Heart of Stone - (A World of Fragile Things) PART I
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Silently, I run down the decaying streets. I swiftly step
through broken glass, ash, and dirt with my bare feet. I follow
the sound of their laughter.
My tattered red dress rips again at the thigh as I crouch
down beneath the window of a half-demolished house. Sunlight
glints of the glossy surface of my eyepatch; my other eye,
emerald green and glittery with contempt, follows their every
movement. A mere fifty feet away is Kaelina, tossing her golden
hair, and Lysander...he is smiling at her like she is an angel
come down from heaven. If angels rip the eyes out of pregnant
mothers and dispose of them in rivers, as well as steal
husbands, I guess that would make Kaelina the most beloved angel
of all.
I hang my head down and stare at the ground to think, and
my hazelnut brown hair forms a curtain of secrecy around my
slender face. I've waited so long for this moment, planning
every last word, step, breath...and now that I'm here, it seems
almost too easy, as if maybe this should already be done. Still,
satisfaction will be sweet. I sit here, stewing in spite...and
then...I hear my name?
I snap my head up and tilt my head sideways, concentrating
all of my attention on what they are saying. They can't know I'm
here, no way. They all think I'm dead...I pick up a few words
from Kaelina's mouth.
"She was never like this, was she." Kaelina's voice drips
pleasant venom. Lysander looks away, unresponsive. When he does
not answer, Kaelina stops his footsteps with a hand on his
shoulder.
"Was she, Ly."
"...No." Lysander, still not smiling, shrugs off her hand
and walks away. Smugly, she follows.
I see now that I must kill them both. She has turned my
Lysander into a shell of his former self, weak, and dishonest.
All he has become...is a toy. A broken toy that I cannot be
bothered to repair. Looks like I'm tying up more loose ends than
I thought I had. I see him apologetically take her hand when she
catches up and I almost laugh, but that would be dangerous. I
bring all ten of my ruby ringed fingers up to my mouth to stifle
the laughter bubbling up in my throat. It's time for the chase.
Time to reap justice for my child. I sway slightly as I stand; I
didn't know my hatred ran so deep. I flash my hand across my
thigh in a liquid motion, extracting my silver dagger from my
thigh sheath. I'm ready Kae. Are you?

There will b more 2 it, that was all I had on it atm lol and
most of that was redone, the draft I had when I was typing this
was way more boring and blunt. I changed from 3rd to 1st person
and I rly spiced it up and added details. There will b more
within a few days, maybe less lol but meh, we both write good
