Chapter 4: Markings (Lucina)
All emotions broke loose as I told Robin how these markings came to be. And not my emotions, his. One minute he was crying his eyes out with me, the next minute he was angry at himself..
(Flashback WARNING: Graphic)
10 year old Lucina watched, as her father slowly faded away, his body becoming nothing but a bloody corpse. "Lucina... G-go... Run... L-eave thi-this place.. Be-before he, finds you.." Her father croaked. "Remember, buddy... I love.. Uhn.." Before he could finish his sentence, he took his last breath, as the vision of his daughter went blurry, and that was the last thing he ever saw. "Daddy...?" Lucina said, still crying."d-daddy this isn't funny! ...get up!" Lucina said. She then realized that her father was gone, and cried onto his lifeless body, hoping her love for her father would bring him back. "Awww.. Little Baby Lucina going to cry...?" A sickening voice asked. Lucina turned around to see what used to be her very best friend, Robin. The man who killed her father. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO HIM!? YOU WERE HIS BEST FRIEND!" Lucina yelled. Robin chuckled and walked up to her slowly. "Don't cry little baby.. Your death won't be as bloody.. It'll be only worse." Robin grabbed Lucina's arm, and she screamed as patterns were burnt into her skin by his dark magic. Robin laughed as he watched her try to squirm out of his grip. But no avail. Her clothes burned with her skin as they were also getting stained red. Lucina was screaming and crying from the pain. When Robin finally let go, Lucina had markings, that looked exactly like the mark of Grima all over her body. "Listen well, Lucina. Even if you kill me and I go into a peaceful sleep, your burns will NEVER HEAL! Ngh-..." Robin stopped talking and held his head. "Lucina... Run.. Go..." Lucina looked at him, and she could see his Red eyes flash brown like they used to be. So she ran, her fathers blade sheathed to her side. And she never stopped running.
(End of flashback. Was it too gruesome?)
"...Is there any worse marks you have...?" He asked. I sighed as I remembered where the worst of my markings are.
I turned around to where my back was facing him, and pulled up my sweater to where all of my back could be seen.
I heard a soft gasp. I was probably going to be avoided for a while by him. But, I didn't hear fast footsteps towards the door like I had envisioned what would happen when I showed him.
I felt something touch one of the eyes on the pattern, I tensed up a bit, but then I relaxed. I then put the back of my sweater back down and turned to face him.
Tears kept stinging at my eyes. I'm guessing he caught onto it, since he wrapped his arms around me. I tried to pull away, but I was weak from the marks.
"Why do you pull away...?" He asked.
I was actually quite surprised. He wouldn't ask questions like this normally, I don't know why. He's probably too shy to do so more often.
"It's just... Odd... I guess..." I replied.
"Oh... Sorry.." He said, releasing me from his grip. I saw his emotion go from a bit happy, to embarrassed and kind of sad.
I didn't blame him, I honestly was a little sad as well. It was odd... Yet.. It felt.. Safer.. With his arms around me.
"Look.. I'm sor-"
I was backing away from him before and he was backing away from me as well, but then I ran up to him and hugged him, cutting him off.
"Wow... I was right..." I mumbled as a blush escaped and found a way to my cheeks.
"R-right? Ri-right about w-what?" Robin stammered.
I was hoping he didn't hear.
"Nothing...! It.. Just feels.. You know.. Safer..." I said, the last part a bit quieter.
I heard his breath hitch, and was about to let go, until he wrapped his arms around me as well.
"Same here... I..." I didn't hear his last words. "What..?" I said.
"HUH..?! UH... I-.." He sighed. "I-.. I-I Lo-Love y-yo-you.." My eyes widened. I pulled back to look at him. "Wait, wha-MMMPH!" I was cut off by him quickly putting his lips onto mine.
I was shocked at first, but then shyly kissed him back. He wasn't harsh or anything like that- Goddesses it feels weird to talk about him like that.. He just softly kissed me.
He pulled back after only a few seconds and liked at me wide eyed. "Y-you kissed me back?!" He exclaimed.
I laughed and nodded, smiling. I laid my head on his shoulder while he stood there shocked.
"I don't like you, Robin.."
I felt him tense up a bit.
"I love you..." I teased. He got less tense and I heard him let out a small laugh. He then put one of his hands on my shoulder and another on my back, still with his arms wrapped around me.
Well... I hope Morgan's mother Isn't who I think it is...
