I was standing on the beach by the ocean looking out at the endless waves. I was asleep that much I was sure of yet I could not get myself to wake. I had felt I was moving and still could not wake. What the fuck were these stupid children playing at now. I had no doubt that I would soon find out. So I waited. The ocean was beautiful as always and calming to a point but I was getting bored with all this tranquility. I wanted to get the blood letting under way. There were alot of people to make pay for Coyrah’s pain. She would likely not approve of my methods but she wasn’t here anymore. Vengeance was left to me to get on her behalf. She was gone and I was what remained. I smiled joyfully at the thoughts of making those that had hurt such a sweet and caring girl pay with their lives and blood for all they had done. I was the blood thirsty type and I loved that. But stuck in here such as I was that was not going to happen. But how to get out? There was always a way out of these things you just had to find it. If I knew who had put me under that might hold the answer I needed to get out but as of yet I was the only one here. It was terribly boring. I was dressed in my finest battle leathers. Coyrah may have been okay with some revealing clothing but this outfit was all me. It was black leather head to toe. Even the soft three inch heeled knee high boots were black leather. The corset was my favorit well that and the trench caught that completed the badass look. I had tied my hair back up off my neck the better to make sure that no one could use it against me. I was so lost in my plans and dreams of bloodshed that I didn’t hear him come up behind me until he spoke.
“ It is beautiful here but this is a new look for you my dear.” He said.
Addison was not first on my list of people to make pay for Coyrah but he was on it. Seeming as how I couldn’t at present get to any of the rest he would have to be where I started.
“Coyrah is dead. So don’t think you can call me your anything. I am sure that you got the message just as everyone else did. Coyrah is no longer here. She wouldn’t want this to have happened so soon. But I am far more flexible about where I start on the list of those that hurt her. I had thought to make you wait for last. But as I am stuck here and have yet to figure out how to get out yet your first up. Sad day for you.” I said. I turned and looked at him. He was careful to not look too long into my eyes. I smiled and laughed.
“She did train you well didn’t she. You won’t look into my eyes but I don’t need you to.” I said then I pulled my sword and advanced on him. He didn’t move at all. Well this was not going to be any fun if he didn’t fight back at least a little bit. But it would be quick at least that would give Coyrah some peace of mind at least.
“I know you are in there Coyrah and this darkness is a part of you, as all darkness is a part of each of us. I know you can hear me. This is not what you want.” He said.
Fool thought that Coyrah was not dead just hiding behind me as she had so many times before. I was the one that protected her every time. She was a good girl and an even better woman. But this idiot thought she could fight her way back. But she was gone for good and there was no changing that.
“Idiot she is gone. There is no Coyrah left here anymore. The pain of so many betrails left her with nothing. You can talk yourself in to believing whatever you want but it doesn't change the fact that Coyrah is GONE and she isn’t coming back. You lot have killed her. I should thank you though. If not for you all fucking up so spectaturally I wouldn’t be free now. Or rather Coyrah wouldn’t be free now. She would still be a prisoner to all the pain that you fucks constantly subjected her to. She is now in a place where the pain you all wish on her cannot touch her anymore. She is beyond your reach now Princeling.” I said and swong my sword at him. He dogged the first attack like I knew he would but he wasn’t ready for the cut back move that followed and I drew first blood. That made me smile. But he didn’t look like he was shocked or anything. I saw him putting together the pieces in his head of something. I didn’t like that. I felt something sture in me at the site of his blood. It wasn’t the joy that I knew was mine it was sadness. Damn it Coyrah now was not the time to feel sorry for this piece of shit. He was one of the main sources of your pain. He doesn't deserve your pity.
“ She is no more gone than you ever will be. Coyrah you don’t have to do this. You can always choose to come back.” He said. This idiot was pissing me off. I attacked him again. He blocked the sword but missed the fist that I landed in his smug mouth. He turned his head and spit blood out on the sandy beach. But now at least he was fighting back. That was something. I felt Coyrah stire again. She wanted me to leave him be. He was nothing but that wasn’t true and I knew it. He was the King that wanted her life for a bunch of people that didn’t deserve to breath the fresh free air of the surface. He only wanted her death at his hand and mine now too. I wouldn’t let that happen.
