Attracting Monsters

Phantom had been distant for some reason, he was working more, and checking in on his various properties. Despite how busy he was, he was still always worried about you and made sure to check in daily, making sure to tell you to never leave his sight. It sounded almost threatening but you took it as concern, he knew as well as you did that some of the other egos were dangerous.

You brushed off his request, if you came into contact with the other egos you were sure you could handle yourself or call for help. Most of them were harmless. Which is how you ended up at the local carnival by yourself. Sure you could’ve asked Natemare to tag along but you felt safe, lost among the patrons of the carnival, just another face in the crowd.

The sights, smells and sounds of the carnival lifted your heart with childhood joy and memories of when you had gone as a child. Not knowing what to do first you decided to grab a funnel cake from a nearby stand. Once you had your funnel cake and found a nice quiet spot to sit in, you couldn’t shake the feeling like you were being watched. You didn’t think too much of it, enjoying your food and writing it off as just probably one of the many eyes and ears Phantom had all over the place.

You played a few games around the carnival, winning a small stuffed duck before seeing a ferris wheel. A wave of anxiety overcame you, but not from the ride you were making your way towards. The feeling of being watched came back so strong that you spun in a circle, not caring how stupid you looked before shaking it off again and carried on to the ferris wheel.

Entering the ferris wheel cart your excitement overtook the fear, it was going to be a beautiful view at the top. Suddenly you felt static along the left side of your body and were worried it was lightning until something manifested beside you.

“Mind if I join?” The entity asked, seeming to glitch in and out of reality.

“W-who are you?” You asked, freaked out at how this thing got in the car with you.

“A friend of Phantom’s don’t worry!” His smile had too many teeth, and you didn’t remember Phantom mentioning someone like this. You spotted a knife in his hand that made your anxiety spike and you felt like you were gonna vomit. "I've been looking for a new puppet and you seem like the perfect toy."

The glitch entity laughed at you, and you felt trapped, helpless until a familiar voice called out.

“What do you think you’re doing with my property?” Phantom sneered, his form manifesting next to you on your other side.

“Property? I don’t think he needs a chaperone. We were just about to have some fun, weren't we!” Anti turns to you, sharp teeth bared and smile even wider like he dared you to give a wrong response.

“He is mine, Anti. Find a puppet elsewhere.” Phantom held his cane out and placed it between you and the glitch. You almost sighed at the relief of Phantom appearing. Until he gently hit you with the ball end of his cane instead of Anti like you thought he was going to.

Suddenly, you weren't in the ferris wheel anymore. You were in a swanky looking room with red walls and black furniture, no doors or windows anywhere to be found.

“Why did you leave me? You're not allowed to leave, that glitch bitch could’ve done so much worse to you, I'm just trying to protect you.” Phantom spouted as soon as he appeared in a mist in front of you. He was pacing, an almost crazed look on his face. You opened your mouth to respond, but he took your face in his hands roughly, squishing you in a painful way. “Do not leave my sight again.”

You had never seen him this frantic, but then again, you had never really left his side for more than an hour ever since you met him.

“If loyalty isn’t enough to keep you here, then I suppose several locks should do the trick.” He sighed, and with a snap of his fingers, you were chained to the ground.

“Isn’t that so much better! Now no one can hurt you.” Phantom smiled in an unsettling way at you that made your heart race for all the wrong reasons.

"Phantom why are you doing this?" You cried, wrists already straining under the cuffs.

"Because I love you." Phantom smiled too wide again and ruffled your hair. "And I keep the things i love very close to me. I don't like when other people touch my things." He sighed.

"Why did you call me your property??"

"You are my property, sweet boy!" He chuckled. "And now you'll know it forever, and you'll never leave again." He took your face in his hands again, placing a kiss to your forehead before disappearing again.

Now You’re Never Ever Gonna Leave Again (Yandere Phantom Pt. 2)

@red-balloon12 @nwtbobsessedemo @colourfulmes @planetpossum

Title From: Count the Teeth by NateWantsToBattle

Fandom: Youtuber Egos

AU: Yandere Phantom

Content Warnings: Yandere behavior (Phantom), Phantom STILL acts extremely possessive, mention of blood, pain, manipulation, branding, claiming/ownership, not proofread

----------------------------------------

Your arm was still bleeding from when Phantom had carved his name into it a few minutes ago. It still hurt, and you were crying, tears running down your face.

