I glare at Nathan just as menacing (if not more) as he pins me to the ground.

My icy purple eyes suddenly light up with amusement. "I am Rose, dummy."

"No you're not! Bring her back!" He shouts, slapping me again.

Okay, I'm starting to get pissed. This isn't fun anymore.

"Get off or I'll slit your throat."

He staggers off of me, making me smirk. He's terrified of me. Everyone is. They'd be stupid not to be.

I fake a pouty face. "Why are you all looking at me like that? I eliminated the threat, so you're welcome."

Gwen stares at me. "You just ripped someone's head off..."

I grin. "I know right?"

I curtsy with my black cloak. My face glows from the remaining fire, which begins to flicker brighter as the sun sets.

"We've should've killed you a long time ago," she snarls. "You're a monster."

"Awh, that hurts. I thought we were friends."

A stream of shadow hooks around her leg and hangs her upside down. I bring her inches from my face. I make sure she knows how easy it is.

"I guess fans are hard to come by," I sigh. "Oh well. Someday everyone will see."

Apparently, Gwen wants to die. She's suddenly awfully brave for someone who's about to get their head sliced off.

"You're just like everyone else in the Fire Nation. A traitor, monster. A little orphan that's all power crazy and making her tragic past an excuse."

"I'm not Fire Nation, Gwen. You see, I'm not a part of a nation, or this world. I'm something that mortals can't even comprehend. You want to destroy something like me because you fear power. You fear me."

"Rose, please," Nathan holds my hand. He's in tears.

"Don't touch me," I snarl.

Gwen smirks. She knows what's going to happen. Her face is bright red from being upside down for so long.

I shake my head. I still have my back to him, not daring to look into those eyes. "This is me, Nathan. I'm not that mortal girl you fell in love with, okay? Stop trying to find something that isn't there."

"If she isn't there, why haven't you killed me?" He counters.

I snap towards him. "I'll fucking do it right now!"

He pulls me into an embrace. Suddenly, I'm the one who's scared. I practically melt into his arms.

This isn't supposed to happen...

Who the hell am I?

I hear a thud and realize that I released Gwen without willing my shadows to. I don't pull away from Nathan. I'm frozen.

I know Gwen is about to spear me with ice. I sense it. But I remain still.

"Do it. Please," I whisper. A few seconds ago I was a goddess, but somehow Nathan took all that away. I don't know what's right anymore. I don't know who I am or what I'm doing.

"I'm not giving up. I'll find you, Rose. Every single time. And I'll make you stay," Nathan whispers in my ear. His hand softly touches my neck, and I know there's a syringe in it. There's a sharp pinch before the world goes fuzzy.

But I'm not knocked out. The drugs were probably supposed to do that, but my body may need a higher dose than normal people. So I watch everything, unable to move and in a highly sedated state.

"Did we win?" I slur as Nathan scoops me up.
