"I have no remorse"
(Age 19)
"What the hell happened to you?" Violet demanded as Daemerys stepped into the house. "I had to walk home after getting carriage-napped thank you very much." Daemerys looking towards Daemon. "He did not catch the lead." She stated as he smirked, lowering his head. "What lead?" Anthony asked putting his hands on his hip. "The lead where we offer him a way out in order not to start a war. As I said he did not catch the lead so, it's war. And war he shall get." Daemerys said looking at Eloise. "Do you want more answers?" She asked rhetorically. "I'm going to sleep." She said walking up the stairs. "What hell is she going to do?" Benedict asked. "A dragon dance so help me god she doesn't lose." Violet said putting a hand onto her head before putting the other one on her waist. "What's a dragon dance?" Daphne asked confused. "You're fighting with dragons essentially dancing, before trying to kill one another." Daemon said crossing his arms as the Bridgertons nodded.
Once Daemerys entered her room, closing the door behind her she sighed, heavily. Then she got changed into her night dress before flopping down on the bed before hearing a knock at the door. Eloise was in her night dress to by this point. "Join me?" Eloise asked holding up a box of cigarettes. "I'll be right there." Daemerys said getting her robe on.
Daemerys and Eloise both made it outside before sitting on a swing set at the side of the property. You could hear the owls chirping away. The breeze hitting their faces. They were both silent though. Eloise didn't know what to say about earlier, neither did Daemerys. Daemerys looked like she had been crying, or most likely tired. Her eyes were red and she had dark underbags
"Why'd you do it, Danny?" Eloise asked blowing out the smoke. "Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to." Daemerys said blowing out her own smoke. "I need to know." Eloise stated looking at the deer in the field. "For you. For me. For my family." Daemerys said taking a short shaking breath. "It wasn't something I did lightly." She said looking at Eloise. "I'm not proud how I got here, but I'm proud I got here." She said before turning her head towards Eloise. "I never said I was a good person." She said. "You're my sister. I need to believe you're a good person." Eloise stated as Daemerys sighed. "It would be nice, huh?" She asked. "If it was that simple, huh?" She added on. "You wanna know why I did it?" She asked. "I don't know that I ever felt like I had another option." Daemerys said breathing in the smoke. "You could always not murder." Eloise said turning towards her. "Not murdering is an option." Eloise added. "Do you even feel remorse?" She asked watching Daemerys jaw clench.
"There was no one protecting me, Eloise. No one. You have no idea how lucky you are to have me. I'd kill for you. I'd actually kill for you. Let that sink in. That's not nothing." Daemerys said with tears in her eyes. "I may be wrong, and I may be horrible, and I may be ugly and not worthy if anything. Fine, I'm not worthy of anything." She stated before looking into Eloise's eyes. "But you are. I took all the darkness, and I ate it. I became It, like fricking my father. Okay! So that you, my sister, can live a good life." She stated as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I kept myself safe. 'Cause that hand doesn't stop at the face. And I spent my whole childhood wishing my father would stop that hand." She said facing straight. "I've got a lot of demons. A lot of nightmares in my past." She said taking a deep breath.
"And I had a choice. I could live in the last, drown in it, feel it every day, be there. But you have to live for the future 'cause the past'll eat you. There's more to live than that hell." She said looking at Eloise. "You and your siblings, you're my future. You're what I live for. When I came here for the first, I saw a group of kids. They were so happy. They didn't have a care in the world. They worse nice clothes, and they were smiling, they were loved. You could tell these kids were loved, they were taken care of. They were my age, but they were loved and I wasn't." She said seeing Eloise from the corner of her eye. "I decided right then and there that when even though you were loved, you were never gonna be like me. You're we're gonna be like them. And I knew I would do anything, anything in my power to prevent you from becoming like me. And it took a long time, and it wasn't easy, but I did it. I helped made sure you were like them, so you can hate me, you can think I'm the worst sister in the entire world, and maybe I am, but I made sure you weren't like me, I did what I had to do, and I'd do it again. I have no remorse. Everything I do is for you and your family. You don't trust me? Trust that." Daemerys said as Eloise had tears falling down her face. "Come here." Daemerys said bringing her into a hug. "But you can't tell anyone. You know that, right? Promise me." Daemerys said holding her. "I promise." Elise said softly. "It's you and me against the world right?" She asked as Eloise nodded.
Trust is a tricky thing. Because trust goes both ways. We're in this together now.
