How To Kill The Girl You Love1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds784g7zPH
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.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VNsFspd0P
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.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZQf1uDeNj
I'm seeing her live for the last time. This would be the last. The last time I'd ever allow myself to feel. 1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVdJ49Y32L
"Trace," she whimpers. "Why?"1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQTMB4nzUx
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. 1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpQskdEhXX
I kiss her with all the passion that will ever be in me.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZUvdSe6n
I kiss her with all the love I had denied myself, and the love that I'll never feel.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ev1KDxHWu
I kiss her with the last emotions that I'll allow myself to have.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd1NoLOWPz
I kiss her.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlatD2GLv4
And she slowly fades away. The strength in her body gives out. Her body falls back, as I let my grip loosen over her.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgTawMi4hT
'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.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2VGXOaAQb
I open my mouth to speak, but he shushes me. "You don't need to say anything, Trace," he sighs. "She's collateral damage."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD6JRnLe0B
She was collateral damage.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0mXv0BuTD
Someone that got in my way.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL8VOhJCRe
Someone that shouldn't have, but she did.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcEawc1hrv
Someone I wasn't supposed to feel for.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7J80tkYaS
She was collateral damage.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcANqwFkxQ
A collateral damage to my heart.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAMvjO8HS3
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.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP0cHsaNVU
My hope pulls me north.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS9SZ4ue1j
My beliefs to the west, and at times to the east.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2F9cUVn7m
And what I do, takes me to the deepest pit of the south.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEJPtLILPF
They're equally powerful, and I'm torn between these directions till it threatens to rip my body apart.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqv9RbKNKm
I sigh. At the least, a ripped body would ease the pain I feel near my chest.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDMPCtIPpa
"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."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbiFRwnc4z
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."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1pVcvrRbC
He scoffs. "Trace, anyone who can't soul-shift is collateral damage."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJIRRGvm1M
I cringe. 1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6DQJZPzL
"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."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISE0oS1IeE
"Seb-"1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWUif4MEuC
"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."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNcCF8RLXY
"I'm not a whiny loser," I retort.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGZmGOY8Y
"And you say that with a whine," Seb counteracts. "Get over it, Trace. You're the Anchor, you lead us to victory."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7X0BrHqld
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.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7VSr0a9ba
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. 1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmSH3G8D3q
"Trace," Seb pleads, his eyes in sync with the tone of his voice, "we need you."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSujOcyNWx
I hesitate. The sincerity in his eyes demands me to say yes. But-1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKn82DlN0q
No buts, I had put my feelings aside once before and worked for my people. I could do it again.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ay7OJGsw
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.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7pOdF2mZu
"Trace, please," he begs, "Your people need you, princess."1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhikGMap2M1
And it was I, who killed her.1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcYpsHI3Np
a/n: my idea of a supervillian is executed in a way more dramatic way than i expected. 1225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNdpswf7ol
