☆ Nymph Melanie x Nymph Y/N ☆

Empath.

I was running away from nasty faeries that threatened to burn me purely cause they think I'm evil. I tried to reason with them, but every time I tried all they did was believe those lies even more.

My name is y/n, I'm a nymph. I have three eyes, one of them which goes in the middle of my forehead. I have grey skin, but inside I'm much more colourful. Wings, are something I have. They swing around in the air, feeling the breeze touching them softly as I walk. And most of all, my teeth are razor sharp, while my eyes are as purple as a Lavender flower.

Poeple think I'm evil, a devil, but I've always been innocent. Sometimes, I have heard angels.. And when I'm in a dangerous situation, my eyes flare up and go fully black, suddenly I feel my magic powers go through the sky as I feel more power reach over the limit. It's crazy, but I promise I'm an innocent nymph, I'd never kill any innocent being.

I'm walking alone in the forest, panting a little due to me running earlier. I feel as if there's something behind me, but I brush all this off.
Suddenly, I get a tap on my shoulder, and I quickly look behind me. I'm scared it might be one of the faeries who wanted to burn me.

Instead, a four-eyed pink skinned nymph stands before me. I sigh in relief, hoping she's not one of them who thinks I'm a devil or a work of evil. A second goes by before she speaks quietly..
"Hello, are you okay? You seem out of breath, dear."

I feel better. She looks and sounds so sweet, I hope this is how she really is all the time. I take a small deep breath before answering her.

"I'm okay. Wh-who are you?" I try to sound as sweet as I can as I ask this, knowing she seems like a nice and innocent being.
She smiles faintly before talking again.

"My name is Crybaby. Well, I found that out earlier."

I get slightly confused, furrowing my eyebrows a bit.

"What do you mean?"
She takes a deep breath before continuing.

"I found out my last life had the body of a girl called Crybaby. I think it sounds cute, it suits me."

I furrow my eyebrows a little more.

"Why would that suit you? Isn't Crybaby an insult to overly-sensitive faeries?"
She giggles quietly hearing me ask that, probably thinking I'm funny for thinking that way.

"Oh dear, being a crybaby is completely normal and understandable.. I'm sensitive, so I feel this comfort feeling when I think of her name, Crybaby."

I see small tears form in her four, big, beautiful eyes. I gasp lightly, and rush to wipe any tears that can escape those eyes of hers.
It seems like her last life is very connected to her.

She calms down after a few minutes, taking deep breaths.
"Are you alright?" I ask with worry, still watching to see if there's any more tears who dare to escape her gorgeous eyes. She looks up at me, smiling warmly now.
"I'm okay, dear." She sniffles and talks again, "Now, can I ask why you were running like that a few moments ago?"

I hesitate answering this, feeling scared to talk.

"I.. Well... I was running away from faeries."
She blinks a bit and looks confused.

"Why would you run from faeries? Aren't they your friends?"
I shake my head no slightly, and answer her,
"No, they think I'm.. evil."

She notices my teeth finally and her eyes go wider.

"Wow, those teeth you have, they're so cute!"
She points on it, almost touching my mouth.

I feel my cheeks getting a small bit warmer.
"You think so? I... Thanks..!!"

Then, she starts to focus on when I said faeries think I'm evil. She tilts her head sideways, still not getting why they would think I'm evil.

"Why would faeries think you're evil, actually?"
She asks with softness in her voice, I answer her with some softness in my voice as well to match the vibe she's putting off.

"My teeth, they're so sharp. It scares everything in those poor souls."

She takes my hand gently in hers, and look deeply in my eyes.

"Why would they be poor souls if you're running from them?"
I look at our hands that are locked together, and back at her.

"I don't know. They don't know what they're doing, they don't know what to do with me.."
She gently strokes my hair after hearing that, looking at me with complete worry.

"Did they do something, anything to you?"
"A lot."
"Tell me, please my dear."
"The most recent thing they've done is threatening me, telling me they're gonna burn me."

Her mouth stays open, looking at me with worry that goes over the roof. She takes a careful breath and talks.

"B-burn you? Why?!"
"They think I'm a devil!"
"You're not, I swear my dear.."
She brushes her fingers on my hand gently, trying to comfort me. I nod as I talk again.
"I know, but sometimes it makes me nervous. I have this weird thing that happens to me every time I'm in a dangerous situation."

She smiles gently as she talks.
"And what is this weird thing?"

I sigh and answer her.
"My eyes turn all black, and I loose control over myself at that point."
She giggles, and I get confused why she's giggling like that to me.

"Sorry, it's just funny. I have the same 'weird' thing! I swear it's nothing to be scared of, dear. It just means you are an Empath."

My mind started racing with thoughts, what is Empaths and why is she so happy about it? Faeries wanted to kill me the first time they saw me having an episode like that. You know, where my eyes are all black and suddenly I have mind-control. Well, technically I cannot control my mind longer at that point! Faeries has grown to literally hate me cause of the black eyes or sharp fucking teeth.

Instead of asking every racing thought I have, I choose the biggest one.

"What is an Empath?" I ask her.

"Empaths are a group of immortal souls who can defend themselves with powers. There's lots of powers we have, but you need to use them for defending yourself or at least don't hurt an innocent. I bet you don't even know about Lilith, right?"

My mouth hangs open a little, shocked from all this information.
"Immortal?! More powers?! Lilith?! What the hell is a Lilith?!?!"

She laughs at me, thinking it's funny how I'm questioning so much.

"Yes, we're immortal, kinda. If we die, our souls will find themselves in a new body, but that doesn't mean we're fully dead. And Lilith is our goddess, she's the one who controls the big sky to where we go to when we die."

I answer her,
"Really? That's just.. wow. I never knew any of that. How the hell do you know so much?"

"I saw my past life. A flashback, well, multiple flashbacks to be exact. I'll tell you more if you want, but let's go in my cottage.. it's more cozy there. Here, I'll lead you the way, dear."
She then takes my hand and starts walking with me to her cottage.

Somehow, she knew already I wanted to be in her cottage.

It's probably Empath powers.
