Chapter 1- Abandoned
"Why?" I whisper, a single, silent, furious tear running down my matted and bedraggled cheek, which suddenly began to sting as if the day's events were seeping into my body like a woe-begotten plague upon my soul.
"It's your name..." She whispers quietly, futilely trying to mimick my emotions. But I could tell. Oh, no, I could tell that they were limited, if they were there at all.
"What about it?!" I cry out in fury, anger seeping down through the muscles showing in my skin.
"I'm sorry, Attics..." She whimpers, before turning away from me and running out of the forest. No, not out of the forest. Out of my life. Yes....it was never as mundane as that. Never 'You have a bad name' or 'I don't like your colour.' No, I alone knew the real feelings going on between the mask. She didn't love me anymore. She despised me, hating me, spurned my very existance, now that she had Omnis and Kiokas, and the much more 'lovable' things called Iluvus.
"Fine." I whisper, my tears drying up. I walk into the darkened forest, not seeing, only feeling, as if I was watching from above on my skeletal wings.
My name is Attics, and I have loved and lost..And shall never love again.
