never forget

"what have i done for you to wrap a chain so tight around my neck that i may never escape your choking grasp? i am not fit for life on neverland and certainly, you can see that. have you not noticed how miserable the past six hours made me? or are you too stuck in your pride to see that?"

"if i didn't see you suitable for this harsh environment, you would have never set foot on neverland. you may not believe you belong on this island but you are a lost one at heart. only if you would stop acting like an afraid little girl, you will see who you truly are."

her voice felt raw from the shouting and dropped to a harsh whisper. "must you feel the need to belittle me until I am nothing? who caused you pain for you to act like such a monster?"

the smirk left his face and he tilted his chin higher. "see me as you please but know this: i am not the monster here, for the scariest monsters are the ones which lurk within our souls. and you, my darling, have the darkest monster of all."
