6~*Different

[4 Days Until Coronation]

*

[NAME]—

I feel different.

I awake, not remembering half of the events that went on.. but everything felt like a dream — and I knew all too well that it wasn't. I retreat from her bed, stumbling as I try to walk straight. I notice that I'm still in Geisha's room, all the mirrors are broken, including the one that I looked at my reflection in. I look around as I think of Six and Ekki. They must be worried sick about me. Then again, what occurred was—

"You're nothing, you know that, right?"

Head thumps — again. I make a second attempt of walking as I continue to struggle walking, but well enough to continue. My stomach growls angrily as I ache in pain....I'm starving.

Tiny steps come towards me as I realize it's a gnome as it holds out a piece of sausage for me...but—

"I'm not hungry for that."

I have a sudden urge as I slap the meat out of the gnome's hands. And I take a huge chunk of the gnome into my mouth. It pleads for me to stop, as I ignore the protest and continue to ravish the raw meat, flesh, and blood. Once I'm satisfied, I wipe the blood from my mouth and I realize what I've done.

[I've]

[eaten]

[a]

[fucking]

[gnome]

I take a look at my bloody hands, showing proof— a black vein inside my flesh. Something isn't right until my mind understands completely—

["I am within you. Your near-death is inevitable, darling—"]

SIX—

Ekki and I make our way into the vents as we find our way to [name]. We see a gnome as it warns us about something, completely not understanding, we just nod as it runs away. I'm more worried about themthough. Those sorrowful screams from earlier just make me think something is wrong...maybe the gnome was warning me about those screams—

Damnit—

I grab Ekki's hand furiously as I run as fast as I can while tears threaten to come out.

Tears threaten...and they keep threatening.....I imagine those words....now knowing that she wouldn't be here right now......if it wasn't for me in her life. She would've ended her own—

They made so many jokes about how ugly they are and full of flaws, who isn't? But it feels like they're dying inside...I know it calls themselves a fucking potato, I laugh at that 'till this day, everything they did when made me fall in love with them more— I just wish they was selfish, just for once. To stop being so selfless to the point it hurt— I can't let them do that, not while I'm on this Earth.

'I promise I'll make it out with you.....or die trying..'

[NAME]—

"I promise I'll make it out with you....or die trying.."

Those words echo through my head....he's never said that before...am I reading his mind—?
