I groaned as I opened my eyes to the bleak and gray atmosphere. A smile appeared upon my face as I sat up “I finally killed the girl I used to be.” I mumbled as I gathered clothes to get into the shower. I peeled off all the clothes that kept me warm before stepping into the hot shower. I sighed as I let the water drip all down my body, letting my hair cling to my face “No matter how many baths or showers I take, it could never wash away all the terrible things that I’ve done..” I looked over all the scars that adorned my body throughout the years. Some were new, some were old, some faded, and some were fresh and open wounds. “I hate this life of mine...this face, this name, this body. All of it.” My fist balled up as a small growl erupted from my throat. After about a few seconds I sighed and my body had relaxed. “...There’s nothing I can do about it aside from keep moving ahead.” As I stepped out the shower, I wrapped the soft towel around my body as steam clouded the small space. I wiped away the mist on the mirror to look myself in the face. I looked myself in the eyes, they were cold and empty. All purity lost, an undeserving child, I had to convince myself that I was still the same girl I was before the situation grew dark. But conviction had never worked the longer I stared, I came to terms that I didn't know who this girl was anymore. The soul that used to shine in this body no longer existed.

“So you came back after all. Have you thought about it some more..?” Priscilla asked lightly as she started getting her belongings together “Why do you think I’m here for?” “But darling Y/n, we can always stay home to catch up and recuperate.” She put her warm hand on my cheek for a second before removing it from my face. “I’ll ask again since you didn't get it the first time. Why do you think I’m here for? I didn't come here to listen to you begging for me to change my mind.” I narrowed my eyes at her as she held her bag close to her as she looked away from me. “Maybe your the one that’s actually scared to go back. Afterall, you're nothing more than a filthy traitor like me. You went against Kamui and the men and women of the Yakuza. No matter how you look at it, your codename gives you away. A snake is a snake no matter what. Right Python~?” My lips curled into a grin as Priscilla snapped her gaze to me with a look of fear in her eyes. “Y/n, what’s happened to you?” “Nothing. I just learned to stand up for myself and have a backbone for once.” The smile I had on my face melted as I sighed for a moment as I leaned against the wall and looked at the floor. “Now that I finally have the courage to open my mouth everyone thinks I’m the bad guy now.” I gripped the sleeve of my jacket as I gritted my teeth “I know what I’m doing..” With that I had stood up straight and started taking my leave as Priscilla had grabbed her duffle bag and made sure her purse was well adjusted as she followed.

Once we had left the hospital, I looked up at the skies to see nothing but gray. Snow was falling consistently as it started to pile up.

With each step a light crunch was heard, aside from the buzz of vehicles rolling down the street and people crowding the walkways or sidewalks. “I’m sorry I said that stuff to you..” I mumbled as I kept my eyes forward as she smiled softly and gently wrapped her fluffy scarf around me. A warm hug followed up afterwards but I eased out of it pushing her back a bit “Arms length.” “Of course. I also know how much stress you’ve been under lately so I have no reason to retort back at you. You’ll always be my little angel Y/n no matter what you say to me.” Priscilla smilled as she squeezed my reddened cheeks a bit as I tried to push her away. “Get off!” She chuckled then let go as I rubbed my cheeks a bit “Sometimes I swear.” I rolled my eyes as we approached an iron door down an alleyway. Priscilla chuckled as she seen multiple locks on the door “Let me show you something.” “Do what you need to.” I spoken in an annoyed tone as I crossed my arms and buried my face further into the scarf around my neck.

I gently closed my eyes to take a small breather. ‘No matter what course our story takes, I could never steal your heart as a phantom thief. But like so, one day you’ll heal and blossom once again.’ Those words had rang in my head for a moment. I opened my eyes to see a butterfly caught in a spiders web about to feast on it’s pure purple wings.

‘If those words are actually true and he promised not to steal anything of mine’s then I should be safe for now. A palace is created with those with distorted desires. If everything is going correctly I would be targeted sooner than later. With Akechi poking his face where it doesn't belong the Phantom Thieves would get the keywords easier and faster than the other palaces they’ve ravaged.’ I clicked my tongue in annoyance “Could this get any more irritating..?” “Ara, what is it that your mumbling about? I’m almost done sweetie.” She chimes a bit as a click was heard “Done!” She stood up wiping her hands in glory awaiting for the praise that never came from me as she frowned a bit. “You could always thank me you know.” She puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms “Shut up and stop being an attention whore.” “Ouchie! Ara, that stings a bit my little peach. I just wanted to hear a sweet little thank you from you for my work. But all I get is a little snap from you. It’s better than nothing I suppose.” She sighed lightly.

I opened the door to see multiple guns pointed our way “Ara...they heard us.” I stepped forward before being pulled back “Priscilla! What the he-” She put her arm in front of me for a moment before it draped back to her side. “I really thought this would have been a last resort. Ara, I would hate for this to happen.” She threw her duffle bag down for one of the Yakuza to call out that there was nothing in the bag. She gave a sweet smile as she held a detonator in her hand. “If you don’t meet little Y/n and all of her demands I’ll blow this place up.” “Pris...Priscilla..?”

I also realized that I was also more ahead than I thought I was when I opened the doc like a couple of days ago so hopefully I can get another update in!
