"What I need... what everyone needs is for me to die. The world... the world would be better if I was gone." Calev sat down next to Elan, the snow crunching beneath him. "Why?"

Edema Rue she/her Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 1 hour ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Lilyana gently removed herself from Eddie’s hug and wrapped her in her arms instead. "It's okay to be afraid, Lady. What is it exactly that you're afraid of right now?" Eddie squeezed her eyes shut. “I’m afraid that I’ll always be afraid. I’m afraid that all these people are hurting and it’s my fault. And I’m afraid to care about any of them. Even you.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue she/her Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Just now, The Wandering Wizard said: Lilyana blushed deeply, "and why are you afraid of my heart?" “Because it’s flighty and fickle,” Eddie snapped. “Because you claim to love me and then you turn around and blush every time Aster opens her mouth. Because I don’t want to be hurt and I don’t want to hurt you. Because you deserve so much better than this and because I can never give it to you because I am weak. Because the only place my path can possibly end is death, death, so much death, death for me and for anyone foolish enough to stay close to me, and I wouldn’t mind only it’s you, and I don’t want you to be hurt and I know, I know, exactly how this will end, and I can’t do anything about it and neither can you.” Eddie froze, suddenly realizing how loud she’d been yelling and exactly what she’d said. “I…” What did she say? Sorry? I didn’t mean it? Because she did mean it, mean all of it. “I shouldn’t have said that.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
