The Villainess With No Happy Endings

Chapter Eighteen - Through ▊▊▊▊▊▊▊▊(The Figure) Eyes - In Between

The final human we met was also wrinkled but had a more cold look in their eyes. They wanted power to destroy a whole kingdom for betraying them and leaving him to rot for all the things they made him do. This human didn't care that if our power consumed him we would consume him and then become a part of us. This human didn't look guilty at all as they destroyed everything in their path.

When we consume the human and end up seeing their memories it made us see that, yes they are a cruel person. Yes, they did many bad things without feeling any remorse. Yet they did all of this because they loved their kingdom so much and when their kingdom stabbed them in the back and left them to die alone that made everything they did, in the end, mean nothing.

We didn't leave the dark space after that. We still give up our powers to people but we never did meet anyone else. We were just alone with all these humans with us. We learned many things from these humans yet it was never enough for us. We wanted to know more and see more.

We always felt like we were just half of a being. We feel as if there is something else out there that is a part of us. Yet we aren't able to find that piece because we are trapped in this dark space, never allowed to leave unless permitted by someone else.

So we stay in this dark space, alone for many years. We didn't know when we would get out of here or if we would see another human again. We were just here with nothing but our thoughts.

When we finally got out of the space again and we met a child... This child was such a lonely one. A child whose soul was in someone else's body... This child had so much darkness around her soul we were surprised that she was still normal.

We were curious about this child and wanted to know more about her. The child looked so lonely and we didn't want to leave her alone. We decided to leave her a gift of our magic stone. Our magic stone would help her with her magic and it would help us find her anywhere if we felt like she was in danger.

We would often spy on the girl in secret and saw how she lived. We noticed that she wasn't close with her 'family' and the cold look her 'family' gave her. We didn't understand why this 'family' hated her so much and we wanted to hurt them but we knew that would cause trouble for her.

We saw the child had a guard up against many other humans and didn't allow anyone too close to her. Yet we knew that the child wished she could allow someone in without worrying that they would hurt her. We wanted to take away this fear of hers but didn't know how...

This child is important to us. The humans we have in us also find her important. They want to always be with her and get rid of the things hurting her. Something about this child's soul is so tempting and alluring that it's hard to ignore her.

We often worry about the child when her emotions get out of control. We could feel her anger and how much she wanted to destroy everything in her path. We wanted to comfort her but with what words? We never were good at understanding emotions.

We wanted to protect the child so much... We didn't want her to be near the 'family' who only caused her pain. We hated seeing them upset. We only want them to be happy. But how can we make them happy?

We only seem to be good at making humans suffer and we don't want that. It is unfair that we are only a being of darkness... We don't want to be seen as someone who only causes suffering. We also want to be seen as someone who brings joy to human lives.

When our child was being hurt by a being who was like us but not a part of us. We felt so angry and wanted to destroy them. Why does harm come to our child? She never did anything wrong to anyone. Our child is the only light in our dark space.

Our child was so hurt by the things that were told to her and we didn't know what to say to her. None of the humans in us couldn't help out either. We simply left her to be found by another human and watched as they helped her...

We felt envious that someone else can help her while we could barely do anything. We can't close the gap between us. We are a being of darkness and she is a human. There is nothing about us that is alike and that is upsetting.

We just want to be able to help for once... We never ask to be like this. For once let us, be helpful and make us be able to protect this child. We don't want the child's soul to be devoured by the darkness surrounding her. We... We want to actually help this time. We want to be seen as a good thing for once and not a thing for destruction.

Author Note - "It was an adult woman for a second, an adult man the next, a boy who looked to be my age, then a girl who looked to be my age as well, it was then an old man, then finally an old woman. It kept switching between different appearances like it didn't know what it wanted to be" Well I brought this back and the reason for the figure's many different appearances. Will I ever tell you more about these people? Maybe, I won't say anything more about them so it won't spoil the story. I do hope that you enjoyed learning more about the figure. Next week will the last week about seeing through different characters' eyes. I do hope you will stick with me~