“Phantom, it hurts,” You said, “W-Why did you do that?! You didn’t need to,”

He stared at you for a moment, and you knew that he was admiring the way his name carved onto your flesh looked. You also knew he was savoring the fact that you said his name like that.

“Of course it hurts, angel. You can take painkillers when we get home, and yes, I did need to do that,” He said, “I already explained why. No more questions about it.”

You weakly nodded, the tears dripping off your face and onto the ground now. You wiped your eyes, stopping your crying, although your arm did still sting from pain. Phantom smiled, and grabbed you, pulling you into his arms.

“Very good,” he said. Phantom snapped his fingers, and you blinked. Suddenly, you were no longer in the alleyway, but his house.

He immediately sat down on a couch with you still in his arms, running his fingers through your hair. You tried to get out of his grip, moving around.

“Phantom, stop, I don’t like this,” You said, squirming more. Phantom’s expression changed. His eyes lost all softness and caring they had, and his grip tightened even more.

Angel of Music (Yandere Phantom of the OperaxReader)

The stage lights dim but warm, the curtains open and the set packed away, the theatre was empty for the night. Or rather, it was almost empty. There was still you, after all, sweeping the stage with the pace of someone wandering about in their own head. As the newest stagehand employed by the theatre, you had been saddled with the duty of sweeping the stage and turning off the lights after all of the others had left. You had found that you didn’t mind the rather tedious job though. The theatre had been the great love of your life thus far and being able to work in such a grand and historic one was a wonderful opportunity. Only working there as a performer as opposed to a stagehand could make you happier, but you had been told so often that it would never happen for you that you had grown to believe it. But still, that only made you appreciate the moments when you had the stage to yourself all the more. You now only felt comfortable singing when you were alone.

“The ship, it swayed, heave ho, heave ho, On the dark and stormy blue.

And I held tight to the Captain's might As he pulled up his trews.”

Despite what you may have thought though, you were not alone that night, just as you had been from the first night you swept the stage. It was a widely held belief, from the stagehands to the actors to the director, that the theatre at which you now worked was haunted. The Phantom was infamous in those halls, the fear and awe he commanded so significant that you had learned of his presence from your very first day. At first you had thought that your new colleagues were simply attempting to scare you, to play a joke at the newest worker’s expense. But as the weeks passed and the joke continued without fail, you had to admit that the theatre’s belief in the Phantom, if nothing else, was very real. Yet you had not found reason for you to believe in such an otherworldly figure yourself. You had never been a very superstitious person, thus making it easy for you to dismiss what others saw as ghostly tricks as mere accidents. And so, when you swept the stage and dared to sing each night, you thought you did so without an audience.

“‘You haven't slept,’ heave ho, he said, ‘In many suns and moons.’ ‘Oh, I will sleep when we reach shore,’ ‘And pray we get there soon.’”

Little did you know though that you were only half right. There was no real spirit haunting the theatre, that much was true, but there was indeed a Phantom. He was a man to be sure, although many had doubted it from the moment he was born, though that did not make him any less of a force to be feared. And yet, when his burning eyes gazed at you glowing almost holily under the lights, when his weary ears and bruised heart heard you sing so sweetly, the Phantom could not help but hope that you would never fear him. No, after all that he had borne in his miserable life, the fear and rejection of such a heavenly being would be the one thing he refused to withstand.

“He said, ‘now hush love, here's your gown.’ ‘There's the bed, lantern's down.’ But I don't want to go to sleep; in all my dreams, I drown.

“The Captain howled ‘heave ho, heave ho’ And tied me up with sheets ‘A storm is brewing in the South’ ‘It's time to go to sleep.’”

In all of his travels, which had spanned to the very edges of the world, the Phantom had seen innumerable wonders, many of which he himself was responsible for. But from the moment he first saw you sweeping his stage, from the moment you first shared your voice with him, he knew that you were the most precious thing the world could ever have to offer. Neither the finest jewels nor the rarest flowers on earth could ever compare to you, so sweet and angelic. And your voice was as pure as you were, uncorrupted by the overwrought style that even the performers at that very theatre had fallen prey to.

“His berth, it rocks, heave ho, heave ho The ocean gnashed and moaned Like Jonah will be swallowed whole And spat back teeth and bones.

He said, ‘now hush love, here's your gown.’ ‘There's the bed, lantern's down.’ ‘But I don't want to go to sleep; in all my dreams, I drown.’"

