The Crimson Blade

Slipped -Rayn-

Sup?

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

We were young and drinking in the park, there was no where else to go.

And you said you'd always have my back, but how were we to know?

Evain continued to watch me, though most nights he didn't allow me to walk around.

My voice was gone.

Gone.

I wasn't sure if Natasha could fix it, I had never heard of a cure for Kane. It was supposed to be incurable.

It was like my vocal cords were numb, I couldn't feel them. They wouldn't vibrate, I couldn't produce sound.

I was a mute.

I let it sink in, my mouth pressed in a thin line. I never talked much, but even still, it hurt knowing I could possibly never talk again.

You didn't tell Amelia

I ground my teeth together and hung my head. I was back in the usual bedroom, tied to the normal post. Windermere has left me alone over the course of three days, maybe he thought the Kane was enough.

My body wanted rest, but I almost wanted to feel pain. Anything that would cancel out my depression, or keep my mind off my twisted life I longed for.

You should have just killed her.

I can't, won't.

I felt humiliated, I was supposed to disappear forever, and one stupid girl brought my emotions back.

That these are the days that bind you together, Forever. And these little things define you forever, Forever.

I just wanted to be alone. I wanted to run into the dark forest and find a cave and hide inside. This is what I did when I felt something, I needed to be alone.

"Hey"

Evain's voice was quiet, as he crouched infont of me. I kept my gaze on the ground, I refused to look at him.

"I brought food, you need to eat"

I didn't move or show any sign that I heard him. I wasn't hungry, I wanted my voice back.

I was aware of his hands as he untied my mine, and they dropped to my sides, numb from not being used.

I flexed my fingers, trying to bring back some feeling in them. They were bloodied from my wrists and I tasted bile in my throat.

"Blood"

I shook my head at him, my eyes blank.

Don't call me that. Please don't call me that.

He understood, and nodded. "Rayn," He started again, his lips turned down. "You're losing to much blood, you have to eat."

I just turned away from him, acting like a broken animal. I didn't care what they thought anymore, they had torn down one of my walls. They were happy.

"You will die."

I still didn't reply, it's not like I cared anymore. I could die and it wouldn't matter. I could vanish and nobody would care.

"If you die, then who will rescue Amelia?"

Amelia.

Amelia.

Amelia.

Amelia alone.

Amelia afraid.
