Tell us your sorrows

{X}

“I got dumped by the only woman I’ve ever loved.                 What else is there to tell?”

     “ mordrake? “

the name is repeated, but quickly she’ll answer his returned question.

     “ elizabeth. my name is elizabeth. “

but before he can say another word, the platinu- m blonde speaks again.

     “ what are you? “

the darkness and his ominous responses have  her transfixed, emerald oculars alight with intr- igue. beating around the bush isn’t something s- he wastes her time with, either, and such a thin- g is made obvious with how blatant her words a- re.

This  one  was  quick  to  notice  his difference, leading him to believe she, too, was something inhuman. 

     “I am one of them,” he said with a smooth gesture      to those in the camp around them. At the base of it      all, that’s all he was. Dead or alive, he was still no      more than a FREAK. 

How strange…that the idea of peace would distress him so, this idea that there was yet another unknown awaiting him. This existence was a constant cause of frustration, but he was learning it. Hw could not imagine what, if anything, there was for him to adjust to if he were to be “free”.

“Maybe then I don’t want peace…not entirely anyway,” he replied thoughtfully. “It’s not perfect here, but I feel strangely …like maybe staying here wouldn’t be so bad.”

As he looked expectantly at Mordrake, he felt a strange chill go down his spine, as if there had been a sudden draft. He shook his head sadly as he gave his companion a small frown.  “Maybe not peace, but you do look like you could use some rest.”

     The   vigor   with   which  he  had  spoken  lessened        as  it  laughed  at  his  desires  for peace. It existed        only  to  bring  Edward  suffering,  and  suffer he did.         Peace  was  a  far off dream, one which could never        be reached. He could ignore it at times, but it would        never           stay           away,          not          forever.

“You are a smart man,” he replied. “Men often wish for  peace,  though  once  it is given, they crave war.  It  is  better  to  wish for neither peace nor war, but a spot                  between                 the                 two.”
