hold my teachings." He spoke again, politely. "You saved one of us, may I ask your name? As well as the name of your friend?" I am beyond baffled…
I contemplated my response for a quick second. "My name is Vero, I was sent here to help you all. My associate's name is Kuro." I attempted to copy his tone, not wanting to seem rude, still unable to fight if I needed to.
"Thank you both, for your help. My name is Apex, and the ones who live here are my children. You have our sincerest gratitude, and I send my best wishes for your friend, Kuro, as well as yourself." He bowed his head once more.
As polite as he was at the moment, I felt rather creeped out by him. I wanted to ask more questions, but I didn't know if it was worth the risk. I mean, his 'Children' didn't care much about what Kuro and I had to say earlier, so why was the one who implemented all of this so much more willing? It scared me to continue the conversation, but who says that me leaving wouldn't just end with being chased? There was too much to think about and consider for me to make a safe decision, they both had their risks, and I wasn't able to avoid all of it. "As sudden as this is, what exactly are your teachings..?"
He didn't answer immediately, instead, he looked down upon me and observed. His presence was heavy, I couldn't really describe why, but I felt so small in front of him, figuratively and literally. "You are a curious one I see, what an admirable trait." He closed his eyes and took a breath. "We are a small family, an unchanging family, and we don't welcome those who are outside with open arms. All of those who are outside only aim to dismember us, and tear us away from one another, end our family. We can't let let that happen, our only concern is to stay stable, to stay as one, and treat others as if they're enemies. All of the outside contains nothing but adversity."
My mind was blank for the most part after Apex finished speaking. I tried to decipher what exactly he meant, but none of it directly answered my question. All it did was make me think that he had a certain way with his words, a charismatic tone and voice. An overall attitude that rubbed me the wrong way. None of what he said stuck with me, while thinking about his voice, I couldn't see any of this being a family. I immediately saw it as a blind crowd, and this guy is at the helm. I very well could be wrong though, these were just my initial thoughts after he explained himself a little. He missed some very important details though. "What part of that causes the disdain towards dark and fairy types? Or as you call them, angels and demons?" That's what I really wanted answered.
"Those are simply names my children conceived. Pokemon of types dark and fairy aren't present within our family, any of those that have attempted to associate themselves with us, they have tried to seperate us. Over time, we saw that pattern, and we treated them as hostile, as most would seem. I see now that there are exceptions to that ideology, those being you and your companion. You helped us, as opposed to attacking us, which proves that my teachings may not consistent in all areas." I noticed something off about Apex, but I didn't do anything about it. "My children and I will exempt the two of you from our sight of hostility, you deserve it."
I processed every bit of what Apex said as he talked. "Don't you think that your ideology is unreasonable though?" I may have been pushing it, but I was willing to press my luck. "Living in isolation like this doesn't seem to adhere to your teachings, everyone who willingly joined under you needs to have been an 'outsider' at one point or another."
Apex looked down at me, and I once more, caught something. "Not at all, we are well within reason, the whole family. All of us are here, willingly living with one another, as a family." That's all I'm willing to pry from him.
I gave Apex a simple nod. "Thank you for answering my questions, I have important business to attend to, so I think I'll be on my way." I just want to get out of here…
"I understand, thank you once more, for your help." He lowered his head once more, and without waiting any longer, I turned around and walked away, with two things on my mind.
Contacting Core and informing him of the situation.
The periodic twitching that Apex had.
Kuro
Time was passing.
I laid down, stuck to the dirt, my restraints much tighter, now even restricting me from moving an inch, thanks to a report of an 'issue.' My whole body burned less, but ached where the burning left. I didn't get hit by something that I was just going to heal from overnight, I was hit with something that was going to take its toll on me. I would occasionally twitch, causing me to make sure that I didn't forget that my being was recovering. The entire time, I was locked in my thoughts, sparratically thinking about what could be happening outside of where I was stuck.
I thought about how Vero was faring, most likely frozen with a bunch of pokemon who may or may not be hostile towards her. Hopefully she'll make it out okay… I have no idea what ends those pokemon will go to.
My mind then traveled to how Naru, Shiro, and Charm were doing, if they made it back to the Nest safely, if all of them are doing well, if Charm is okay with being in such a new environment. If they know that I'm stuck here, and not able to come back to them…
I coughed, causing my throat to burn up again, which I was starting to get used to, so much so that I just didn't care about it. My whole body was starting to adapt to the feeling of smoldering heat, which I didn't know if I should view as a positive or a negative. During my time here, after my least favorite pokemon on the planet paid me a visit, I've been alone, occasionally being approached by someone hiding their identity, to force feed me. I had no idea what they would give me, but it kept me sedated for unhealthy amounts of time. It wasn't normal food for sure, and it told me that the Void didn't want me to starve to death, so they did actually need me for something I was still ignorant to.