No, your voice was emotion in its truest, purest form, and your voice allowed the Phantom to feel true emotion for the first time in years. Was it any surprise then, that he drank in the sight and sound of you so greedily? When you, for the first time in his lonely life, allowed him to feel human? Whether a ghost in fact or merely in rumor, it is a fact that ghosts are made to walk the earth alone. The Phantom was no exception to this fact, a fact that had dictated so much of his life. But in those moments when he heard you sing each blessed night, he no longer felt so alone.

“‘Captain! Captain! I will do your chores I will warm your cot at night And mop your cabin floors Scold me, hold me I'll be yours to keep The only thing I beg of you Don't make me go to sleep.’"

Such a beautiful treasure should not be forced to mingle with such vulgar refuse. This was a truth that the Phantom could feel etched in his thundering heart, a truth had demanded more and more of his attention each time he heard you sing. He had watched with hidden eyes how the rest of the world treated you, as though you were simply an insect to be stepped on, a tool to be used and then thrown away. It tore at his very heart and soul to see such things, to see you be treated as anything less than the angel that you were. It was clear that he was the only one who saw you as you truly were, the only one who would cherish you the way that you deserved. If the Phantom had you in his arms, he would treat you as nothing less than the sun and stars.

Oh, but how could one as sweet and lovely as you ever love a wretch like him? How could he force upon you the horrors that he summoned by his mere existence? The very thought of causing you the slightest unhappiness was unbearable to him, and yet, so was the thought of having to continue watching you from a distance. Oh, how could an angel be so cruel?

“The sky it flashed, heave ho, heave ho, His pillow toed to the brink. The curtains ran between my legs as we began to sink. I closed my eyes, heave ho, heave ho, As the ship was rent and fell. Eddies in the water headed to the mouth of Hell.”

But at that thought, the Phantom reached a revelation. He would not have to keep his distance any longer. No, the heavens would finally be his! For if you truly had the soul of an angel that he knew you to possess, you were then the sole person on this earth who could love a wretch such as him. You, with your infinite kindness and patience that he had witnessed every day, were his destined love. It seemed that God had finally repaid him for the countless hells the Phantom had been forced to endure. Everything he had gone through though would be rewarded a thousand times over once he had claimed you as his own. He would simply need to start slowly…

And so, from his unseen perch exactly above you, the Phantom let fall from his hand a rose with petals the color of blood.

“‘Hush now, hush love, here's your gown.’ ‘There's the bed, lantern's down.’ ‘I'm begging you please wake me up In all my dreams I....’”

Yandere! Phantom

Domestic animals would allow humans to do most anything to them if they trusted them enough. Things such as feed them, bathe them, even hold their life in their hands without worry. If one wanted, they could do so much as wrap their hands around an animal’s throat and if they loved them? There wouldn’t be a worry in the world.

Ultimately that was Phantom’s goal with you. You didn’t know how long he had been keeping you here. But he did. He knew exactly how many days, hours and minutes. He cherished every moment he got to spend with you and dreaded every moment away. But business was business. After all, if there were no souls to collect, how could he retain power and keep you safe from the dangers of the outside world?

“I’M NOT YOUR DAMN PET!”

...but you were so stubborn. Perhaps that was one of the things that attracted him to you in the first place. At first...there was nothing special about you at all. He didn’t understand why there was a pull. You soul was ordinary, perhaps you were beautiful by human standards but he was no expert on such matters, and talent wise there wasn’t anything that particularly stood out. You seemed to be making your way through life fine.

You didn’t need him.

You were so ordinary...life would push you down and by no means did you have a reason to get back up but you did. Time and time again, trial after trial the world threw at you and you overcame them again and again.

It took him weeks to go from gazing at you longingly from across his place at the bar to making idle conversation. But you seemed...content. You weren’t seeing anyone at the time...was he not good enough? He could tell you weren’t lying...was it his looks? His personality? He would change it all. No...that’s not the feeling he got from you. It wasn’t him. You actually rather liked him. Then why wouldn’t you act on those feelings?

No worries, he was a man that was here to help people who were unsure of themselves after all. For you, there would be no deal required.

Getting you to his penthouse and putting you to sleep to take to his room was the easy part. Making you compliant...that was taking some time. You were fighting him every step of the way. Screaming, and yelling about friends and family. But darling, don’t you know you don’t need them anymore when you have him?

