Shit. Shit. Shit. She was catching on, and he wasn't sure he wanted her to yet. What would he do if she left him? 'Make her pelt into a coat.... wouldn't it look so lovely, just. like. mommy's. hehehehe.' He pressed his ears at the voice. She really needed to shut up. And he didn't mean Luce. She was going to leave him if he told her. But could he really keep her safe? He wasn't strong, and if Creature or Preacher came there was no way he could. "It's not easy Luce, or simple...." he averted his gaze from her. How was he supposed to tell her he was a monster? that he could hear and see things that she couldn't and that those things also lived in him. she had a point though. He couldn't keep hiding things forever, he knew she was bound to find out one way or another that his family was full of monsters. He sighed and looked up at the sunset. Where did he start? How did he tell her? His uncle had told him so many stories of their bloodline, should he start there? he gave a sigh again as he looked back at her, she was so hopeful and waiting for his story. well he might as well get it over with. "Do you remember how I told your dad about the lavender and poppy seeds?" Did he tell her he had used them sometimes too? That his aunt was sick and he had the same thing, yet so different. Another sigh left his lips and he let his forced smile drop. He looked older now he imagined, more serious and like shit. Bags were under his eyes he was sure, but he'd been hiding it. "My family isn't like yours... we call our sickness demons, but I didn't mention... didn't want to mention that those demons are more than just sickness to us. They live in us.... and sometimes they are us." was she understanding? he didn't know if he needed to go deeper into his family's lore. He lowered himself and laid before her, his eyes focusing past her, the shadows dancing behind in the distance only seemed to close in. He could feel his personal demon though, sitting over him yet in the same space as him with her lips close to his left ear. "These demons aren't something we can get rid of, though I tried.... I tried so hard Luce.... I hear them, and they dance in my vision. I don't have a mom anymore because of these demons, my cousins..... they're monsters.... I watched as one of them held me down..... I'm fated to become a monster Luce, I'm powerless to stop it. These demons that are my cousins, I have no doubt they will harm anything I'm close to to push me to my own demon's embrace... they'll eat you, and I won't be able to stop them." He pressed his ears back and looked at her for a second then looked down. Tears were pricking his eyes. He took in a ragged breath, fighting it off. She needed to know. "My mother wasn't pure demon though, she gave me every chance she could. I took her namesake to try to fight back, but my true Name isn't Agatsuma.... Its Asmodeus." he didn't know if she knew the name. he knew his uncle had told him the name carried a weight across the world but would she know? Walk, "talk", Think |
