A Change Of Heart (Rayla x Moonshadow Elf!Fem!reader)

Killer

I ran inside the tower, not paying much attention to my surroundings. I had to get to the top of the tower, get Callum and get the fuck away from here as fast as possible.

As I went higher and higher up the stairs, I could hear the armor and swords crashing louder and louder.

I finally made it to the place where all of the action was happening, I stopped, and instantly started to look around for Callum.

I saw him on the other side of the corridor, he was a few feet away from me.

As I was about to go to him, I felt sharp pain, one of the guards have stabbed me in my side. Yeah, forgot I'm still an elf, and they will try to kill me.

I stumble a few steps back, and hit my back against the wall. I hold my hurting side and curse to my self silently. I look up and see the same dude coming at me again with his sword aiming for my stomach.

I quickly dodge it, but then I feel my legs giving up on me, and I almost fall, but I keep my ground. The guard smirks.

"Oh, I've got you now!"

I don't know why, but that angered me. I feel some strange power flow through me, I feel determent and very angry.  I strengthen my pose and take out my blades.

"This is for my home, motherfucker!" I yell and stab him right in the middle of his stomach.

I stared the man in the eyes as he held his stomach in pain. He stumbled a few feet back, he hit the wall, and slid down it till he was on the ground, and then he just stopped moving, that's the moment I realized that he is dead...I killed him.

I thought that on my first time killing someone I would be celebrating or something, but I feel different, I feel worse, this is not what I wanted at all.

I was looking at the man, then I looked at my bloody swords, I suddenly didn't feel any pain from when I got stabbed, I didn't feel anything, except.....regret?

"(Y/N)! We gotta go!" I snap out of my thoughts and turn to Callum, who was waiting for me. There were a lot of dead bodies around, and a lot of people were still fighting and we're still going to die.

I ran to Callum, he saw my bloody swords, he looked frightened. I sighed.

"Let's just go..." I said and waved for him to go in front of me, cuz I still had to protect this kid.

He turned and went down the stairs as fast as he could. I followed close behind.

When we got to the courtyard Callum ran to Ezran and Rayla. They were just casually sitting on the wagon, waiting for us.

"Callum, you're back!" Ezran yelled quietly.

I slowly walked to them and stopped a few feet away from the wagon. I looked at Rayla, and she looked at me with shock and worry filled face, and just then I noticed that my swords were still out. Fuck, I guess she saw the blood.

I looked away from her, sighed and put my swords away.

"Let's get a move on!" I said walking in the direction of the forest.

Everyone understood that there is no stopping now and started to follow me in the forest.

I suddenly felt the binding on one of my wrists loosen, I looked at it and it was turning blood red. I looked at the sky and knew what was going to happen next.

"The shadow hawk..." I said as a red bird flew over our heads. I looked at Rayla with worry and she was returning the same look in her eyes. I sighed and kept going.
