"Good bye." I laughed, then I shot the Major and cut off the head of the man holding Jason. Jason opened his eyes in shock. I looked down on him, he looked pathetic.
"Clever aren't you?" Major laughed. I kicked him in the stomach and he fell on his back.
"You do know I could kill you." I looked at him. I didn't want to kill in front of Jason anymore, my worst side had been shown.
"I do, why don't you?" Major grunted, I have to admit he impressed me. He was weak now and on the ground yet he didn't let his pride fall. "You scared?" He taunted me. I bit my lip, normally I would just kill him but, I couldn't.
I shook my head, "I should kill you." I turned away from his bleeding body, "But I won't."
Jason was staring at me, "Circe."
"Jason, I must go." I let my blue hair blow in the soft breeze. It was time for me to leave here. I knew from the look he gave me that he did not want me to go.
I walked up to Jason and kissed him. I drew in his scent, his face, everything that I could remember. I knew that I would never see him again, and I wanted to keep one good memory stored in my head.
"I will kill you!" Major yelled. I pulled away from Jason and glared at him. "You stupid bitch!" More laughter, "You should die!" Major Swan tried to provoke me.
I turned to him, "Hush. Before I do kill you." I looked into his glassy eyes full of hatred. Sometimes thats all I see in human's eyes, yet they blame me for hating them and killing them? If there was one thing I learned its that humans will do anything to survive. Its pitiful, yet I know I would do anything to survive as well.
"Shut up! You deserve to die! A torturous death!"
"I know I do." I answered. It was true even though I think human's are pitiful and I believe some that I killed deserve to die, there was Alice and those coffee shop people. Innocent, yet I took their lives in my own rage. Major Swan gave me a shocked look, "I know that better than anyone." I admitted the terrible truth.
"Circe, please don't say that." Jason pleaded. I shook my head, I looked around the beach. These men could be like Thomas, a wife, kids, people who loved them. I took away their lives. I felt selfish, I only had one person who cared yet I thought I should live. Survival is all that matters though.
"Good that you know your a monster." Major laughed.
I closed my eyes and blocked out the world. Something inside of me triggered. I felt every death that I had caused hit me and rush into my memory.
Alice was getting beat up, I was crying, I was little. I remember the blood, I was scared. Then the coffee place, all those innocent people slaughtered. I remember the toddler curled in a corner crying for her dead mother that I had killed. Then darkness.
I was in another time, I was in the lab with Frankie, Rose, and Damien. Frankie was scared of me at first, then she said I was pretty. Then those awful tests, with knives, fire, guns, you name it.
Then those workers that first provoked me, I killed them quickly. They called me names, the one even was about to rape me. No one believed me. I cried being tied up, unable to see anything.
Then the workers who cut my legs, I killed them. Indescribable pain covered my body.
I was reliving all the times I have killed.
Then I was escaping for my life, after they killed Aphrodite. Then Frankie died. It was storming, Damien and Rose. Me controlling Damien to kill Rose himself. Then I was thrown into the ocean.
Then Jason appeared smiling, bringing me to his. Kindness was the best feeling ever.
Then killing Gianna, then those girls under the bleachers.
Natalia lived, it was homecoming I almost died because of Hina. Then I killed her.
Then I killed everyone even classmates who had adored me during that night.
I opened my eyes I was in the present and I realized some people should be alive right now. A group of men surrounded me in a circle, guns pointed at me.
I saw Major Swan stand up, still limping a little, "So you are going to die."
I opened my wings, everyone let out a collective gasp. "No I cannot." I didn't want to die. Death certainly wasn't on my list.
I flew high above everyone, I was over the ocean. I took a look over the beach men pointing their guns at me. Jason was watching me, he looked sad. I saw Major Swan fall, he must have died from blood loss. I was still for a minute.
Unsure of what to do next I just watched Jason, I wanted to leave but something stopped me. "Circe!" Jason yelled. I closed my eyes and waited.
I saw it in Jason's eyes. I saw it in those soldiers eyes. I saw it in everyone who I have killed's eyes. Some switched in me. Death was on my list. This had to end. I had to die.
Gunfire rang out all around me. I felt a bullet hit my knee. I felt it hit my stomach. I still stayed still when the bullets hit my wings.
"Circe!" Jason cried out. I felt sorrow pain me, I wish it could be different. That I could be normal.
I opened my eyes, a tear fell out. "Jason," I whispered, "I won't forget you."
Then I felt the inevitable bullet hit my forehead. I fell backwards to the sea.
Death never tasted so sweet.
