How To Kill The Girl You Love1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKRIomrKUu
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz39kvTthI
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemobDh4UpF
I'm seeing her live for the last time. This would be the last. The last time I'd ever allow myself to feel. 1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAvB4aLavq
"Trace," she whimpers. "Why?"1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UJg7HE8d0
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. 1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbqjG66HaU
I kiss her with all the passion that will ever be in me.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT73JM0UNn
I kiss her with all the love I had denied myself, and the love that I'll never feel.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5e6z4xv4u
I kiss her with the last emotions that I'll allow myself to have.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhWDQ0grCm
I kiss her.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qsnKNXdGY
And she slowly fades away. The strength in her body gives out. Her body falls back, as I let my grip loosen over her.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0iuP7jjBg
'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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiPI9cTlPm
I open my mouth to speak, but he shushes me. "You don't need to say anything, Trace," he sighs. "She's collateral damage."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rlM0M27fQ
She was collateral damage.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfpRrzba9A
Someone that got in my way.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXbIZrHSOB
Someone that shouldn't have, but she did.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Xd0uYYyH
Someone I wasn't supposed to feel for.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0tZOymxx5
She was collateral damage.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP31zmW7vK0
A collateral damage to my heart.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1lIhItCup
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MdwIri3nn
My hope pulls me north.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F6jmAmdwf
My beliefs to the west, and at times to the east.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC8gPX6VZg
And what I do, takes me to the deepest pit of the south.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUT1Po0mco
They're equally powerful, and I'm torn between these directions till it threatens to rip my body apart.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f1k3gHNZj
I sigh. At the least, a ripped body would ease the pain I feel near my chest.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPAlan4e5
"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."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVCLoewA0Q
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."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8bf8LKaVf
He scoffs. "Trace, anyone who can't soul-shift is collateral damage."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLahRLWlzT
I cringe. 1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UCgL7tbtp
"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."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X1OeJTStp
"Seb-"1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImAQSQbMMA
"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."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz99iWLLUJg
"I'm not a whiny loser," I retort.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBLmGTj1Vw
"And you say that with a whine," Seb counteracts. "Get over it, Trace. You're the Anchor, you lead us to victory."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIva1QBzpJ
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIeXI608Td
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. 1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInksMqmqrn
"Trace," Seb pleads, his eyes in sync with the tone of his voice, "we need you."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7GjmzfV9c
I hesitate. The sincerity in his eyes demands me to say yes. But-1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiuSrkLLWZ
No buts, I had put my feelings aside once before and worked for my people. I could do it again.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFdVCl8CfY
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnuIwyMZji
"Trace, please," he begs, "Your people need you, princess."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwB7Aw4XnI
And it was I, who killed her.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH1R5jcXtv
a/n: my idea of a supervillian is executed in a way more dramatic way than i expected. 1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTFQOCHCxH
