A/N: Sorry it's been a while. This chap picks up right after the last, when Karma falls to Ecl because of Mara. Please review!
Pressing myself into a corner,
Into a wall, the cool stone scraping my cheek
I'm crying,
this wasn't how it was supposed to be.
be strong, I whisper to myself
but it is too hard.
Falling to Ecl myself doesn't matter to me—
but sharing my pain with another
a princess,
I cannot do.
Where is Acelan when I need him?
I saw the way he looked at her.
And somewhere inside my hurting heart
I'm happy for him.
He needs her, she needs
him—I know.
The stone is wet with tears
and it's dark in here
so dark I don't want to dance anymore.
My wings feel heavy, almost broken
Sour taste in my mouth and I wish I could leave
without feeling bad.
Wiping the tears from my face
drawing my wings into me, so I'm
human
I sit up, leave the room
Thinking I'll talk to her when she's better.
I know why she's here, but she can't ever
Understand why Ecl has chosen us
Chosen me.
She is a princess, a mongrel.
And me--
I'm crazy.
