Kaerith ....
Past....
"Why would you attack your brother ?" She asks me during dinner , hours later , Mother of the year .
" of course you would think I attacked him " I smirk towards vaerith
" well what am I supposed to think ?"
" Oh I don't know .. maybe do what a normal Mother would do and inquire from both sides ? But don't worry I stopped expecting that from you a long time ago "
" This is not the time to pass blame " she hisses
" No Mother it's not , it's the time for truce , why don't you ask your favourite son why he is so upset! Hmm? "
" I never said I was upset kaerith "
" could have fooled me , like it's my fault you don't remember what happened in vharûn"
" Vharûn?" Mother asks in shock " you went to Vharûn?!!"
" Oh he did , and guess who came back with nothing..."
" I DID NOT COME BACK WITH NOTHING!" His fists connect with the table , voice reverberating through the halls
" Actions .. not words brother , your actions prove your emptiness , and you have the audacity to be pissed at me ? ME?!"
" of course I am ! You belittle me ! "
" I have only ever spoken the truth , and the truth I shall continue to speak brother, if vharûn rebuked you and you come home and throw a tantrum .. then it made the right choice " I stand up adjusting my coat " it's a shame truly , poor mothers heart has been broken by your greed and uselessness, now instead of throwing a pity party for your lack of leadership, why don't you pray to the devil and he forbids ! God because if it is not me , which is very unlikely ... then you just dug mother's grave . " I don't look back as I faze out of the realm ! .
Diana ....
Past ...
" She smiled at the park today dad " Ale rushes in to tell my uncle , I did smile to be honest , I smiled at him ... he seemed like he didn't appreciate a child smiling at him from the expression on his face .
My uncle comes to kneel in front of me " I'm glad you are finally coming back out of the shell princessa" I wouldn't say I'm coming out of it ... after being rejected by your own mother I guess it takes time for a girl to go back to being nor-well herself! For a girl to go back to being herself , there's nothing normal about me , not anymore .
Later that night ....
I peek through my window , staring out into the sky just wondering how mama is doing. She hates me now , I'm not good enough . My gaze falls down , his black cloak sweeps through the night, he passes each house like the angel of death, is that what he is ? An angel of death ? . He makes an abrupt stop and his eyes land directly on mine, void of emotions, just endless and dark.. is it my time ? I wouldn't mind , Mama doesn't want me, I don't even want me.
Kaerith....
Such a troubled child .. I watch as she climbs out her window down, normally it would be a demon climbing through a window .. but she looks like a cat climbing out , little kitten .
She walks over to where I'm standing.. and just stands with me for what seems like hours.
"Are you the angel of death ?" She asks finally with big black eyes , looking up at me , expectantly
"No"
" Are you the devil?"
" What an odd thing to ask "
" I need him " I cock a brow at her , it's not everyday you hear a child say they need the devil
" I need to ask him why he made me this way , no one wants me this way , I'm an abominablenation" she stretches her little hands forward, staring at them - I see it now , the powers coursing through her veins
" You are a what ?"
" You know ?... that -what's it called ?! The word when one isn't normal or accepted? "
" an abomination ?"
" Yes! That word "
" so you can say abominablenation! But you can't say abomination ?"
" well .. yh one is easier to say "
" *scoffs*"
" so what are you ? If you are not the angel of death or the devil , and what are you doing out here ?"
" I'm taking a break from home , had a fight with my brother "
" Why?"
" he changed , in a bad way , and now he's not the same "
" so you hate him now?"
" No but I'm pretty sure he hates me "
" And this makes you sad " she pats my hands , I drag them away from her paws
" I didn't say I'm sad "
" You didn't have to , it's in your eyes, you are used to being seen by him , and now that he hates you .. you no longer have his attention in that way , that makes you sad " I stare at her , processing her words
" You know ? For a girl who can't say abomination .. you are pretty smart "
" I know ."
" Let me make you a deal " This piques her interest the more and I imagine her cat like ears standing " The next time we meet , you will know what I am"
" What ?"
" Yes! What , and next time we meet , you will know what you are "
" You know what i am ?" She moves closer to me , I push her forehead backwards with my index finger
" a question for the next time we meet " I squat down to her eye level " but for now , I'm about to do something that is not fair "
" if you know its not fair then why do it to me ?"
" Because I wasn't made to be fair " I hold her eye contact steady, her pupils dilate as I compel her " You don't know what you are , and it stays that way , This conversation never happened, you will climb back up that window and fall into a deep sleep .. when you wake up you will feel lighter , the park did the trick , and maybe one day.. the Devil will have an answer for you " I watch her climb up the side ladders , till she's secured in her bed , with a flick of my wrist , her window falls shut .
