DARK ANGEL: THE VILLIAN HEROINE

Heroine Gets Serious

My wound burns, and the sweat and tears start to absorb into my skin. I can hardly breathe, and my body is shaking with pain. I feel as if I'm being split open and my body being ripped apart. Everything hurts, my spine twisting and arching in pain.

I don't know what time it is. All I see is red with dots of black in my vision.

All I can feel is pain and soft moans.

I gasp and reach over to my shoulder. I'm sinking my fingers into the bandages wrapped around it. I lay there now wide awake in the Princes bed. I looked down, seeing I was wearing an oversized shirt and shorts.

I blink a few times and rub my chest a bit, clearing my throat. I sigh and lay back down in the large bed. I look around the room and slowly roll onto my shoulder. I hold onto myself and shut my eyes. Letting out a shaky sob.

"...Hah...It's fine...it's fine. It's done. I'm so close to getting everything I deserve." I let out a happy laugh. Forcing out a few more cries.

"It's okay...it's okay. Look out for number one. No one has you but you." I rub my side and nuzzle into the bed. Calming myself down and letting a happy sigh out. The riches, power, and fame will all be worth it. I deserve it after all.

"Lady Celeste?"

I open my eyes.

"I'm sorry to bother you. And I'm sorry for what...No you knew from the start what she was capable of...we didn't know she would go that far though. "

Neither did I, but I managed to push her buttons enough to make her drop that lady facade. I'm sure attacking anyone would make them see red. I didn't know I had it in me either, but her cowardness almost ruined everything. Jackson could not have missed her with their vampric senses. So what, really
...

"Don't worry. You're never going to see her again."

I stay silent.

"Celeste...I'm truly sorry. "

"Did we lay together?"

"Ex- excuse me?"

I sit up and lazily turn my head to the prince. He seems shocked. I would even dare ask a question. I just want to get it over with. I've suffered enough, and I wasn't planning on getting blood on my hand or wounded. And yet, here we are.

Luckily, I'm quick to act.

I stare at him a few more seconds before speaking in a low whisper, "Did we have sex?"

"No! Lady Celestia, I could never! I- I I'm so sorry!" He starts to shake and quickly falls onto his knees. Crawling towards me with tears running down his face. He's weeping near my bedside. Completely vulnerable.

I place a hand on his head. Running my hands through his hair.

How pathetic.

"So... something did happen? I'm not surprised. After all, this bandage... you couldn't completely heal me with such a deep wound... but you tried."

"I've...dishonored you! I've picked your pedals and I- I...I'm a monster."

My lip quivers for a moment before I lift his head up to face me. I force a smile and kiss him.

"Celestia..."

"Marry me." I say.

"... Of course." He pulls me into another embrace. I stare at the wall across from the bed. My eyes are half lit as I'm pushed into the bed. I smile at him when he pulls away.

"You truly love me?"

I know the answer.

"Ahah. I didn't want it to go like this but...I've been wanting to marry you for quite some time."
