"i am eve"
"she's cursed!" i heard a woman yell.
"her race was the genesis of the death of mankind!" another man spat.
"lets spill her blood!" i heard a little girl yell.
I broke.
They began to throw things at me.
Some yelled 'kill her already' others yelled 'to hell with the b***h'
And i just stood there getting wounded by what they threw.
"hum-"
"don't you dare speak, once again you want to get rid of us right?" a blonde girl said
"don't worry Catherine the last Eve who tried that, died a horrible death" another spat clearly trying to get me all rilled up.
Tears poured down my guilty eyes, i had wronged them, all the courage i had just raced out of me, i felt like my strength was drained.
And then the worst kind of feeling sank into me.
Helplessness.
Once again i was helpless. Back then and now..
And you know those words i spoke about, i ended up being mute.
Suddenly.
What should have never happened happened.
I saw someone throw a javelin.
I closed my eyes for the impact, i expected to feel the pain but nothing.
Only a weight that forced me to the ground.
I slowly open my eyes.
And he's there, bleeding for my sin.
Liam.
***
"liam.." i managed to say as tears rained down my cheeks.
"i..i.. I told you.." he struggled to breathe.
"shut up, just hang in there"
"someone help!" i yelled in desperation.
No.
He couldn't die, he couldn't leave,not now, not here and not like this.
"o come on," he said as he let out a sad laugh hiding the pain which was impossible
"you and i both know they won't help" he chuckled.
a lone tear slid down my cheek.
"hang in there for me" i said as more tears poured down.
"i can't, oh come on" he tries to breathe " where's that girl who yelled few minutes ago?, that she'd save the world with or without me"
" i didn't mean it, don't leave me, i can't.. I can't continue living not without you."
A sad smile spread across his lips.
He pulled something out of his pocket.
It was his Adam's chain.
Was he really going to die?
And leave me all alone.
In this cold bloody world.
That was doomed by my existence?
He placed his shaking bloody hand on my cheek.
"sorry.. i lost.. i couldn't protect you from humanity"
I wiped my tears with my bloody hands.
"don't leave please,forget about everything, let run away, very far, remember that's what you wanted right?"
He gestured me to come closer,which i did.
"live Bella" he whispered.
How could he?
How could he ask me to live when i wanted to die so badly.
How could he ask me to live in a world that wanted me dead.
I was tired of living.
I wanted death, to acknowledge my existence just this once.
I suddenly felt his hand drop. silence drowned me, while pain pushed me deeper into my guilt ridden ocean. then it dawned,
He was gone.
He had left me.
He actually left me.
"liam!!!" i screamed begging for my heart to stop beating, i didn't want to save humanity without him, i didn't want to live without him
I rested on his chest which was soaked in his own blood i stroked his brown hair that was soaked in blood and i covered his eyes.
He was dead.
And it was my fault.
For being alive.
For choosing to save humanity.
For being Eve.
For existing.
No!
I stood up.
It wasn't my fault.
It was humanity's fault, for a moment i understood my sisters rage.
For a moment i too wanted to end humanity.
I was going to do it.
I was going to finish what the former Eve's couldn't.
"i am eve.
Descendant to the kaleid throne."
The mark on my chest begins to glow.
"7th daughter, to the queen ilumi.
The one who raises a storm from dust.
The one whose rage wipes out nations..
The fifth e-"
" hold it right there!" a voice said
" i seek an audience with you, Eve, the last descendant to the kaleid throne, the queen" an awfully familiar voice spoke.
