AN: Hi all! I just wanted to say thank you for the continued support, it means a lot!
Okay, let's get on with it!
~Fate~
A dream that was it… that was all it was.
Ai woke up, shaking and sweating, heart pounding like a birds wings in flight. But how could her heart beat? She is dead; her body is only an illusion of life.
Her hand lifts to her chest; hoping that by some miracle of fate, the beating may be real.
Tucking her trembling fingers back against her side, Ai pushes the disappointment away and out.
She cannot, will not allow herself to consider any other path, but the one in which she is consigned to travel.
There is no other option, but this. No other choice; besides domination, which is not a choice at all.
Ai's small frame trembles as she stands. She's only wearing a thin under-robe and the breeze chills her bones and brings to mind thoughts of… of…
Emptiness
Darkness
Despair
…Dreams
Suddenly, quick flashes of dreams mixed with memories invade Ai's empty mind. Numbness and pain collide inside her deadened heart.
The cut…
The blood that fell
Her mother… screaming for mercy
Watching as her father was stabbed…
Over
And
Over
And
Over
And
Over
…
And
Him…
…
Too much!
Ai's mind screams in panic, but before she has time to react a familiar sound catches her attention.
The climb of the computer
Quietly, slowly she turns to the request.
What Ai reads shocks her back into the here and now.
"Ai, dear is everything alright?" An elderly voice intones
She hesitates only a moment before finding the words in the sudden torrent that are Ai's thoughts.
"Yes. Grandma"
Ai returns her attention once more to the computer and the message that she should be answering.
私たちは永遠に過去から実行することはできません。
Her face is a hard mask as she quickly denies the request.
…Denies the words
AN: I know, confusing, but give it time. It will all make sense later on.
Maybe…