He’s not heartless...well, maybe in a technically sense yes, but metaphorically he’s not. As soon as you obey him and agree to be his, spend the rest of your life with him, he’d let you see them again. Under certain restrictions.

But the human will...it’s fragile. It only lasts for so long, and shatters so easily. It gets in the way of things that are better for them. Like the love Phantom knows he can provide for you if you would just give up the act of not caring about him. He knows you do.

The human will is fragile...so in order to get to you he’s just going to have to break it.

When Do You Give Up?

Yandere!Phantom X reader

Prompts: Just let me go... and then we can talk, please, I'm scared + PLEASE, just don't kill me! I'll do anything

You barely knew this man and you were already a guest in his house, well not willingly so.

He hadn't gagged you at least, so you could try to reason with him, if he was capable of that that was, and right now you had no idea what this mad man was capable of.

"What do you want from me?" You finally spoke up, speaking in a quiet but clearly angry voice. You'd already offered him what little money he had but he didn't seem to care about that at all. Again, he waved away your idea, pacing up and down the concrete floor of what you presumed was a cellar of some kind, his expensive black shoes tapping constantly and starting to irritate you.

"Listen you sick fuck." You started, eyes red and stinging, mouth dry from whatever he'd drugged you with.

He squinted his eyes, shaking his head slightly as he spoke to the floor. "Please don't speak to me like that." He asked quietly.

This got you even more angry, wriggling around in your bolted down chair. "Hey fuck you, I can-"

He suddenly burst forward, you thought you'd scream but there was only silence. He grabbed your cheeks sharply between one hand and squeezed, your head forced to look directly at him. "That was your warning." He spoke lowly. "Please do not speak to me like that. I don't want to make this any harder on your first day"

'First day?!' You thought, panicked.

He sighed heavily, and you tried not to flinch as his breath crawled over you, not wanting to see just how scary he could become. There was a staring contest between the two of you for the longest time, until he finally took his hands off you, and leaned back.

After he'd taken a few breaths you decided you really needed some answers, but acting big and tough wasn't an option anymore. Finally you piped up "The... first day?" You gulped as he turned to look at you. You'd been paying close attention to what he looked like so you could be sure to lock this psycho in jail, but you noticed his eyes no longer looking brown but pure black.

"Yeah?" He answered, seeming on edge, his tattooed arms crossed with his red sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

You stuttered, budging awkwardly, feeling your thighs sticking with sweat to the chair. "Well.. How long are you planning on... On keeping me? Here, with you?"

He got another chair, turning it around and facing you, the back of the chair facing forward as his arms supporting his chin rested on the back. He answered slowly. "As soon as you know what's best for you." He tilted his head to the side, smiling so genuinely. "But don't worry doll face" he gave you a sly wink quickly, "I'll help you learn."

Suddenly it all became too much for you. You were completely losing control, having no idea what to do in this situation. "Oh god..." You felt like you were going to throw up. You didn't notice Phantom getting off his chair. "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" You screamed to the ceiling, knowing it was useless but it was all your brain could think of.

"Y/n please be quiet, stay calm for me, okay?" He tried, his palms extended as he approached you.

This made you freak out more, seeing those hands once again come for you, in this dark basement. You screamed once more, throwing your head back as you choked on loud sobs. "PLEASE, just don't kill me! I'll do anything!!!" You begged, snot running down your nose and eyes puffy from crying. What you weren't expecting was to feel your chains being undone, you didn't even realise what was going on until you were lifted off the chair, just listening to him at first.

"Ssh ssh, I would never do anything of the sort. It's okay, I promise you, and you can trust me." He sat on the chair himself now, resting you on his lap, cradling you against his chest nurturingly.

Your instincts couldn't shy away from that comfort. No matter how much all your, short, past with him had screamed he was dangerous and untrustworthy.

He took a handkerchief out of his waistcoat pocket, handing it to you, basically placing it in your hands when you were too distraught to notice his offer. He watched you blow your nose, not at all grossed out by it and honestly that wasn't high on your priority list either.

His hand was... so warm on your back. It felt amazing in contrast to this dark basement, your mind almost completely gone you leaned into the touch, finally settling, the only movement in the room his palm rubbing your back soothingly and the occasional rock of him with you bundled up in his arms. You didn't even realise yourself dozing off, too exhausted to handle any more your body just kind of decided to tag along with your mind and temporarily shut down for the night.