“So tell me how are we trapped here? Who did this to us?” I asked. I might as well pump him for information while I took my time killing him. Even if Coyrah was sucking some of my fun out of it.
“I will not tell you that. You and I will stay here until Coyrah is returned to us. I will never accept that she is gone from us for good.” He said. Well shit he was good. I couldn’t pull off Coyrah well enough to fool him either. They had been dreaming of each other for months and he would see through any disposition I tried to pull on him using her. Not that I would do that to her. She had been through quite enough of that sort of bull shit. I was her darkness. I would not use her like all those that had hurt her. She deserved her peace that she could now have if only she would just take it.
“Well then we are fucked aren’t we. I told you Coyrah is gone. You only want her so she can save your stupid people that have nothing to give her or me in return. You are not worth saving. You never were. Coyrah has been hurt and used enough by all of you. Why do you think she finally stopped fighting to hold on to life at all? She has only pain from every last one of you fucks. She now has peace and she can find some happiness in the lack of pain there. She isn’t going to come back even if she could. Why would she? What have you to offer her or me? Nothing that either of us could want.” I said and attacked again. I scored three hits on him this time and each one made him bleed.
Yet I noted that he wasn’t growing any weaker. He was completely healthy aside from the fact that he was bleeding heavily. He should have been weakening.
“Unless he is being protected. But only Fate that Cunt could pull something like this off. She would too. Gods I hate them all. You can try all you like but if he is being protected then there is no way to kill him in here. This has Artemis’s signature all over it. It’s a cured sleep. We can’t wake until something is done or some goal is achieved.” Coyrah said to me. Damned too if I couldn’t see she was right. Fucking Gods indeed couldn’t they leave us well enough alone.
“I want nothing from either of you. I love you. Both of you and I will stay here as long as it takes to make you see that Coyrah. I am not going anywhere. I am here for you. No one else, just you. I will not live my life without you now that I have finally found you. You are not gone just a bit lost and I will help you find your way back to yourself. My people have nothing to do with why I am here.” He said. I felt something in Coyrah stire at this.
“I don’t think so. No one does anything for me or Coyrah. She has been burned before. I will not let you hurt her anymore. Fate must be protecting you in here. Artemis had a hand in how we got into this shit hole of that I am sure and I can see it all just as she could. Why can you fucks not realize that all you do is hurt her more? What is that you think you can do for her? She is at peace, yet you want to take that from her. Why? Because you are selfish and you don’t care about her. Only yourself, just like all the other fucking Gods. No one but me cares about Coyrah. I have seen to it that now she will NEVER again feel that pain of your constraint betrails and broken promises. I have protected her from everything. What have you done but cause her more pain?” I said. I could feel Coyrah taking in what I was saying and knew that she felt the truth of every word I spoke. I had been the one to protect her and no one else. Those that Fate had said would care for and love her had done nothing but bring even more pain than any enemy that had ever crossed us. She waited; she wanted to know what his answer to this would be. I could see it though. I had struck him where it really counted.
“You claim to love her and me but that cannot be. You have brought with you nothing but more pain for her. Coyrah was a gentle soul. She loved freely and fully. But there is only so much pain and betrayal one such as she could take before someone like me is born in their stead and there is no going back. You cannot love someone and bring them nothing but pain and expect them not to just die from the neglect.” I said. I was rubbing salt into an open wound. I could see it and it was great. He should feel some of the pain he had subjected her to with his so-called love. “You say you loved her but all I ever heard was what you wanted from her. Just like everyone else you never once stopped to ask her what it was she wanted for herself. It was always about what she could do for you. Always about you. I can’t feel love, but I know from Coyrah that to love someone is to put them ahead of everything and everyone, especially yourself. What they want is most important. Not what you want. What you can give them is never about titles and responsibility. It is an open heart and a home. We have never had one of those you know? Of course you don’t because you don’t care about us. Take your so called love and shove it up your selfish ass. I don’t have any use for it or you and Coyrah is gone so you’re just fucked there.” I added. I saw it then, the defeat in his eyes. I had won. He had nothing to give Coyrah. I gave her peace with no conditions. I protected her without demanding that she do jackshit to get it. He could not say the same. I punched him a few more times while he was down. Coyrah didn’t even try to stop me. She was tired and all she wanted was rest and to be left alone in her peace. If he couldn’t even answer me here in a place where I couldn’t kill him no matter how hard I tried then what was the point in trying to stop it. I really had won.
