fifteen.
LUNA
I was unconscious, I know that, I know the feeling all too well. A feeling I frequently experienced in my past. I'm unconscious but I can still feel my surroundings.
It's like I'm underwater. I couldn't move nor speak.
"Why isn't she waking up yet?" Felix's voice echoed. It sounded cold, an unusual tone in his voice that I had never heard him use. Another voice echoed, responding to Felix's question but it was muffled and inaudible.
"If she won't wake up for a week, you will pay with your life." What Felix said made me want to scoff. It looks like he's taken a whole new personality just because I'm unconscious for a few days.
Why is he so desperate to wake me up? He's going far as to take the doctor's life away just because I still was unconscious. I don't care about the doctor's life nor do I want to save him. I wish this deep slumber of mine will last for a week.
No, maybe it's even better for me to not wake up at all?
I'm tired.
Every day I'm only living solely on someone's order. I have no reason nor will to live at all. Well, there was that person my mother told me to find but I'm not entirely curious who the man she wants me to find even if he turns out to be my biological father.
What would change? What will I do after finding him? Will these nightmares stop when I find him? Will I finally become happy?
I already know the answer to my question. My life's too fucked up for me to be happy, I've killed hundreds of people and will forever be hunted by their souls as I slowly break and fall.
I guess I'm not that of a psychopath because I'm bothered by how many people I've killed so far, may it be innocent people or those people that didn't deserve to live. Whatever it may be, I've already long realized that someone like me can never become happy, never find peace.
The truth is, I'm vulnerable. I've always been vulnerable. I enjoy killing but also live with the nightmares I get from it. My past self openly showed the world how vulnerable I was, and I am still the same person as I was before, vulnerable. I just learned how to hide it from the world to survive, to live.
Why do I still continue to live? For what reason do I keep on living?
Now that I think about it, I've only held on to my life until now because of the person my mother told me to find. I didn't keep on living because I wanted to, but because to accomplish my mother's commands I need to be alive.
But I'm tired, so tired that I just want to throw away everything I have and be done with everything.
"Kiera..." Felix's voice appeared again. He sounded drunk. I knew he knows how to control his liquor but I guess he wanted to get wasted on purpose. I wonder why, "My mother... she told me she was going to remarry some douche she met while she was busy living her life while also abandoning her son" His hoarse voice made it obvious that he was drunk.