Phantom just stayed like that for hours. Even though he could have gotten in a much more comfortable position, all he could focus on was you, in his arms. Finally.

And you were so warm, so much warmer than he'd ever dreamed of as he held you. This was basically all he'd wanted since the moment he set eyes on you in his establishment. It was a hotel business, the first of its kind as he was test piloting, that he first got to know you. He kept hidden, watching your actions and remembering your daily routine. All he could think about from that moment was you. When in meetings, when masturbating, even in his dreams, you're all he ever thought about. You plagued his mind constantly, and it made his desire to have you grow and grow, and his misery and anger expand the longer he went without know- well he already knew you, from inside out, the longer he went without speaking to you as he'd put it.

Luckily being the hotels owner has its perks. He would easily climb into your room every night, well, the first night he was too nervous and could only get himself to stand outside your bedroom window, keeping watch, convincing himself he just needed to make sure that you were safe. But soon it had become a nightly routine for him to come into your room, sometimes sitting in the armchair, that you always found in a position facing you when you woke up, and just watching you and thinking for hours. Other times he'd sleep on the floor, with his back and head resting against the side of your bed, luckily he had enough instincts to wake before you ever did, it also meant he could nearly touch you, or touch you enough you wouldn't wake upset at him, when he needed you. But then he heard the news you were going back home. No, that was not happening.

Another perk of being manager is that he had a good status in his building. He knew you felt just like royalty as he allowed you access to all the highest quality things, getting everything you wanted free, touring you to the vip only access areas, and you had to admit his flirting was working, he even managed to get you to 'convince yourself' to stay a little longer to indulge in the luxury he was handing to you with a smile. But you had to leave soon, you missed your family.

That thought was the first thought that came into your mind when you woke up the next day and realised where you were. You weren't in the basement anymore but somewhere much brighter. You hadn't seen your family in weeks, would you ever see them again? You started to turn over only to be met with a playful grumble.

You froze, wishing silently he'd go back to sleep but you knew you'd woken him up when his hand started to rub your hip, soon reaching all the way over and holding you in a cage of his arms, dragging you until your back was on his chest, spooning you and purring happily. You tried as hard as you could to not focus on the feeling of him nuzzling into the nape of your neck, instead playing with your fingers, trying to see if your ankles were tied up, anything. You eventually broke when he grabbed your torso then legs, turning you to face him in bed. You couldn't even cry, too defeated.

Phantom however was the happiest he'd ever been, stroking your bed hair behind your ear, and you let him! He just shook his head, laughing in soft amazement, that his dream of being with you forever was starting to come true. "I see someone's behaving themselves a lot better today." He smiled, his bright teeth flashing at you before licking his lips and closing them off again. His thumb started to rub your forehead, and your eyes just shut closed. "Good girl/boy/pet."

You opened your eyes, staring at the red bedsheets before finally looking up to him, your fingers curling around the silver furry blanket covering you and you alone, for warmth you presumed. "Phantom?" You asked.

Phantoms eyes lit up at hearing your sweet voice sing his name. Shuffling so his body was completely touching yours, his head tilted to he side like a cute puppy's. "I can tell you've got a question, go on." He gently nudged your chin with the tip of his thumb. "You're behaving very well, and I want you to know everything about me you want." He nodded to you reassuringly. Even though you knew your question wouldn't reassure him.

"Just let me go... and then we can talk, please?"

He squinted his eyes, frowning immediately as his hand started to rub your hip harder, rougher. You looked up at him. "I'm scared."

Phantom just melted at your words. He knew he had to get over being so weak for you but he just couldn't help it. Forgetting about the first part, for now, he repositioned you as easily as a rag doll, oh you were getting so compliant now, and he rested your head in his lap.

You finally faced the massive room you were in, filled with all sorts of your favourite activities, a fridge, massive boarded up windows, you had a feeling this may just not be your bedroom.

"Oh Senpai." Yandere!Phantom rubbed the small of your back as you stared off catatonically. "There's no need to be scared." He assured you, humming to himself slightly as his fingers combed through your hair, in a way he knew would just feel absolutely amazing. You slumped, your body no longer tense, empty.

"I'm going to be here for you, forever now."

