Watching the woman you love stare into your eyes, knowing we’re both helpless in stopping what’s about to transpire.
I see the acceptance that forms in those mesmerizing eyes that can captivate me a mile away.
How they don’t hide how much her approaching death hurts her pride.
This fight isn’t close to fair. To be rendered helpless and unable to defend herself.
She was forced to face death without mercy…
It makes me seethe with internal rage.
“Ophelia…” I realize her name comes out as a quiet plea.
For some sort of miracle to happen that will make all of this come to a standstill, so I can think fast enough to steal her away from this madness.
She doesn’t deserve to die this way.
She doesn’t deserve to perish at all…
I notice the golden glint of scales just as Ophelia looks back, and it’s patting her neck.
“What is Ophira doing?” Kali questions in urgency. “She’s choking her!”
“No.” We quickly look at Blair, noticing the signs of realization that flicker in. Her eyes glimmer from pink to gold. “She’s trying to protect her.”
“By choking her to death?” Kali argues. “W-We have to do something! If we hadn’t fallen behind, she wouldn’t have gotten pulled into that death trap!”
I realize Kali doesn’t do very well in life-death situations, but I can hear the guilt in his voice that’s more ‘feminine’ than usual.
“We can’t interfere,” Hades quietly whispers.
I sense the hidden dread in his voice, which is exactly why I’ve been avoiding looking his way, but I have no choice now because I need to prepare myself for what’s about to unravel before my eyes.
My love… is about to die…
“Hades…” Azrael can barely get our comrade’s name out of his mouth because the obvious sight of pooling tears in Hades’ red eyes is enough confirmation of what the future has in store for us.
For Ophelia…
“No!” Kali whispers and grabs Hades by the collar. “CHANGE IT!”
Hades seems surprised by Kali’s roughness, just as we all are.
“K-Kali! Hold on!” Blair tries to pull him off Hades, just as Azrael swiftly grabs Hades before he can be pulled down by Kali’s rough grip.
“FIX IT! You’re a demigod, aren’t you?! All those rumors that you can visit the Underworld and fae from Nephilim and Malevolence beg for your services to save loved ones! Is that all a fucking lie?!”
Hades tries to hide his displeasure, but it’s written all over his face.
“I can’t change destiny,” Hades whispers.
My hands clench into fists, and I force myself to look away from them and stare at what’s about to transpire.
My Sweet Cruella deserves to be seen to the very end.
Some would say I’m accepting this fate, but I’m not.
I need to see this with my own eyes, so my revenge can be that much more bitter.
