An Apology Gone Wrong
TW: Sucidal thoughts. Child abandonment. Implied death. Depression.
He just wanted everything back to normal again. Thankfully that little messager dragon was still asleep in Star's pocket. He didn't even know if Ego got the letter or let alone wanted to come.
He sat in the meadow for a long while, messing with the flowers there...maybe he could bring some back to Star...he was interrupted by footsteps. He swiftly turns around and gets up, seeing Ego there in full armor.
"...I didn't expect-"
"For me to actually come? Yeah I figured."
They stood there for a while, pure silence. The wind blew softly as the birds chirped. Follower broke the silence.
"Look I-...I'm sorry...I just wante-"
"Dont make excuses. I don't forgive you."
The dove's feathers fluffed up in surprise. He was confused...usually Ego would take it as a joke...
"I-"
"That's it? I'm sorry? That's why you brought me out here? For a half ass apology?"
The otter crossed his arms. A huge frown formed on his face as his tail lashed around.
"I know Star is the reason your apologizing. You don't even mean it! Your doing this cause the only person who fucking cares about you told you too! You really like being told what to do huh?! Maybe thats why Star loves you! Because your a good boy right? You listen to anything he says!"
Follower looks down, he didn't know what to say due to his thoughts scattering.
"You know Sword, I tried making friends with you for so long! Only for me to get hate back! I tried so hard so maybe! Just maybe just could have a friend other than Egg! That I felt like I was worth something!"
"Heck! I wouldn't be surprised if you treated Star like shit when you first met him! You definitely did with me! I'm surprised Star even stayed with you this long! What is he going to do when he figures out the REAL reason you were abandoned by Venomshank?"
The dove froze...no no no..
"Yeah! I'm surprised people believed that little sob tale! Your not innocent Sword...you never were...Icedagger was your fault. No wonder your father left you for DEAD!"
Follower whipped out his sword and aimed it at Ego's neck.
"Don't you dare.."
"Hah..see? Everytime. Everytime someone disagrees or someone tries to reveal who you are you try to result to killing. What happeneds when Star finds out you killed me too? That's what you do best Sword, just like Icedagger."
"THAT WASN'T MY FAULT!"
"Where is the proof? Where is the proof bird? Cause all I see is a murderer."
Follower was panting like he just ran a mile, his heart pounded as his mind ran thousands of thoughts, scenarios and flashbacks. Windforce must have told him...there's no other way he could know...but...he couldn't, he never could bring himself to kill anyone who did nothing wrong...
The dove lowered his blade as he turned off his emotions, staring at the ground with no expression. Something he learned while with Illumina.
"That's what I thought. Enjoy your time with Star while you have it. He won't stay for long."
Ego turns away and starts walking back to Playground but he stops for a second.
"By the way, if I see you again...I'm not afraid to tell Star who you really are...I hope your happy to get a taste of your own medicine.."
With that the Captian left. As soon as Ego was gone it was like a switch flipped, causing all of the dove's emotions to flood in like a dam breaking and he collapsed. Sobbing in the flower covered meadow.....
Just let him dissappear....
