Extra 3 : Dark knight rises

Extra 3 : Dark knight rises

(Sorry for the  title, couldn't resist.)

Little warning, it's pretty dark.

Extra 3 : Her circumstances.

I must admit, I had my doubts.

I didn't see why Tas... that guy was chasing after her so desperately. Sure, she was a super pretty foreigner, but so was Irina, and he didn't run after her all that much. In fact, he never ran after anyone else than her. We all came towards him, and he neither accepted, or rejected us, from his viewpoint, it was only natural for things to be like that.

And for a time, I believed it. After all, we've been childhood friends for about as long as I remembered, our parents, old friends, and all my life, I heard from mine that it would be nice if our families could be linked by more than friendship.

Normal day, wake up, smile and listen to the neighbor's shenanigans, go to school, listen to other girls chatting about subjects I don't care about, listen to teachers that don't care about us anyways, eat at the cafeteria with girls I know I won't see again once we graduate, go check on that guy, go back to my classes, do my homework, eat alone and go to sleep.

At school, I did my best, for everyone to be proud of me, and it worked. But that guy was the one who got the attention. Before long, it became expected of me that I needed to be the best everywhere, it was normal, and stopped being an achievement. That probably was what drove me in his arms, in desperation.

I...Am not a good person. I don't have a good personality. I'm not even that pretty, dull, straight black hair and regular, boring brown eyes. I'm a coward at heart, without any single unique characteristic. In a crowd, you couldn't pick me up. That's how normal looking I am.

Just for once, I wanted to be special. Just for once, I wanted somebody to look up to me. To look at me.

That may be why I put up for that guy so long, maybe even liked him. When that VR game came out, that guy came up to me and begged me for help, a guy from our school had attacked him and stolen his items. As I went back home, my father gave me the set he received, because those kind of games were for younger people, and I would get to spend more time with That guy that way.

I didn't object, I'm such a good girl after all.

More and more girls joined in his quest, then we learned that his dedication, his fire, was directed towards another woman.

But he needed us, he needed my help.

People always wanted from me, but this time, I thought, I was needed !

I was so happy...

Then, after terrifying and wonderful adventures, we got thrown in another world, and I finally met Her.

And she was a beautiful child. Bright, smart, pretty, I hated her immediately, but she looked at me, clearly, despite her childish mentality. She was intense, like a flame, warm, drawing you in, fascinating you. But underneath that, there was a mind as sharp as a knife.

In hindsight, I understand she tried to warn us away from that guy, them and their politics. She tried to protect us from them, and I dismissed it as jealousy.

Her running away was no surprise to me, and I should have done as she did.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

But what was done, was done. I chose to follow that guy, my anchor, the center of most of my life as he went to another country. And that's when that one year of hell started. So many people. Always young and strong, but I was never willing, neither was Irina, but we were ashamed, and we shut up. After all, That guy wouldn't want damaged goods, right? He would abandon us as soon as he learned of it...

Irina gave birth once, that year, and I feared, each month, that my blood wouldn't flow.

Each passing day, we saw him, smelling of perfume, proof that he too was subjected to it, and we hoped, hoped so deeply that he would have been forced to go through the same as us. But it wasn't the case. Strangely enough, he got closer to us. Our Anchor, our hope to get out of this.

After a year, Freyja, or Yuri, as she called herself, was finally sighted. It took only a small push for Ta-That guy to lead us away from that place, killing the guards that kept us away from freedom.

He stayed there of his own will.

He made us stay here of his own will.

And back we were, All back to our ages, save for Her.

Clad in white, wearing a silvery armor, the skin white as snow and a hint of childhood still on her features. She looked even more beautiful and terrible than before.

Now I could see why those people were vying for her. It was her power that scared and seduced everyone. The ones she liked raised to kings and queens, the ones she hated turned into mindless shells, no matter how you looked at it, that girl couldn't be human. Shouldn't have been born human.

And back to our world, I finally learned the truth.

I was to give birth to one of their children.

A child created to be a weapon.

And back to our world, I despaired.

A teenaged girl, unplanned pregnancy, that guy not being the father.

My life was over.

But I couldn't bring myself to end it.

Whether it is this thing's, or mine.

I raged, screamed and destroyed, cursing the name of the ones that caused it all, my parents, that guy, his female friends, and the one who could have saved me from all that pain.

In the end, she was the only one who answered my call, however diminished she was.

She took the [child] away.

She took the [pain] away.

She took the [weakness] away.

So now I have nothing, but one thing left to give.

Hatred. Pure, red, burning, angry. My life has been destroyed, and now I will rise.

And they will all pay.
