Betrayed By Fate

Chapter 53 | Angel

"Arian-" she was cut off by the sound of approaching steps.

A terrified look on the goddess' face was enough for Arian to know that she was right to fear what is coming.

"I am sorry Arian....I-I can't stop it..." Arian eyes widen at what seemed to be unshed tears in the goddess' eyes.

It only made her fear grow.

Because the Moon goddess doesn't cry, not for anyone.

"I am sorry" her voice cracked as she put a hand on Arian's cheek, the goddess' touch missed any warmth. Arian couldn't feel her. She said that she wasn't organic, that she doesn't have a constant form.

The door opened and the goddess was gone.

Arian's eyes were closed.

Her body began to shake, her body shook in pure horror but she didn't know why. It was as her body knew what was coming.

The moment Arian looked up....

She wished for death.

She wished for the most painful death in return to escape from this reality.

Her whole world came crashing down on her.

Her whole world which once only consisted of her baby girl.

"Oh I see you know each other" Liam smiled at Arian, his eyes gleaming at the Arian's wide ones. "You might wonder if you are dreaming Arianrhod, you might think this must be a lie. But trust me it is more than real. My friend...helped with it, it was quite hard to fix it since all the limps were lacerated...my father really has done a good job at that, he always knew how to handle filth" he smiled at Arian.

Tears.

Drop after drop like acid burning her skin, but no pain could beat the one in her heart. Her heart raced, her jaw clenched almost cracking her teeth.

Liam came forward a content smile on his lips "Why don't you greet her?" He spoke to the figure behind his leg.

Please don't...

I beg you...please.

Get her away from me.

GET HER AWAY!

Arian's thoughts never reaching the light, her body was frozen yet her mind was racing, begging.

Begging.

A small girl came forward, Arian felt sickness rise within her at the stitched skin, the stitches adorning her exposed arms and neck, her complection almost as pale as her white dress. Her dark blonde hair and blood shot hazel eyes made Arian's heart ache.

She doubted at that moment that anything of her heart was left. It was shattered.

Shattered and grinded to dust.

Her still angelic voice ringing through the room, the smile on her scared face made Arian lose a ribbling sob.

"Mommy!" Lily cheered.

No.

No.

No!!

She-...can't be.

"GET HER AWAY!" Arian screeched, a painful sob shaking her to the bones.

"Mommy? What is wrong? Why are you crying?" Lily asked in an innocent tone which only made Arian sob harder.

"Your mommy is so happy to see you, how about you get your toys to play?" Liam patted Lily's head, she smiled brightly at him and skipped through the door with giggles leaving her pale lips.
