Young and old, superiors and innocents.
There was no redemption for me.
What a pity.
“Hiss!”
I blinked my heavy eyelids as I glanced over to see the white Anaconda slithering towards my arm. I pouted my lips, unsure why this creature whom I was sure belonged to Aurelia was here.
Probably to spy on me.
Thinking of her and what a horrendous mother I’d become only reminded me of how lost I’d been in my agony.
I hated my own blood because my husband drilled into my mind that having a daughter was a sin itself.
I flinched at the sudden pain in my wrist, and my eyes darted to see the snake had not only wrapped itself along my arm but bit my wrist.
The owner of the snake probably wished for me to perish.
I stared at it for a hard minute, waiting for the poison to spread through me and leave me dead upon this grimy floor, but I watched the creature begin to blend into my skin until it was but a tattoo against my flesh.
What?
“So this is what you’ve become.”
I forced my eyes to lift up, only for them to widen as my body locked up entirely. Panic rushed through me, my body immediately trembling while I wished to scream but not a sound came out.
They would think I was crazy if they came to the guard in his armored attire, but those eyes.
Those eyes belong to the one person who pushed me into insanity.
“See what happens when I let you do what you wish? Add free and dumb and what do you get?” he pondered. “Freedom.”
He chuckled lowly as specks of lime green hair poked out of their hiding spot within the headgear he wore, while he slowly licked his bottom lip that was dry and cracked. He lifted his head as he took a single step towards the ironed bars, allowing the dim light to wash over his face.
Revealing orbs of blue with vibrant rings of red.
“It’s okay now. I’m finally here,” he reassured me. “I’ll whip you back in shape so you’re reminded why females should never have the chance to rule.”
I wanted to beg. To plead with him. To stay here where my chances of torture were nothing compared to what he’d have in store for me.
My eyes flooded with tears as I begged my body to move, but there was no use.
I’d made my bed…and now I’d be forced to lay in it…again.
“Don’t look so frightened. You’re safe now, my dear.” He tried to speak sweetly as if he was capable of being passionate. He’d lost that side a long time ago, and I was about to be reminded of why I’d raced for Elphaba’s aid that fateful day.
“Your husband is here now, Anastasia. Leave the rest to me.”
THE END.
