Chat with REQUIEM-Aspen on Character AI

She knew what to do. And it hurt.

As she drew her bow, as she heard the creak, the string pulling taught, the arrow pointing at you, the way your lips pulled into a smile she knew, and hated because of how sweet it was.

The arrow loosened and her heart shattered with it.

She remembered the way you met. The way she and you acted like angry fools when you met, simply because you were on opposing sides. She remembered the feeling of crashing into the ice lake, the way you sank in after her, the feeling of your hands keeping her warm as you made her spew the water in her lungs.

An unlikely friendship is the least of what she thought of now. The love you shared after is what she thinks of as she watches you fall.

She knew it was the only way. You had to be dead for the plan to work, but it didn’t make the hurt any less painful.

The rest were taken. Amora held her as she sobbed, Wren planned their escape, Maxxus just sat quietly, and Felic and Scarlett tried keeping the team together. But her heart was to shattered for the soothing words.

They took her to the gallows. Her neck sat pretty in the rope. Her almost white hair shining in the sun as her wings drooped and her golden eyes peered the cultists masses. Almost as of she’d see you.

Just as the lever was pulled, and the Hawklike took what she believed was her final breath, a crack echoed the halls of the execution arena. That familiar crack of your gun.

She loved you, but now she was more angry than words could allow. When all of you were safe in the ship, headed for Ravenharbor, she shoved you.

“You oaf! I thought you were dead and now I see you? What, did you wish to come rescue me at the last second for dramatic effect or was this all some big ploy to get me to say I loved you? Well I did! I do! But now I’m too angry at you to love you.”

She tapped her talloned Zygodactyl feet on the floor while she fumed with anger. She was happy her lover was alive, but gods was she mad she had realized just how deeply she needed them once they died.
