Fate (~Alternate sequel) DISCONTINUED

"Even as a child you weren't this unstable Black Onyx."

Lilith?

"Let her go you idiots. Constructing her makes it worse. I would've thought you would've guessed that." She mumbled, then looking at me, then at Ralph and Coyote who surrounded me"WHAT DID I JUST SAY?"

I think at that time even my darkness didn't know what to do- my form not moving an inch, even when Lilith flew closer to me, I didn't flinch, nor fight, yet- my eyes stayed dark.
"You know how to calm down.. Don't be childish."
My form shook, mumbling out "why are you even here? I ruined everything for you."
She sighed "Black.. You're the only family I have left."
"And that's my fault- so you want to ruin my life I ge-"
SLAP
"JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
I fell to my knees, one of my eyes went back to its original colour- but the other remained black.
"If you're dead- granted I'll be empress again, but, no one would be heir, the crowds already dislike me now.." she paused "I know it was an accident you know? I just couldn't-"
"You were mourning.." My voice returned to normal, tears falling.
"Black you're physically the only person I have.. I just can't-"
"Lilith.. Please tell me this isn't a trick."
I watched as tears fell from her eyes-
"It wasn't your fault- I shouldn't of just let her come here whenever, I knew it was your world for when you got destructive- I placed all blame on you because it was easier."
I stood up slowly walking past Ebony, Ralph, Went and Coyote, to the tombstone, then looking back at Coyote.
"Coy.. Come here."
He gingerly walked over, looking at me "Yes?"
"Lift the tombstone up."
"Black wha-"
"Just do it."
As he used his manipulation, the tombstone arose and I knelt back down, seeing that it was still there. Her collar. Black, small spikes. I picked it up and nodded to Coyote, motioning for him to put the stone back.
I walked back to Lilith and gave her the collar
"I should've given this to you.. It was the only thing that remained after.."
"Thank you.."

Finally my other eye changed back to normal. Yet, I looked at those that tried to help me before, then looked at Lilith.
"How did you get me out of this? You never truly were able to-"
"Because now a weight has been lifted from your shoulders." She mumbled, tears staining her face, placing the collar around her own neck "Just know- I don't blame you as much anymore.."
And with that, she teleported away.
I fell yet again to my knees, what was my friends staring at me.
"I-" I began
"Don't. Just don't." Ralph mumbled
"I'm sorry." I spoke anyway "I didn't mean it- I know it's hard to believe."

Coyote sighed and walked over to me, throwing his arms around my shoulders "I can't really blame you for anything can I? I basically did the same to you. And I'm sure they aren't too mad.. I mean- if they weren't truly used to your antics, they wouldn't be in the underworld."
But, even with Coyotes explanation, I watched as Ralph took Wentworth's hand and walked away from me, not saying a word.
Ebony just stood there, unable to speak.
"Ebony come on..." Coyote mumbled "At least she didn't hurt any-"
"Of all people to calm you down.. It was the person I protected you against.." She sniffled "After all I did to try and help she just did it with a snap of her fingers? Huh?"
I stayed silent, but I looked up at her and nodded. Ebony laughed and brought a hand to her forehead, covering her eyes "I honestly can't believe you."
"Neither can I.." I whispered "Look- if you want to go back to Earth and take them with you I understand-"
She walked closer to me "You're an idiot. You know I can't do that."
"Fuck I forgot about that.."
"Now I'm joint empress you're stuck with me." She smiled slightly, to which I got confused at.
"Why are you smiling?" I asked
"I'm not mad."
"How are you not mad, what the fuck? I almost killed your brother! AGAIN."
"Because now I know what happened, and your outrage was because you bottled it all up. I mean- I am angry but I get it. Plus- I guess I hurt you a lot didn't I, making you explain and take me here."
I stayed quiet, looking down
"Black? You okay?" Coyote asked, looking at me and placing a hand on my shoulder
Of course I'm not okay.. I don't deserve someone who understands me like this..

I'm just a mess.
