A message is sent, and I am told that I can destroy the city in two hours. I wait on the tower, observing the city bellow. I tell myself that this is the right thing. Serving Red Infinity is my destiny, and I do this for them. They created and raised me. Who am I to disobey them. They are my only family. Two hours passes quickly. I begin to prepare my attack. I feel a deep saddness as I power up my energy attack. The green orb of energy grows to enormous proportions. I have to do this...and now. I hold it in my hand, but can not release it.
+++++++
These are innocent people down there. People with lives and loves. I just can't do this. I just can't kill like I once did.
++++++++
Genovia would say I am weak. She could do this. She hates me. Why does she hate me? I love her with all of my heart. Why does she reject me? Why?
+++++
I think of Calithin. Smug...smirking Calithin. I want him to die. I want him to go away. That angel is ruining my life. Die. Go away. Just get out of my life. Get out of her life.
++++++
"Silent Anguish!"
I think of Calithin as I release the energy on Lucern. I wish it was him dieing and suffering. The city explodes in green light. There is a flash. Then a cloud. Then a vaccum. Then nothing.
+++++++
The city is gone. Everything is gone but small fragments of rubble.
+++++++++
I leave the city. I have done what they asked me to do.

Usha looks out the window. "Ooooh, look at that pretty green light." She is first hit by a wave of searing light and heat. It melts the skin right off her face and body. Then there is a vacuum..an implosion. That obliterates the villa, and pulls her innards right out of her abdomen.
She feels pain. She lays near death, her body a flimsy mound of burnt flesh and torn organs.
She closes her eyes. Before she does, she sends her soul to another plan via "Cross Worlding" that even if her body dies, she can find a new one.

As I lay sedated on a hospital bed, two cities burn. I don't know this yet. All I know it the feeling of cold metal tools in my body wretching out the life within. It hurts. They make an incision on the back of the head. Suck out the brains. Beat it like an egg, slurp out the messy remains, from the tomb in my body.
When it is over, I am allowed to rest in another room. They wheel me in, but I protest this.
I stand up...I hurt so bad I can barely walk.
Never the less, I have stayed too long.
"I have...I have to go back to Beijing."
I teleport myself to my own bed, and lay there in emotional and physical pain. I don't want to move...I can't move. Where is Lin-Sat? I start to cry, but even crying seems to hurt my body.

I hold his hand and try not to cry. I can't say anything...I just squeeze his hand.
"..I'm sorry...."

"You...you told me...you could not replace me. That no one could fill my job...so I had to..."
I can't tell him. He would not understand. He would be angry. But how could he know what it is like.
"I...I found out the other day...that I was pregnant...."
I bite my lip and let go of his hand. I stare blankly at the wall and away from him.

I touch his hand again. "I thought you would be mad at me....I thought..." I start to cry a little.
"I can not be replaced...and what would the people think? They adore me...I couldn't just leave them...to raise a child. This job is long hours...too long...I wouldn't have had time...I wouldn't have had time....."
I wrap my arms around him.
"I had an abortion...when I was in Moscow..."

Post by Jareth on Feb 8, 2004 23:00:55 GMT -5
*Jareth is standing amongst rubble from buildings the smell of burnt flesh and wood is everywhere. She walks from hubble to hubble looking for survivors there are none. The streets run red with blood and ash rains down on her head. She looks to the sky and sees Kaschei's face in the clouds laughing meniacally. She stumbles on the bodies of her mother and father, their lifeless eyes staring up. their heads twist up and ask her "what did you do?"*
She awakes screaming and soaking wet. It was all a dream. Well part of it was. Today Lucern was destroyed and it was her report that doomed it. How many died today because of her. She wondered if it mattered. Who escaped if any at the hostel? That didn't really matter either, she supposed. Even if they had they would know it was her by now, Riku would've exposed her. But she didn't need friends, not in her line of work.
She shouldn't care for her master but she did. Thats all she cared about lately was making him happy, and pleasing him with work or herself. So she got up out of bed changed into some black leather pants and a white button up shirt, turned her cd player on, and listened to nickelback sing "someday, somehow/i'm gonna make it right/ but not right now/ i know your wondering when". How true were those words today. She sat on the cot, brought her knees to her chest, and said a prayer to the god and goddess for the dead souls.

"I don't know...I just don't know."
I bury my teary face in his chest.
Then, I pull away and wipe my eyes.
"We do what we do when anything goes wrong. We pretend everything is okay. Just like when crops fail, there is famine, or the economic plan didn't work...we lie, we smile, and we keep on living. That's our only option....to just live on....and lie to ourselves....."
I try to look defiant, but I am too emotional too.
"I hate this...all of this. I hate Red Infinity."

i look at her. my feelings were getting worse. if you hate red infinity then why do you support it so much? you support it more then anyone else. . what she said is true, we do just lie. almost about everything we do. perhaps we keep it to ourselves, for now.. i thought about the detroyed cities, we would lie about that as well. but perhaps we should tell the truth this time..

"I'm just angry and hurt. I don't mean that...I don't. Let's just not think about this. We can think about it tomorrow..or for the rest of our lives....but not right now...."
I lay down, my body still hurts.....
"Just lay here with me...I just need you here....I"ll go back to work in the morning...and no one will ever know...."

i walk over to the other side and climb in i wrap my arms around her, healing her, my powers were strong now, since we are in the dark. i kiss her and lay down. im sorry, this is my fault. dont try to say differently. . ithink about the child. i didnt think killing it was a good idea, even though if it would have been born she would have found out about me not being human, but in a way i wanted her to