As curious as I was for the purpose, I was just as worried about what they were going to do in order to accomplish said purpose. I couldn't do a thing to resist to any action placed upon me, so I was at the will of the Void, the one body I don't want to be controlled by. They had the resources to make me into something that wasn't a pokemon, to hurt me, to torture me, they could do anything. Not knowing what exactly they had planned was eating me from the inside out though. I hadn't been this afraid in a very long time.
My fear multiplied over a second, as I heard the familiar deafening sound of a door opening, prompting the same reaction I had every time it happened, jerking my head away and shutting my eyes tightly. I never got a better look around the room I was in, All I saw was the ground, and the rocky walls, I never had the chance to investigate anything else. Not that it really mattered in the end, my situation wouldn't change based on the room I was in, it wasn't that simple. This would end up the same way as always,I was going to be fed something I wasn't familiar with, and then left alone for another indiscernible amount of time.
Much to my partial dismay, I heard the doors soon close as soon as they opened, and nothing was forced into my mouth this time. I was confused, but felt the presence of someone close to me, very close to me. I still couldn't see though, the only thing within my vision was an empty, black space, but I felt their breath. It was uncomfortably warm, it made my whole body uneasy, as did the presence in the first place. It creeped me out that much more because of my positioning, chained to the ground, on my back, meaning whoever this was had to be leaning so closely over me to the point of practically laying on me. I caught myself shivering a bit, unable to think cohesively, due to fear.
A paw ever so gently grazed my face, and my whole body, my entire mind froze. All it took was a second for everything to stop in my head.
"Oh Kuro~"
A voice rang through the room, one that nearly gave me a panic attack. One that I've heard many times in my head, over and over. One that I heard a long time ago, from nearly the same position. My heart stopped, and I felt beads of sweat begin to form on my body. My chest started to tighten, and I had a hard time breathing. My body started to involuntarily shake, and a dim light showed itself, right before my head, coming from a ring located on the umbreon leaning over me. One that I recognized clear as day.
"Being so close to you again excites me more than you know~" My breathing became harder and harder to take place. "Aw, what's the matter? You were better last time, back on the ship."
I barely heard anything she said. My mind was flooding, overflowing with memories I wished to hold down forever. It was clear that I wouldn't be able to hold them back forever, but all of them were released at once, all with the voice of this umbreon, the voice of the pokemon I feared above anyone else. She sent my senses into a state of stasis, where they were numb, where I couldn't will myself to speak up at all, or even move. Even my trembling stopped, I was completely and utterly frozen.
"Are you going to say anything? Or will I do all of the talking?" I gulped hard and began shaking again without chance of help. "You're going to need to speak eventually, but why don't we work up to that? First, I'll do some talking for you, I'm sure you have questions after all." My mind, body, and emotions were mute.
"The biggest question on your mind is probably why you're here, and why you're not dead. Believe me, I would kill you in a heartbeat after a few hours in torture, but I need some information out of you. Maybe after you give it to me, I'll let you go back to your little friends, your beloved glaceon." My mind was only able to pick up bits and pieces of what she said. I understood only that she needed information from me, and then she would let me go back to the Nest, where I belonged. Back with Naru.
"If you cooperate well, who knows? Maybe you won't need to suffer at all, and perhaps you can be out of here as soon as you give it up, as soon as you talk, we can personally deliver you back to the ones you want to be close to. Understand?" Staring into the barely visible red irises in front of me, I gave a small nod. I wasn't thinking straight at the moment, I couldn't, I was too scared.
"Good boy, all you need to do is explain, and you'll be out of here." My body's shaking picked up more. I was no longer frozen, which could have been considered a small improvement, though nothing more.
"Your parents, great pokemon, weren't they? They were worthy of respect, and they obtained it for sure. From one another and from many around them, they were loved and looked up to. I remember their last day on this planet, such a sad day, and equally as invigorating." Invigorating..? My mind hung on that word. She obviously wouldn't be bothered by my parents being gone, she was one of the three who came specifically to kill them. "They explored, they helped, they did so much for everyone, what accomplished pokemon. I'm not going to ask you for your opinion on them or anything, something much more material." Material..?
I wanted to dig into my mind and think about what she was talking about, but being that I was still quite literally terrified out of my mind, that wasn't an option. I couldn't help but take note of the way Luna talked though. I hated it. It was easy to tell why she chose her words the way she did, and why her voice had a mellow tone. "Beyond all of their individual strengths and weaknesses, those two, together, they were practically perfect, wouldn't you say? They made up for one another's flaws, and were of one mind. The were always on the same page, no matter what. They were always together, they looked out for one another, they were a single soul." I felt my rings start to glow, lighting up the room a bit more, much to my dismay, as I wasn't happy with the prospect of staring at Luna point blank.
