章節 19: Little Pawn

Chapter 19

He reminescened wistfully. He looked so handsome as he opened his eyes and looked lovingly towards me. He looked so much like the man I loved. "Please Fran, you can't die like this. Let me help you."

"And how do you prefer me to die, Xed, In a coma from a mind rape?" I spat bitterly. Remembering how he took me from reality and planted me in a bobble of his chosen dream. I was like a toy tossed in a game of cat and mouse. A little pawn in his play of world destruction. I felt so small in the world he is living in right now.

"Please...I couldn't help myself." He looked frustrated. His brows were furrowed, with eyes looking uneasy. He was biting his lower lips, his mannerism when he felt uneasy.

"Couldn't help yourself!" I asked exasperated. "Fuck you asshole, you..." I couldn't finish what I wanted to say with all the confusion and frustration that I had. I felt so disgusted by what I let him do to me! I was nearly in tears, mostly because I wished what he did was true. In my heart I felt what we did was real. And with that I knew that if I choose him, I'll be betraying the people I swore to protect.

"I'm so sorry if I did what I did. " He paused and looked at me with his solemn, almost grieving eyes, "I was so careful with you. I swear!" he was running his hand through his hair with the frustration I could clearly see he's having. "I wanted you for so long. I couldn't help wanting you for myself." He was trying to convince me to believe him and I was stopping myself from being convinced. In my heart I wanted to believe him. I know deep within me he wasn't lying. "I don't know why I get to be so greedy when it comes to you." I missed him so much. I just wanted to hold him and be close to him. But looking into his eyes, the person in front of me was not the man I loved, not anymore. I kept reminding myself that. "Where is the necklace I gave you?" I immediately grasped the thing on my chest but found nothing.

Then I remembered, "I...I...I gave it to one of the kids." I stuttered guiltily. Why the hell am I stuttering as if losing the damn thing is a sin? "What is it to you anyway?!" I was irritated. "That belonged to the person who lived. You are not the Xed I knew."

He sighed annoyed, "It has my scent on it. " He muttered. What he said explained so much. Why those bats kept their distance from us. Why they would attack but would not cause so much harm. "God! I'll personally kill the one who did this to you. I should have just placed my scent on you, rather on that stupid necklace." His actions and words are from the boy I knew all my life, but that did not change the fact that we were enemies.

And I know he is trying to be my distraction. I know he wanted me to be glamored. But my little scheme has ended as I heard a plane go airborne near the coast, immediately I know my work is done. Without warning I shot another bullet scraping enough flesh from his left thigh. Thigh I'd loved so much and even more flawless than mine. That made him hiss but his flesh soon started healing itself.

"Do you have any idea why I gave that necklace to Gemma?" he shook his head no, "Because, I know I'm dying in this place, Xed. I wanted her to give it to my mother. I won't let myself be one of you, monsters." I rapidly pointed my gun on my temple, mouthed 'I'll die now' at him then fired.

The last thing I remembered was an ear-numbing booming sound before the cold enveloped me.

This is my death. A cold lonely lullaby which made me slumber in peace. Telling me that all is well. Saying constantly that he is making me safe.

He...

Wait....

HE?!
