Solnishka - A Darklina Fanfic

Chapter 2

He looks up at the sky and I expect him to come undone. I single handedly destroyed everything he's been working towards for god knows how long.

Although instead I see a stray tear fall down his cheek and my breath hitches

" You did not kill me? Why?" He croaks

" Like calls to like." I say much softer than I intended

" You expect me to let go of what you just did? The fold was our only hope at keeping the Grisha safe." He says

" Yes, you will learn to let go Aleksander. Just as I have to learn to let go of all the pain you've caused me and countless others. You will let go because I am all you have, we are cursed with the eternity of restoring and keeping the balance to this world. The grisha will be protected because there is nothing stronger than you and I together. The world has seen it today and it will live on as so. You will never make a mistake such as creating the fold ever again." I breathe

" What makes you so sure, solnishka?" He asks weakly

" because I have the power to obliterate all darkness, just as you've witnessed.  I am tired of fighting you, Aleksander. I am so tired. So stop because I don't want to destroy your darkness for what is a world without both light and dark. Let us balance each other before we ruin everything in our wake." I say

" I already have." He whispers

I find the little strength left in my body to crawl over to him.

" Well I am not ruined, not anymore. You either come with me and we try this or you leave and I will spend the rest of my life making sure that your darkness never ceases." I say

" What you ask of me is too much." He says

" Is it? You once told me you didn't want to be alone. Now here I am, I have walked through the hell you created and I have proved myself equal. Rule over grisha with me, help me protect our people. That is all you wanted in the beginning, is it not? For Grisha to be safe. So if that's what you want then I offer it to you." I say

" And what of you?" He asks

" What of me?" I ask

" You did this for Grisha?" He asks

" No, I did this for me because although I am the very essence of the sun, your darkness lingers through me and it has since the day we met. Maybe I am selfish in saving you but if I can be selfish then you can be good. For even in darkness there is light." I say

He sits up and we both say nothing peering into each other's eyes. Everything made sense yet didn't at the same time. None of this was planned nor expected but it was destined. And for that reason, we both stood up in awe of everything and nothing all at once. There was nothing left to speak about for now because even he knew we were inevitable. We were both done fighting. It was time to come together, to restore balance back to the world and back to each other.
