Dying In The Darkness [ElesisxAdd]

>Time Control<

Add P.O.V
I am playing a dangerous game with myself. I know my sanity is not stable. It's been eating away at me for years. I know I shouldn't be telling her this story not like this, but if I tell her the truth she will fall into full darkness like i have. If I tell her the truth it will get what it wants. It brought her back to life using my hands, It sees her power and wants it.
I was starting to give in to it, I started to want to destroy everything, to kill, to end this world, but I saw Elesis, and now i don't want to give into it.
but i know.

i can't control it. When it comes it controls me.
It wants her to fall into darkness so she can destroy the world with it.
I have no idea how long i can stop it.
I'm scared
That's why my hands tremble as I hand Elesis a tissue.
I stand up and walk to the bedroom, to the closet I pull from it a red scarf with the Velder kingdom's crest embroidered into its burnt and fraying cloth.
I return to the table and wrap the scarf around Elesis shoulders.
"I found this that night, it's not much but it's something to remember them by..."
I need Elesis to trust me, this might be a small step in the right direction.
Elesis looks up at me tears still in her eyes, but she's smiling
"Thank you so much" she utters touching the scarf at her neck. "It means the world"

I start cleaning up from breakfast. Elesis is just sitting there examining her hands, lost in thought.
after a while she looks up to me
"Add, can you take me back to Feita, I need to kill the demons, that was my job, I need to avenge the fallen knights, it's what I need to do. I don't expect you to stay with me and fight, I'll be fine on my own. but I need you to show me the way back."
I swallow I was afraid this might happen, no, I knew this would happen. her insanity is hiding in the shadows of her eyes filled with a bloodlust and hatred. I know there's no way i'm talking her out of this.
"Very well, I'll take you back to Feita...but I'm not leaving you alone there."
"Thank you, when can we leave then?"
"As soon as you're ready"
"I need my combat gear and claymore, you have them right?"
"Indeed"
I lead her to my study. Nasod parts and materials strewn across the great desk, bookshelves line the north and east walls, graphs, calculations, papers full of space manipulation theories, schematics, blueprints for different Dynamos, formulas, and the time travel equation all cover the walls and creep even to the ceiling.
the papers that didn't make it to the walls are scattered across the floor.
I've placed Elesis's claymore on my table along with her clothes. I hand them both to her. she stares around my lab in awe.
"There's a bathroom over there" I point to the door at the opposite side of the room.
"Thanks" she says as she walks to the door, closing it quietly behind her. I pick up my set of Dynamos and power them up. they levitate for a few seconds then arrange themselves around me. I walk to my closet and pull my black combat bodysuit from the shelf.
"Dynamos" freeze time for 2 minutes then return to normal functions."
The Dynamos glow slightly with electricity as they carry out my command.
I feel the air around me grow still.

I undress, fold my clothes and put them aside.I slip on the bodysuit and pull the jet black jacket over. a few seconds later I sense the air start to move again. I lean against my desk, I laugh to myself a little, I can control time so well it's almost second nature. I think back to the first day I had stopped time. It felt like ages before I was able to get the right calculation and material to fix it. I hear the bathroom door open, I look up. Elesis is standing in the doorway her outfit is form fitting and she looks puzzled. "Is something the matter?" I ask from across the room
"My eyes, there amber now, it's... just strange...do you know why?" Elesis asks as she walks to stand next to me. she takes in my new outfit, my heart skips a beat praying she won't remember, she says nothing.
"no clue" I answer.
it's a lie, taking in that much Dark El is bound to change a person.
"but I like your amber eyes.. there unique" I say with a little smile. Her eyes sparkle with gold caramel at this comment. "So how are we reaching Feita? Will we need horses? " Elesis asks.
"Hehe that's cute, I didn't tell you but i have the ability to control time and space as you know it" I sweep her up in my arms so quickly she can't react.
"Dynamos; location coordinates: 37.7925, -80.519167.
"Time and space is distorted for a few seconds, opening a wormhole in space I stepping through it. The next second we're standing in the chill of early morning in a field of damp grass and hard cold stone of old and crushed walls.
There are stars still visible and not yet swallowed by the rays of the sunrise. I put Elesis down gently.

"I'm sorry I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable..." I say
"It's just the safest way to travel through space like that...." yeah that sounds believable. I think to myself."It's fine, I understand the situation.
" Elesis says looking around us."So this is Feita"
"We're in a place called Pilgrims Site, we need to be careful there are demons hiding everywhere" Elesis steps forward, claymore raised, eyes glowing with hate.
"Let them find us, i'll massacre them all. They shouldn't have messed with me..."
