How To Kill The Girl You Love1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpST5iY66l9
I try to pull out the knife from her abdomen as carefully as I can, but instead it twists and turns even by the slowest of movements. I watch her grimace, her panting, her fear, her gasp, and the look of betrayal that I'll carry with me for the rest of my existence. Her grasp on my shoulder slowly loosens, the look of deceit never leaving mine and her back limping backwards.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl05BqFVYl
I hold her waist, and debate whether to let myself have a small moment of weakness. A small moment of weakness for the rest of eternity. I look into her dying eyes, those beautiful green eyes that I couldn't stop staring at, those hypnotizing green eyes that captivated my very soul the moment I laid my eyes on her, those very green eyes now dying away. Breath by breath, she's losing life.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tFaFMuCEc
I'm seeing her live for the last time. This would be the last. The last time I'd ever allow myself to feel. 1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbBJVkNhX0
"Trace," she whimpers. "Why?"1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID45H2K5xG
I bring her face close to mine and I kiss her. The betrayal she felt doesn't come in the way as she kisses me back with her last burst of energy. 1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitnOkggOQT
I kiss her with all the passion that will ever be in me.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm2fYpZrJ4
I kiss her with all the love I had denied myself, and the love that I'll never feel.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j8z71rKcu
I kiss her with the last emotions that I'll allow myself to have.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjucnLkoi4w
I kiss her.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD6vxFniU5
And she slowly fades away. The strength in her body gives out. Her body falls back, as I let my grip loosen over her.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzkGp1K5aL
'We hurt the ones we love, Trace,' Seb whispers behind me, as he takes away my knife and wipes it off in a single swipe of the white cloth. There's blood there. My darling Julia's blood.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z6tNafwla
I open my mouth to speak, but he shushes me. "You don't need to say anything, Trace," he sighs. "She's collateral damage."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEBwQ2r4xo
She was collateral damage.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrSpMizgSN
Someone that got in my way.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZjCAGRTH5
Someone that shouldn't have, but she did.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7iQvfgTlL
Someone I wasn't supposed to feel for.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnfopAPM9w
She was collateral damage.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmwH0T3fe4
A collateral damage to my heart.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JApisqZHR
I think that what I choose to believe in, what I hope to be, and what I actually do are all three contrasting poles pulling me to three different directions.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiFe3ZaeLt
My hope pulls me north.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWT9cxYTdd
My beliefs to the west, and at times to the east.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5QEjWN4od
And what I do, takes me to the deepest pit of the south.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMNzTVI2t5
They're equally powerful, and I'm torn between these directions till it threatens to rip my body apart.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBHlY15E6j
I sigh. At the least, a ripped body would ease the pain I feel near my chest.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvylaK8N5OQ
"Don't be such a wuss, Trace," Seb clicks his finger in front of my eyes, grabbing whatever attention I have left. "It was just another kill."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYPKpsDNPC
Instinct tells me to grab him by his neck, and squeeze it until his face turned blue. Loyalty and common sense stops me from doing so. "She's not an 'it.' She has a name, Seb."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ6FugFxKo
He scoffs. "Trace, anyone who can't soul-shift is collateral damage."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9WtnY452I
I cringe. 1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTLeahEk2U
"Take your body for example," he continues, his tone teaching, "it's not yours. You killed the one who inhabited it, and hence, that soul was collateral damage."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk20H6Sjau
"Seb-"1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz4lcbMTqz
"You can't have any weaknesses as the Anchor," he sighs. "You're supposed to be the bad-ass supervillian who takes away life at whim. Not some whiny loser pining for a dead girl."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZXc0Qbd3J
"I'm not a whiny loser," I retort.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpKDDLoS6s
"And you say that with a whine," Seb counteracts. "Get over it, Trace. You're the Anchor, you lead us to victory."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsWYPBZkOc
I sigh. Being an Anchor, I should feel no remorse towards anyone. Especially the humans. They took away our freedom, they took our lives, they stole our homes. And yet, here I was mourning over the loss of one stupid female human I had accidentally given my heart to.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN0ydJUnVz
It was tough tormenting the humans already. It was tough burning them in stakes. It was tough to behead the innocent. It was tough to destroy their homes and unleash hell on earth. It was tough. I did not need grief stopping me back. 1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E0SWYzsAs
"Trace," Seb pleads, his eyes in sync with the tone of his voice, "we need you."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPQelRuOih
I hesitate. The sincerity in his eyes demands me to say yes. But-1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWxk0jdkpj
No buts, I had put my feelings aside once before and worked for my people. I could do it again.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4pC7kMKby
For the sake of my people, for the sake of our existence, for the sake of the soulshifter's honor and dignity and for the sake of revenge, I had to accept the fact that my dearest Julia was dead.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSRDjV2nfd
"Trace, please," he begs, "Your people need you, princess."1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW20cfceFD
And it was I, who killed her.1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrMkUKn9kO
a/n: my idea of a supervillian is executed in a way more dramatic way than i expected. 1222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ThZ1ds9Dg
