How To Kill The Girl You Love1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk24eUpkpsg
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.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxGdQbMMre
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.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ADF0GshL
I'm seeing her live for the last time. This would be the last. The last time I'd ever allow myself to feel. 1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhACY3Jgjj
"Trace," she whimpers. "Why?"1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqH78tbqIR
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. 1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXiTKo9Qf0
I kiss her with all the passion that will ever be in me.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi2BSO6C6g
I kiss her with all the love I had denied myself, and the love that I'll never feel.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTiI8teS6f
I kiss her with the last emotions that I'll allow myself to have.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBkRpR4jyy
I kiss her.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DZSct0H7R
And she slowly fades away. The strength in her body gives out. Her body falls back, as I let my grip loosen over her.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoT7MgkJNQ
'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.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuOflpKpK5
I open my mouth to speak, but he shushes me. "You don't need to say anything, Trace," he sighs. "She's collateral damage."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxwLjmxwlG
She was collateral damage.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlDzGChdMH
Someone that got in my way.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf3U5axkQN
Someone that shouldn't have, but she did.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOfIh7lyNl
Someone I wasn't supposed to feel for.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb28xV0oXuk
She was collateral damage.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcl4yxwBZa
A collateral damage to my heart.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePESw9y6Wr
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.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Q4pUDQYZ
My hope pulls me north.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0MWXg6UiE
My beliefs to the west, and at times to the east.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDnaOoZbgg
And what I do, takes me to the deepest pit of the south.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8xjmDq2F
They're equally powerful, and I'm torn between these directions till it threatens to rip my body apart.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51PIkNWjFS
I sigh. At the least, a ripped body would ease the pain I feel near my chest.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVh3OQ85Wz
"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."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUCn3n7fuq
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."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyToy7pFFm4
He scoffs. "Trace, anyone who can't soul-shift is collateral damage."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUB7K4dy1f
I cringe. 1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJyNo1KsNX
"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."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkWMaJK0dT
"Seb-"1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPSyuBVcZP
"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."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxa5fHspOI
"I'm not a whiny loser," I retort.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L0Cg8oCps
"And you say that with a whine," Seb counteracts. "Get over it, Trace. You're the Anchor, you lead us to victory."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjRUB1nahI
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.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOi4IGAt3h
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. 1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTFwcIMZDh
"Trace," Seb pleads, his eyes in sync with the tone of his voice, "we need you."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSF0JftWPL
I hesitate. The sincerity in his eyes demands me to say yes. But-1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnNpqSqwpV
No buts, I had put my feelings aside once before and worked for my people. I could do it again.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGHTOMyyQx
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.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7oGSUbsmh
"Trace, please," he begs, "Your people need you, princess."1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNq8vlMGqJ
And it was I, who killed her.1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyWArMuz9y
a/n: my idea of a supervillian is executed in a way more dramatic way than i expected. 1200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNC7CfMfxx
