Eric spoke, but I failed to hear hie faht hiolden eyes would dance as he fought me back then, and I would lose I lost every tiht yround Without a doubt, I knew Eric wouldn’t hurt els were so that I would never encounter I didn’t realize how deep I’d gotten Eric was kind then He helped me He knew me And I had no idea what I’d do to him I had no idea how much pain I would inflict on hih to hear what he was saying
My mind jumped out of the past The memories bleay like a feather in the wind When theht It seeer putI blocked I attacked Nothing was planned And as Eric’s voice drifted up to my ears, I found that I’d beaten hi Blood streaked his face dripping down his cheeks and into his hair as he lay beneath round He didn’t wince, or close his eyes Instead he kept speaking words I couldn’t hear Words that sputtered beneath a sea of static I watched his lipsmy arms over my head My back arched with my blade secure in both hands Poised to strike Ready to kill All I had to do was plunge my blades down and into his heart
Eric’s words cut through the haze of rage for a split second, and I heard him “… cannot defeat him on your own He’ll use you Ivy He’llyou’re not Fuck! Wake up! Listen to me!”
I paused, staring down at hi my arms tremble as I held them still over my head I wondered how I pinned hi Eric to the floor I was ready to strike and end his words forever, but so stopped me It was like someone paused me
His eyes were coolden, without a bit of red His voice was soft, neither pleading nor panicked “I remeo of the rage Let it go and come back to me”
In that second, iveness for what he’d done And the fact that I’d made him what he as even worse It was time to end this It was ti toto save hi more drained by the second A scream erupted from deep within me and ripped out ofstraight towards his heart As the silvery tip touched his flesh, I expected it to rip through him like a tissue
But it did not Whenin slightly and then stopped Eric’s eyes ide, but he said nothing Enraged, I threwwhat happened, I swung down a second ti hih the air doard toward Eric’s chest, I felt sorab me It felt like I was snatched fro, I was pelted with cold air Colors of light streaked past me so fast that all I could do was scream It felt like I’d fallen into a black hole The world rushed past less sounds They continued to blare by without pause Until it stopped Then, with an ungodly thud, I landed on a slick golden floor My comb clattered next to me with the blades retracted A black boot stepped towards me, as a hand reached down and pulled me up by my shirt
“Have you lost your rip trying to pull him off ofI hit the golden floor of the Lorren

My jaw hung open ascurling tongues of flame, that used to be lowed and danced like Medusa’s snakes swaying in a breeze that didn’t exist Black marks lea scales When I touched the black flesh, it felt cold and slick beneath ers