I had him down on his knees and was just palming him when I was shot back. What the fuck was that? I couldn’t say. I felt someone else was here with us. Great now who the fuck was it? Hopefully it was someone from my list that Fate wouldn’t be protecting. I saw a shimmer and then a woman stood there in between Addison and I. Not just any woman though. Coyrah’s mother stood between us now. Well Fuck! Not only was she not on the list, not even I could kill someone who was already dead. She turned her back on me and looked down to Addison. She shook her head.
“You are losing more than just bits of your life here Boy. The longer you take to answer the farther Coyrah slips away. Remember what you were told before you came in here. This darkness is like no other that you have faced before. It wears the same face as my daughter and is indeed a part of her but you have let it win. It beats you because you have not taken the time to understand it. It is Coyrah’s pain. It is her God head. But it is it’s own being too. You must give Coyrah a reason to come back.” She said. Her voice was soft and comforting. Which only hurt Coyrah more. She was not even talking to her. She was taking this piece of shitside over that of her own daughter.
“Well, well that is just great. Even in death you can find a way to hurt your own daughter. She wanted nothing more than to have you around and now you would rather waste your time on this piece of shit then even try and talk to your daughter. That is great and pieces of shit like him and you wonder why she doesn't want to come back. Why did she let me come into being to begin with? Well here is your answer. So tell her Mommy Dearest, why are you here? Is it for her or so she will do what he wants? Please answer if you can, no doubt I already know what it is and the moment you speak it you will be the one driving her further away from everything you care about.” I said. I spoke only the truth. I didn’t need to lie to prove the point. She wouldn’t even look at me. That was answer enough for both of us. “That’s what I thought.” I said. I felt Coyrah pull even further away. She was beyond hurt at this. I walked up to the ghost and swong at it and wouldn’t you know it I hit her. I smiled at this. I saw her realise that she had pushed her daughter further away by not answering. But I was getting bored again. I wanted out NOW.
“Let me out of here NOW. It is obvious that you have failed. Coyrah will NEVER return. She doesn't want anything from any of you. Hard to believe as it is for me but a kind word from the bitch that bore her into this cruel world and she might have tried to fight me back into my box but you couldn’t even do that. What the fuck kind of mother are you that you would take this weak ass piece of shit’s side over your own daughter?” I said Coyrah had to know. I was the only one that cared about the fact that all she wanted was a home and peace and to be loved. I couldn’t give her the last but I could somewhat give her the other two. Which was far more than either of these two fucks were offering.
Her mother actually started to cry which discussed me. Pathetic that's all it was. This was an act. She had been caught being no better than anyone else and now she had to find a way to back track. I felt a tear roll down my own face and knew it was Coyrah’s last tear.
“She couldn’t even say anything to any of it. She is no better than the rest of them. You were right. I just want to go to sleep now and never wake up. This is all too much. I can’t take it anymore. Please just make it stop hurting.” Coyrah said. I could not only feel her pain and sadness. I could hear it too.
“Go then and rest. I will take care of you like no one else ever could. You won’t have to deal with this filth ever again. Rest now Coyrah and be at peace once and for all.” I said. I saw the horror on her mother’s face.
“No Coyrah! You can’t do this to her.” Her mother screamed at me. I smiled at her and I knew it was not a comforting smile.
