And like it was nothing, Zoe disappeared again, gasping as the hand almost grazed her. Her tiny body began to tremble. Is this what being scared felt like? She’s never felt.. Fear before. Ever. She’s always had an easy-going and happy life. It was going to end soon if she wasn’t smart.
She tried to throw more magic at him, more potent than the last, to make him drowsy again. It was her fault for letting herself touch him. Anything could break the spell. Zoe still wanted him awake so she could reason with him, but.. he seemed to angry, and to heartbroken. All she saw in his eyes were pain. She didn’t like it at all..
“P..Please. Just listen to me. I promise. I know nothing of your past. I just, I just want you to be happy. I promise. “ So many promises. But would he believe her? More than likely, no. But.. She had to keep trying. She didn’t want to hurt him unless she absolutely needed to.
‘‘Gah! Curse you!’‘ he shouted. Immediately his eyes drifted around, trying to capture a glipse. Any glipse. She was too slippery. Before he knew it another bubble hit him. How he hated tricksters. ‘‘Damn you… Damn you to hell!’‘ he spat. Back to zero. Angry, so angry. To himself. No, it’s her fault. It’s all her fault.
Her speech was a muffle through this flesh’s mind. He heard only bits and pieces. ‘’Happy? Hah… Every second of my existance I suffer. Every moment this abomination of flesh breaths, I hurt. But it doesn’t matter. This is my happiest. Do you know why?’’ he stared at her, embers kicking his horned crown. ‘’Because, nothing is worse than the Cell, where you helped the humans lock me. For denying me death. For subjucating me into centuries upon centuries of neverending suffering – everything must die.’’
‘‘I will end everything. As many worlds as it takes until I get what I want! I.. am the nemesis of life. I will take away everything that you love, I will eat your dreams and suck the marrow from your hopes.’‘
Hearing this made her.. sad? Why? He wanted nothing to do with her, so why should she feel remorse for somebody so angry with her. His words still made her heart ache. Her fear slowly settled into a more melancholy emotion as she furrowed her brow.
“I-…” She started to talk, but was at a loss of words. He wouldn’t care what she had to say. But she was so persistent. She wanted him to understand.. To understand her sympathy for him and to not hate her so much.
“I’m so sorry that’s what you’ve had to go through, I truly am..” And, for the first time in her life, tears welled up in her discolored eyes as she stared at his angry face. His eyes burning with passion. It wasn’t how it should be. He shouldn’t hate her. She did nothing wrong. She wasn’t the one who asked to be chosen as an Aspect. She was just a little girl.
The tears finally began rolling down her cheeks and she looked down to her hands, then clenched her fists and looked back up to him
“You didn’t deserve it.”
He could not feel sadness. Not anymore. All that is left is nothing but rage and bitterness. ‘’Do not pity me, girl. You’re just another tool, used by the Aspects until they bore of you and throw you away.’’ said the Blade. ‘’You can weep all you like, pray as you wish. It doesn’t matter. I will have my vengeance.’’ Now that he had his energy back once again, Aatrox rose up and took the blade in his hand, ready to strike. ‘’Suffer as I suffer.’’
Her magic wasn’t strong enough. She felt so weak.. so.. little. Zoe couldn’t do anything. She couldn’t even force herself to try to use more magic. What was it going to do? It just wore off on him too fast. She felt defeated.
She watched him grab his blade and inhaled deeply before shouting, “AND YOU THINK BEING AN ASPECT ISN’T SUFFERING?”
Her words echoed in her head and she closed her eyes, clenching her jaw and trying not to lose her mind. Why won’t he just listen already?! The Aspect of Twilight opened her eyes once more, and she mustered up the energy to disappear again. She appeared behind him again. But she was weak.. and she fell to the ground. She couldn’t use any more magic. This was it for her.
