Riddles of the Phoenixes series

The War of the Phoenixes.

Chapter fifteen: A terrible price.

Everything is dark. My head hurts, but that’s normal. My body aches with pain. That’s normal too. Something is wrong, I know something is wrong. I feel darker, and more…twisted. Am I supposed to be like that? No. No I’m not. They wouldn’t want that, would they? No, no they wouldn’t. But I can’t stop that. I live in the dark. In the shadows of the night. They all hate me. They all fear me.

Maybe it’s better this way. I know what I want. They took it from me. It was everything to me. They took it from me. And now they will pay for what they have done. All of them. I know what I want and the one who can give it to me, knows too. But will they give it back? Yes, I will make them. I have to have it back! I can’t live without it! I will find a way. “It’s okay”….but it’s not. It hurts. They say I have a heart of stone. Is that true? Probably. But only because of what they did to me. They’re afraid of me. Good. Being feared is good, right? I don’t know who I am anymore. I feel like I’ve lost my true identity but…I don’t know how to bring it back.

My body aches with pain, my humanity is all but gone, I am….a monster. I will find a way to get what I want back. Nothing can stop me. My heart yearns for it…and I will have it. I can barely move without feeling pain. Sometimes I wish that I was still a child. Children are so naïve and innocent, they know nothing about the dangers of the world. They think that the world is a good place where people get along, and work together. They’re wrong. The world is cruel and dangerous, they took everything from me. I will get it back though, the thing I need most. I learned too late, not to trust people. And now I’m here. Everything hurts. It’s so dark in here. Can I come out and play?
