How To Kill The Girl You Love1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPak3dPpH51
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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKhRvFu3f5
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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73hq4Rufrz
I'm seeing her live for the last time. This would be the last. The last time I'd ever allow myself to feel. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaiRjOsVuL
"Trace," she whimpers. "Why?"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILMP11WZTL
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. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyA8tMQ7RV
I kiss her with all the passion that will ever be in me.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3u00QZeWJ
I kiss her with all the love I had denied myself, and the love that I'll never feel.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg4YGmzq8C
I kiss her with the last emotions that I'll allow myself to have.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNDc3v0TTQ
I kiss her.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyirKbxq4S
And she slowly fades away. The strength in her body gives out. Her body falls back, as I let my grip loosen over her.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCbpDTC6Gc
'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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O0z1wHypc
I open my mouth to speak, but he shushes me. "You don't need to say anything, Trace," he sighs. "She's collateral damage."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3fuPrY2O7
She was collateral damage.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicGIvL4T2k
Someone that got in my way.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvpen4V7rL
Someone that shouldn't have, but she did.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kK6mmdgV7
Someone I wasn't supposed to feel for.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0c2BOLtUK
She was collateral damage.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudj78Pim1v
A collateral damage to my heart.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W4p8zj9ZI
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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OXKOuun4i
My hope pulls me north.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OKojBjPTh
My beliefs to the west, and at times to the east.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNGdiE0gSP
And what I do, takes me to the deepest pit of the south.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXJZ05e6lW
They're equally powerful, and I'm torn between these directions till it threatens to rip my body apart.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TFxhk4bSC
I sigh. At the least, a ripped body would ease the pain I feel near my chest.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZWfdnv0F
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYHXc07aUS
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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLtyUC9UL
He scoffs. "Trace, anyone who can't soul-shift is collateral damage."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1b3rY9PcL
I cringe. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8KFM6dvox
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzAOq6FHPs
"Seb-"1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcwW6kEGIC
"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."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYzYcBy2rN
"I'm not a whiny loser," I retort.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBANXsmUkp1
"And you say that with a whine," Seb counteracts. "Get over it, Trace. You're the Anchor, you lead us to victory."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAGAwtkcP4
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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNVqBct0YL
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. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV2jQLo0hl
"Trace," Seb pleads, his eyes in sync with the tone of his voice, "we need you."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya5GC7OaaS
I hesitate. The sincerity in his eyes demands me to say yes. But-1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidsDMC7Vma
No buts, I had put my feelings aside once before and worked for my people. I could do it again.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GmiPheFqx
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.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyjCtC0e1v
"Trace, please," he begs, "Your people need you, princess."1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4AXsTdL50
And it was I, who killed her.1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQjLisYj8R
a/n: my idea of a supervillian is executed in a way more dramatic way than i expected. 1043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGT0MRBugR
