Pain, anger, and possibly denial.

All these emotions fill me up, they
run through my blood, travel through
my veins, and soak into my bones.

They bring me distress that I fight
hard to stay out of.
I tell myself this is a dream, this isn't
real, this is some ridiculous prank.

Laugh. My brain tells me to laugh.
To take it as a joke, this isn't serious.

I try to laugh but it's like I'm frozen.

"What?" I manage to say, weakly
forming the words with my lips
and letting them roll off my tongue

My throat feels closed and my chest
feels tight, I feel like the air is being
taken from me but is also suffocating
me.  I hope my gasping for air isn't
obvious. My father shrugs. he shrugs
as if nothing he said was memorable.

"I'm giving it to Dylan, he knows
how to work and he isn't busy playing
house. I'll admit I didn't train him as I trained you, which funny enough
is one of the reasons I'm choosing him."

My eyes start to burn and
my body starts to heat up.

I stand still. "What?" I ask again.

"Dylan went through similar training
and he didn't end up being as
damaged as you. He's stable, He doesn't complain when he gets orders,
and he's clever, strong, and dependable. You only have one of those qualities."

I'm too scared to ask which one.

"I can't let Hannah do it because
it's too dangerous." I laugh,
weakly, pathetically, and sarcastically
but nonetheless, it's a laugh.

"Don't be jealous Marceline, You have
a good husband and he has money,
you'll be fine. I think he's in love with
you, or with your body. Anyways when
you get married you'll have to
move to Russia; everyone understands."
