OOC>>> Sorry, Larry... I'm going out later in less than an hour's time  Oh, and please let this character rest in peace [img]smile.gif[/img]
IC>>>
Eliza
Ignoring the bewildered look on Azure's face, she sits erect on the bed, a possessed look haunting her pale face. Lips trembling, eyes misty and shivering with fever, she blinks occasionally, her mind obviously distracted by troubled thoughts.
So clear that my world has crumbled. But for what? ~ Flashes of dimly-lit taverns, her gay laughter cheering the patrons and her smiles sending the hearts of men shattering ~ If I had not been so eager to prove myself... if I had not tried to please Father... yet what did I do wrong? ~ Inner shrieks hurting her eardrums ~ All I was asked to do was find a girl named Elena... and that is all I tried to do...
A handsome lad, inexperience showing on his ruddy face ~ Raymond. You turned away from me when I tried so hard to protect you. ~ A tear rolls down her cheek ~ Damien was evil, you know that well enough... and as for Gavrouche, it takes a rogue to know another. ~ Remembering the sickened expression on Raymond's face ~ I never intended for those two to be eliminated that way. But you choose to think so. ~ Suddenly bending over in agony ~ You've never had a good opinion of me... damn you... ~ Her fists tighten further, her body taut with tension ~ You don't appreciate me for what I am... you and Galadria and all the rest... ~ The silent wail echoing within her ~ Unlike Vane.
Vane. At the word, she raises her hands and buries her tear-streaked face into them ~ I have misjudged you, Vane! ~ Convulsing ~ You, who waited all this while for me... come back, Vane, come back... ~ Sobs involuntarily escaping from her mucus-stained lips ~ Have I been wrong? Father, my hero, is a villain?
Head spinning, she feels herself reeling into emptiness. Fumbling into her pocket ~ You are the only one who ever bothered to understand me... damn those self-righteous paladins, damn those subservient guards and men, and most of all, damn that father of mine! ~ Unsheaths the bejewelled dagger ~ I atone my sins towards you, Vane... wait for me...
Swallowing a gulp, she reverses the alignment of dagger ~ Please make this painless. ~ With a final effort, she jams the dagger towards her heart, her last cry piercing the stillness of the room...
