Zane

I look at my shaking hands. Everything me and Aphmau knew about a each other was a lie. Everything.
A lie.

And here I thought, I was making some progress. But just like always, I ended up right back where I started.

I pick up my family picture book and I flip through a few pages.

The first one is of Garroth. His teenage blonde hair is shaggy, falling over his blue eyes. His white shirt has a black cross through it and has numerous grass stains. His face is a mix of exhaustion and happiness. His arm is linked with Vlyads, who looks just the same as Garroth, except younger and in a dark green shirt. In the distance, you can see me playing kick ball with our childhood friends. I looked so happy.

"...that child is grown up. His dreams are gone. And he has become comfortably numb...."

The door creaks. I glance back.

"Come in Lillian."

A few swift steps and Lillian is sitting next to me. Her black hair sways below her hips and her hood masks her eyes. But you can tell she's crying. Her face is pale and blotchy and streams of water trickle down her cheeks. I grab her hand.

"What's wrong?" I ask. Lillian snatches her hand away from mine.

"Y-your a monster, Zane." She trembles. I furrow my eyebrows.

"What?"

She stands up.

"Guards came and told me something. Something about Aphmau." She shakes. My heart sinks.

"She was hysterical." Lillian continues. "Screaming about him. About how much she missed him."

I begin to cut her off but she talks over me.

"Here I thought he had a slip up and cut himself. But no. I overheard your father, Zane. How could you?" She cries.

I stand up and clamp my hand over her mouth, placing my blade to her neck. Her mask flys back and I'm treated by her terrified crystal eyes.

"Don't you tell me what I already know. I know what I did. And I can't have you risk this. Risk what I have with Aphmau."

Lillian's eyes flash with a terrible mix of hatred and fear.

"You wouldn't....I'm your best friend...." She cries through my hand. I shake my head solemnly.

"Oh, dumb, dumb Lillian."

I lash deep into her throat as blood pours out her neck. Her lifeless body falls flat to the ground.

"I've killed once.

            I can do it again."