"What's the matter? Getting emotional?" she put on a disgusting smirk and my shakling went from that of only fear, to that of fear and anger. Her just sitting here and talking about them, talking about the ones who made and nurtured me so casually, when she may as well have been the one to end them both, I hated it. It irked me, gave me discomfort, and I despised the idea of it. I couldn't stand her, period. "I won't go for much longer, don't worry dear Kuro. As I said, all I want is one small piece of information. That's the only thing. Then you're off to all of the new friends you made." I had no idea how to take her words.
"Both of your parents, while they worked at the nest, but not on the day they died, had a piece of apparel on, more specifically, a deep blue scarf, and a shining green gem. Two gorgeous accessories if I do say, suited the two of them just fine." She paused, smiling at me with the same exact expression as earlier. "Tell me, where have those accessories gone to?"
I took some time, Luna wasn't speaking, awaiting an answer from me. Instead of my mind being frozen, it bounced from one place to the next faster than I could describe. Initially, I wondered why, of all things, does she want to know where mom's old scarf is, and dad's necklace. To me, that alone didn't make any sense. They were only accessories after all, ones that those two loved with all their heart. She wanted to know where they were, and then she would let me go, I wouldn't be tortured, killed, or separated from the others for any longer, I would go right back to them. I was stuck in that narrow thought, the option of getting out of here. My fear was forcing me to focus on that and only that, getting away from Luna. As far away as I possibly could.
I knew exactly where the two accessories were, both of which in my parents' old room, in that small little hill I called home. I saw them both when I went to visit with Naru, that's where they were located. All I had to do was give a simple answer, tell her where they were, and I was free, away from the terror that was ever so present in my mind, away from Luna, away from all of the threats that were less than a mile away from me, away from it all. Back to the Nest, back to everyone I loved to be around, back to my normal life. All I had to do was speak up. All I had to do was speak a short sentence. The accessories are where you killed them. That's all I needed to say.
Seconds passed.
Minutes passed.
My mouth still wouldn't move.
My temptations, they were there, so present that all I did was think about the prospect of swallowing my fear and talking, then getting taken back to where I belonged. That's what I wanted, that's all that I wanted. I wanted to go back, make sure Vero was okay, make sure everyone at the Nest is safe, and go back, and spend time with Naru and Shiro. That's all I wanted.
But I didn't talk.
As close as I was to giving up every bit of information I had, based on fear alone, I didn't. My thoughts caught up with my panicked brain, and my rationality saved me. What does she need them for? Why would she ever want simple accessories? Why would she go to such ends as to send a high-ranking Void admin our way, just to capture me, take me to a place that isn't even their normal base, just for a scarf and and necklace? What possible reason could she have?
I held my tongue for longer.
I gulped, feeling every small twitch my body was in the process of making.
"I-I-I… I-I refuse…" I gave all of my effort, and I managed to get two words out, the only ones I needed to. She wanted them for something, what it was, I had no idea. There was no possible way it was for a good purpose though. I couldn't fathom how, but she must have been able to do something dangerous with the two pieces, there wasn't another explanation. For that reason, I couldn't tell her where they were. That wasn't an option, not when I risk her gaining more power than she already has at her disposal. That's all it was, a risk, one there was no way I was taking. Too many gray areas, not enough information in my head, not enough of a chance that everything would turn out okay.
Luna's expression was unchanging, still staring into my soul. Ever so slowly, her smile grew, and she let out a laugh. "I knew you wouldn't let it go easily, you're just not the type to crack, are you?" She sighed, and her voice lost its mellow tone. It was annoyed, back to how I heard Luna all other times she talked. Back to Luna, not a persona. "Everything has its breaking point though, and I know just what buttons to push in order to force you to yours." Her smile grew once more, and she brought her head closer to mine, and my terror just rose. Much more than I could describe.
I wanted to protest, to interject her, to say something, but my mind was still stuck, trapped in the fear I've had this whole time. At this point in time, I was nothing. I was incapable. I was useless. Actually, useless isn't the right word.
I'm helpless.
Just like before.
"Say, Kuro, I haven't heard you scream in a long time, not even the last time we crossed paths, I haven't gotten much out of you since you were but a small eevee." She licked her lips, right next to my ear, making me shiver uncomfortably. "I think that should change today."
Luna slowly brought one of her forepaws up to her face, in between the two of us. It bagan to emanate a dull glow, not comparing to the shine from both of our rings, hers from excitement, mine from fear. The dim light ever so steadily solidified, turning into a translucent purple sabre of sorts. Just the sight of it filled me with more unease.
