~ bitterness part 5 ~ scroll down to read ~ softcore "are we too young for this" ~ the neighbourhood (read creds) ~ When I met Nico, I fell in love. The idiot girl who asked too much questions and never let it alone. The idiot girl that fell for a homicidal man. I just have the most fantastic taste in people. Though I wouldn't blame myself, he was nothing like now back then, just a polite and charming prince. But I should've known he was a horrible person. He calls it "ethnic cleansing"? He's slowly killing what keeps him alive. We're the reason he's there. We're the reason he even exists, the reason Askanier is so advanced. And what do we get in return? Hate. Curses. War. The last few survivors being locked in "camps", forced to do work, starved, then killed. "Elves are horrible, worse than Fairies", Nico had laughed in my face. "But you're hardly an Elf at all, so I guess you're still almost okay." He gave me so much mixed signals, and I overthought everything he said. He tried to execute me himself. Stabbed me in the stomach, looked at me, and smiled thinly. Smiled. He smiled. Then what, he's probably celebrating my death. And the death of the other elves he's killed. How could he feel no pity, no remorse? How could he kill without guilt, even if he believes it's for making things better? Exactly like me... Hendrix. ~ "Cherry? You're alive?" Nico freezes at the sight of me. "Sorry I can't say the same about you later", I snarl, pushing him against the wall. "I'd recognize you at any age..." He raises his hands and looks at me calmly. "It's not my fault, this war. It's why you want to kill me, right?" "You hate elves, don't you? 'Ethnic Cleansing'? You really do have a death wish", I snort. "Perhaps, some of them, but not all. You were different." "Because what? How was I different?" I demand, pressing a knife against his neck. When he hesitates, I put more pressure against his neck. "Don't, you don't want to", he whispers, pale. "What I did wasn't my choice." "You smiled, when you..." My voice drifts off, and I look away painfully. "Fairies..." He looks at me and smiles bitterly. "You were always interested in Fairies." "Your point being?" "Cherry--" "I'm Cheryl, thank you." "Cheryl, I-- I'm sorry." His eyes flicker to meet mine. "Too late for that now, isn't it? Started a whole war." "Please, I'm sorry, it isn't my fault. It's my father's. He isn't killing elves, he's forcing them to enchant things... imprisoned..." "What? He's abusing their powers?" I say, only half-believing him. He nods. "For what?" "Foreseeing the future, bringing him wealth, the ability to control Fairies or particular people... that stuff. Look for Remus, he's one that can stop this. Remus Elrod. You're enchanted to forget." Nico shudders. "Remus, really? He's the one who sent me." I smile coyly. "To take you back, alive or dead." "We used to be friends, what happened to him?" ~ end of part 5 ~ to be continued ~ ~ credits / notes ~ Audio- Softcore by The Neighbourhood Hu Tao Icon- Doosio on Deviantart Code- Storyline/Writing- Image (the girl)- Pinterest Background edited using Pixlr E This whole thing was by .
