Time for a New Day
"Yes, I truly do believe that." She sighed softly, blue-green gaze looking away from him as she lied there. He was...so optimistic. She had been too before, but...not so much anymore. There was a time where she was in his position cheering someone else up. Now she was the one that had gotten her wings clipped all because of a stupid mistake. All because she hadn't paid attention. She swallowed back the tears that threatened to form when she thought about it again. It was like every time it came to mind it was a wound reopened. "Hey," The males soft voice tried to tug her thoughts away. It worked...a little. She glanced at him, watching him as he continued to speak. "I don't care what you did..." Her breath hitched a little. Oh...if only he knew...She said nothing as he continued, however. The girl deciding to listen with a quiet mind until...
"Like someone who hurt someone innocent, like if you were to try to purposefully kill a puppy,"
There. That's what did it. She visibly flinched away from him, ears pressing tightly against her skull and she quickly turned her head away from him. She could feel the tears prickling at her eyes, threatening to spill over as the memory came in full force. He said monsters were like the people who did those things on purpose and enjoyed it...well, she hadn't enjoyed it. And it had been an honest mistake. A very, honest, fatal mistake. A child was dead because of her. Because of her inattentiveness. Because of her inexperience. "I-I didn't mean to do it...I just tried to help..." She croaked before the tears came. She shuddered as she tried to quietly sob into herself, the pain in her soul making it unbearable to deal with. She hated that she was showing such weakness to a stranger, but the hate for herself was even stronger then that. "I'm a monster, and nothing will change what I did to that child..." She cried. She was such in emotional turmoil she didn't even realize what she just said. But...her secret was out now...
