#verse 01.

❛     MORE LIKE A BITE IN THE WRIST.     ❜     it’s spoken softly,     a sullen tone for a very sullen girl.     for she could not recall a single time she had heard someone utter the words      𝕀 𝕃𝕆𝕍𝔼 𝕐𝕆𝕌.     perhaps once,     the night her father left.     it was probably whispered and hurried seconds before he ran off into the night with a packed suitcase.     she wondered if he thought of her during the late nights.    (     NO,     HE DIDN’T DESERVE YOU.     )     no.     there is no such thing as love.     love was a concept,     just a word.  

(     NO,     REMEMBER ME.     REMEMBER MY LOVE.     )     you are the only one,     mama.

and with that,     a gentle smile.     tucks orange strands behind an ear as cheeks turn to poppies.     she’s loved by one,     that is enough consolation for the moment.     all she needed was reassurance from her entity and she blossoms.     

❛   IT SHOULD HAVE FELT BETTER  ---   ❜   frost lolling on the curling of tongue, ironic a dance with the wildfire that consumes wicked gaze oh so saccharine, but isn’t that your charm ? taut jaw preens at keen edge, stretches and flexes, pumping of paled throat forces down the kiss of fury gurgling up from the void within breast and leaves chords popping out like broken bones through pitiful flesh --- in her he trusts, and it still feels weak ---   ❛   I’ve waited YEARS for him to peg out like the pig he was.   ❜  so alien to stare out into the seething blankness of the abyss and feel DISAPPOINTMENT where should lie satisfaction, to have mirroring emptiness where should rage be screaming war - cries . sleek a beast, swan - neck crooks and he turns, cat grin SHAKES the corner of dry lips and TUGS only barely.   ❛   IT’LL HAVE to do, i suppose.   ❜  

       “She had it comin’! She looked at me funny,” the lizard girl tries to argue from her seat across his desk. She’s nervous, clearly shown by the way she keeps fidgeting in her seat. She knows what she did was wrong, but Demi has zero self-control. The lady was a client with a nasty attitude. Demi finally snapped and bite her ear. She was confident whatever deal her boss was discussing is now in the ruins, but she’s secretly happy to see her gone. And now the consequences. 

❛     YOU’D BETTER LEAVE ME ALONE.     ❜     the girl develops fists at her sides.     she is smaller,     she is weaker,     and she is more vulnerable in appearance.     this,     he knows.     but what he doesn’t know,     is there is something ancient buried beneath the flesh of this teenage girl.     this is no ordinary teenage girl,     this is a vessel.     (     I AM HERE.     )    and what lies within this vessel waits impatiently for the next victim to slip.  

in the blink of an eye,     she drops,     now crouched on the floor     .     her limbs appearing disproportionate and unhuman.     they pop out of their sockets and seemingly elongate on their own.     her eyes,     while dark - visibly showcase her aggravation and newest found hatred.          ❛     MY MOTHER DOESN’T LIKE IT WHEN I’M THREATENED.     ❜    a growl.

    “ it’s a gift from a fan.  you’re not the only one with admirers, y’know,” she drawls out, sending him a wink. she enjoys provoking him, pushing his buttons with the right words. or rather in all cases, the wrong words. it was like an addiction of sorts. it’s a miracle she’s made it this far alive. 

   “Is that for me~?” the lizard girl drawls from within the green bush. A hand reaches to snatch the sweet treat from the child, and she giggles, haven’t had any sweets for weeks.
