♘ // @imitori , grave suggestion . ‘ i can’t believe i let myself let you down. ’
SHE SIGHS AS SHE LOOKS over the ruins of the place she once called home . five years . everyone had changed so much – they had gotten taller , older , wiser . different . &&. dimitri , well , he changed the most .
❝ it . i- ❞ she hardly ever has trouble for words . she knew dimitri like she knew herself . she knew him probably better than she knew anyone else . but this… wasn’t him . the desire for blood &&. death &&. murder was so unlike the boy she grew up with . what happened that made him this way ?
( what happened that made you so cold ? )
❝ you didn’t . ❞ she shakes her head , not knowing whether or not she was telling the truth . ❝ you… you could never let me down . ❞ she wasn’t happy with what dimitri had done or what he had become . still though , whenever she looked at him she could still see that person from five years ago . it was second nature to her – to picture his smile &&. words of praise after a hard fought battle .
HE HADN’T LET HER DOWN . not yet , at least . not until she knew for a fact that he’d never be able to bounce back . ingrid told herself that it wouldn’t happen . dimitri was strong . he could overcome anything that stood in his way . even himself . &&. if he couldn’t do it alone , then she would be there to help .
