🥀~Bittersweet Tragedy~🥀

Chapter 7

*🩸Warning🩸*

Not having any other choice I closed my eyes and allowed the tears to run down my blood stained face as my lips trembled in place. Every inch of my broken body stopped fighting against Nyxie's magic, there was no use in fighting..no use when I have clearly lost. While taking a deep breath I kept my eyes closed, not wanting to meet her shimmering evil glare. Every emotion that I felt within minutes was immediately washed over with the emotion of shame, aside from the weird uncomfortable pent up energy in my chest that I still couldn't explain. But what did it matter, I have lost...again. And I will continue to lose over and over again..again..again...and again. It's been made clear that I was destined to lose. Nothing mattered anymore, the dance, the woods, my isolation, my unexisting love life, Derek...none of it. What was the point if this was my destiny, to fail and fall. Taking too long to respond Nyxie tightens her magic around me, causing me to wince at the obviously uncomfortable pressure and clearly a sign of her patience running thin. "ANSWER WHEN YOU ARE SPOKEN TOO BITCH!!!" she angrily yells as she tightens her magic method of torture inch by inch causing me to scream in agony. After what felt like an eternity she finally stops her torture session to allow me to answer. Not wanting to lose the opportunity I caught my breath for the 3,000th time today. Not being able to help it, a small giggle started to form and escape my now bloody mouth. Giggling turned into a chuckle and eventually into a loud psychotic laugh. As the strings in my head detach themselves from reality I open my eyes and right in front me all three of them stood there with wide eyes after hearing my laughter. If this is the end of the road for me, then let it be my time to let it all out. It's my turn to talk...

"Sorry I couldn't help it, I just find it funny really. All of this effort, torture and anger just for pathetic little ol me. I don't understand a lot of things, I don't think I have ever understood why all of this is happening to me. For years I've been wanting to live a normal life and my mom tried her hardest to make that into a reality for me and died in the process. I don't understand why you guys hate me so much, you guys have everything. To be honest I don't think I will ever understand and I'm okay with that. I can't help being the way that I am, trust me when I say I never wanted to be born this way; a monster. A monster that just wanted to have a little bit of fun, a night of normality. A night where I could just let go of my reality and live in a fantasy. To feel peace while chaos breaks loose within me and around me. That's why I came tonight, to have that moment. I just wanted to live like you guys– a normal life. I just wanted to live." I said, not breaking eye contact as the words coming out of my mouth register through their minds. Both Bella and Amber were too stunned to form any sound or movement. Almost like they couldn't decide whether to feel some type of sympathy or ferocity at what I said but unlike them Nyxie's blank expressions were not fazed as she swiftly lifted her hand up again and tightened her magic around my body. The screaming continued along with the internal pain, tasting the blood coming out of my nose and coughing more of it as her powers crushed through every muscle and organ in me.

My head pounding through the high pitch screeching planted in my mind as flashes of black and red splotches cover my sight. Then it torturously stops as Nyxie lets her grip on my body loosen again. I could hear my heartbeat loud and clear and feel it throughout my chest, neck, wrists and ears as I forced myself to look at Nyxie's evil aura growing around her. It was clear as day to me, a dark blue powerful mist-like thing surrounds her figure. This wasn't the first time I have seen it, throughout the semester I have caught glimpses of it every now and then. I figured it was just my imagination playing tricks on me but I have been sensing it all day today and now it presents itself to me again as I am one dainty string away from death. I couldn't help but feel captivated by her aura...so pretty. Then out of nowhere Nyxie's gaze on me widens in complete shock and disbelief as if she realized something immediately.
