Lost In Time

Chapter 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drastic measures

~~~~~~Kiara's POV~~~~~~

Revenge is such an unfulfilling feeling, what do you gain exactly. Well, watching the people you hate suffer brings such short term pleasure, and leaves an endless emptiness of nothingness. 

When does it become right to act on those intense emotions? How strong really is the emotion hate? Why do emotions have such a hold on you? 

We all act on what our inner souls desires not necessarily what your moral self wants. They say space makes the heart grow stronger, and it does. Doesn't always mean for love.

I held Riden with my powers just above the table as I climbed to reach his level. The room was a spinning blur; constant movement of hurried warriors, voices filled my head, people shouting my name? My eyes flicked round the room not focusing on anything, seeing brief coloured outlines of Thor maybe Father.

"You know I've spent every living day regretting having any sort of existence with you," I spoke quietly enough for Riden to hear.

I felt his heartbeat in my hands as I struggle to to keep him suspended and everyone else at bay. His eyes reflect my pearly white ones, his face strucken in fear. Walking closer knocking various dishes over on the table, suspending him over the edge of the table so I can be right in his face.

"Look, I-I'm sorry please let's talk about it you know I felt something for you too, I was young and stupid, p-please," I clenched my hand which is suspending him in the air tightening his air ways further.

"You sound like that 16 year old kid who lured me out here to fuck me and send me off as a peace offering to save your own skin," my hand feeling the walls in his throat getting tighter with my increasing anger.

"My people needed me, my family, you know you would do the same. You have sacrificed many lives to save your own and your families, and I will always protect the ones that I love," he puts on a brave face despite his detrimental situation.

I hear the distant sounds of peoples screams and cries, the strength of the people pushing against the distorted air barrier. My inner self fighting over what I should or should not be doing.

"Your right I would and I did, even when you and your family captured me and my brothers ready to send us off I let you go I chose to save your life because I cared for you and yet you repeatedly betrayed me," a single tear flowed down my face.

Ridens face slowly flickered in and out of consciousness, his face is a pulsating red while his hands pry at the invisible force around his neck.

"Everyone who plays the hero in their story is always the villain in anothers, you are my villain Riden and I am yours."

I dropped his lifeless body on the floor below.

Silence...

Everyone stared at me, the rushing blur stopped, I could see everyone clearly again. Emotions flooded the room I just stood and stared.

They all saw me for who I was; a villainess murderer.

"KIARA, what have you done you selfish spoilt shit," Arvid came running over holding his lifeless son in his shaken arms, "men kill her now!"