"This is a rather interesting ability I have, you see, this looks dangerous, doesn't it?" She waved the sharp-looking light in front of my face. "It doesn't have the capability of causing physical injury, despite how it looks. You wouldn't believe how much time and effort it took to master something like this, it wasn't very easy. It may not injure you, but it has a purpose that I adore." She put her paw down, and slowly dragged the side of it down my chest, creating very small shocks through my body. She continued until the blade reached one of my hind legs.
"It hurts like hell."
She jammed it into my leg, and my vision blacked out for a split second. I couldn't see a thing, all just vanished, until color filled my eyes again. It was almost a reflex to scream right after, the pain was sharp, as if I had been shred apart by something sharp, I gasped, but quickly clamped my teeth into the inside of my mouth, immediately drawing blood, but it kept me from screaming. I didn't want her to let me scream, that's what she wanted, she wanted me to yell, to let my voice out in agony, but I didn't want to give her that. As long as I could help it, I didn't want to give her any satisfaction whatsoever. My leg burned from my previous injuries, and now had such an awful, sharp, intense pain accompanying it. I was biting myself hard, feeling my own blood begin to enter my mouth.
Luna began laughing, not like before though. She was different now, this wasn't just a sadistic laugh, it was meanicing, it was one that had hunger for more. "Come on little Kuro, yell for me, scream!"
She started to press the sabre deeper into my leg, making me bite into myself more, resisting any possible sounds I might make to signal the unimaginable pain I was feeling. The entirety of my body was still trembling, but my leg in particular was intensely shaking from the new extreme feeling. I felt the urge to scream bubble up, but I resisted, I continued doing nothing but resisting as much as I possibly could.
"C-Come on, yell, scream, show me your pain!" Luna was breathing heavily now, moving the sabre up and down my leg, intensifying the pain that much more. The sick umbreon's rings began to shine brightly, and I had to hold back much more. The pain was getting worse and worse by the second, I was on the verge of straight up passing out from it. The blade felt like it was breaking through my bones, it felt like it was tearing my flesh apart slowly and painfully, but if it actually was, I would be bleeding from places that weren't my mouth. As far as I knew, I wasn't I was just under the most amount of pain I ever have been. Not any amount of recoil I've felt in the past, not any injury I have sustained, none of it added up to this. I couldn't fathom how much was stored in my leg, it was enough to make me go insane.
Another second passed, and I felt a few drops of something on my other hind leg, though I wasn't sure as to what. I couldn't think about it much either, I was too busy resisting my vocal recognition of pain. I took it as Luna getting carried away and accidentally giving me an injury, that was the only thought that popped into my head, as my mind slowly cracked from the incomprehensible feeling within me. The bubbling urge to yell grew more and more, she would stop if I screamed, but then what? Would she ask me to talk again, and when I refuse, just repeat? I didn't know, and I was afraid to find out.
"Y-You're breaking, I can tell! Do it!" Her tone sounded more and more desperate as she kept sliding the blade up and down my leg. She's a monster, plain and simple. I glanced into her eyes between my curtains of black space, and they mortified me. Both back when I was a young child, and now. They looked exactly the same as they did back then, the same eyes the same lustful stare.
With that, she pressed the sabre into me more, and I let out the most pained scream I have in all of my memory.
Once I was finished letting my vocal chords release, I was breathing heavily, I sounded like I was in hysterics. It made sense, I was losing my mind.
A second after I screamed, I felt the sabre slowly get removed from my body, and I felt the wet sensation on my leg increase, dampening my fur. Luna was practically panting over my body, and I was taking in heavy breaths. I immediately shut my eyes tight, not wanting to look at her. It would drive me over the edge, I was already dangerously close to losing it even more thanks to the pain.
I wished it just ended there.
Luna leaned closely over my body, rubbing against me. She brought her head right up to mine, and dragged her tongue up my cheek, causing my whole body to tremble more than it already was. She sickeningly giggled, and she was so close to me that I was able to feel each strand of her fur.
I wished she would just stop.
My panicked mind lost it, I wanted to pass out, but I couldn't. My body kept on fighting to stay conscious, even though all I wanted was to lose it, I didn't want to be here, I didn't want to be close to Luna, I wanted her to leave, I wanted all of this to be over. If I was forced to relive my past experiences like this…
I barely wanted to live.
I would rather die.
I just wanted her to kill me.
Hello Readers!
A quick update? Yay! I did a good thing! Be proud of me! Or don't, I don't mind. :p
I hope you're all doing well! And… and…. Um…. I don't really have any updates or anything, so I have no idea what to say! :D *Sweats a little*
Annnnyywhhooo, thank all of you who have sent in reviews, PMs, etc. I love all of them, and I love talking to anyone who just wants to talk! About the story or otherwise, I love the interaction! Thank you to my beta reader for making sure my chapters aren't as crappy as they could be! (8-BitUmbreon)
See You Next Chapter!