The Phantom’s Black Swan Ch.7

Ch.1 Ch.2 Ch.3 Ch.4 Ch.5 Ch.6 Ch.8

Rehearsals for Don Juan Triumphant were an agonizing affair, a display of just how much of a perfectionist the Phantom was with every single one of his demands and veiled threats. He was a constant, unseen presence, his voice, amplified by hidden acoustic tricks, a cold, critical note in the air. His commentary was brutal and precise, dissecting every flaw in a performer's timing, every missed emotional beat, with a chilling accuracy that left no room for error. The terror of his wrath was a far more effective tool than any director's encouragement, pushing the company to a frantic pace that left them exhausted and on edge. With each day becoming worse until the day before.

Delphine, was more prepared than most, yet even she felt the weight of his impossible expectations. Maybe it came from a premeditated mental preparedness and internal challenge that she had set for herself. But she could tell every person, including her, was starting to reach the end of their rope. She’d been given a small but challenging solo in the ballet sequence, and while the Phantom’s criticisms of her were thankfully absent—having come to the assumption that it was due to her previous confrontation. That didn’t stop her from noticing the feeling of a weight on her shoulders whenever she practiced, like someone or something was watching her.

But the one who bore the brunt of the Phantom’s obsessive control was Christine. She was a ghost of her former self, her initial radiant glow dimmed by a palpable fear. Every instruction from the Phantom, every disembodied whisper of her "Angel," pulled her taut, a string stretched to its breaking point. She obeyed his commands, face pale and lacking the life it seemed to shine with previously. Her voice a hollow echo of its former glory, her movements stiff and hesitant.

And the Phantom, in turn, grew more insistent, his whispered praise and guidance increasingly tinged with desperation, his patience wearing thin. His presence loomed over every rehearsal, his masked face an implacable, terrifying sentinel.

One evening, after an especially grueling rehearsal, Delphine found Christine huddled in a quiet corner of the stage, her face buried in her hands. She was trembling, a quiet sob escaping her lips. Delphine hesitated, then approached, a silent sympathy in her eyes.

"It's... it's a lot," Delphine said softly, her voice a calm anchor in the turbulent atmosphere.

Christine jumped, startled, then looked up at Delphine, her eyes welling with tears. "I just… I don’t know if I can do this anymore. He has such high expectations for me, and I want to meet them. I feel terrible every time I fall even a little short because…”

Delphine sat beside her, the cool wood of the stage floor a welcome grounding. "He's just a man, Christine. A very disturbed man, but a man nonetheless. He is no phantom and if he’s causing you this much distress, surely that makes him the farthest thing from an angel."

"You don't understand," Christine whispered, her voice barely audible. "Leaving isn’t an option, not when he’s not confined to just the opera house. He's... he's in my mind. He knows everything. He knows what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling. He knows about Raoul."

Delphine's brow furrowed in concern. "He's using your fear against you. That's his power. He wants you to believe he's omnipotent, but he's not." Delphine offered a quiet, genuine comfort, a silent support she didn’t feel often, if ever.

Christine looked at her, the tears bridging the corners of her eyes. "I know I'm being childish, I do. But I feel so trapped. Every moment, I'm afraid that I'll be the reason why he could end up hurting someone. That's why I'm singing like I am, and it's hurting me."

Unseen, the Phantom observed them from the shadows. His gaze, once fixed on Christine, now shifted between the two women. He saw Christine's terror, her reliance on Delphine's comforting words, and a cold rage began to build within him. He was losing his hold on his Angel, and this "black swan" was poisoning her mind with her defiance. He wanted to hate the girl. He had tried to. But the feeling that had been so easier to come for him for most others was escaping him each and every time he tried to grasp it. She had defied him, yes. But the spark in her eyes, the steadfast determination in her voice, refused to be quenched, a flame burning brighter with each passing day. All while Christine’s seemed to dim, day by day.

He didn’t hate Christine. He never could, but maybe the feeling had been festering for days without him even realizing. He was growing impatient and tired of her. She couldn’t give everything to him, and even when she did, it felt so…hollow. She wasn't the pure, angelic light he had envisioned, and her love, while he had believed it was, had been a lie.She was no angel.

She had no drive beyond what he had given her. No chances of success without him. And no love that hadn't been born out of a lie and manipulation. Christine wasn't the star he'd envisioned. She was a mere vessel, a tool. A vessel that was no longer serving its purpose.

Delphine had those things, and he was sure if he could just… convince her, she could be swayed. Yes, it all made sense.

Of course he couldn’t hate her. How could he, when she had shown all the characteristics of being able to see him as human?

No, he loved her. And he’d have her.
