Maybe it was fate the day they first met. Soft angelic features and a hazy blue aura met with a tangle of lies personified. She was a bad person to most, misunderstood in what she did and chastised for it by the people living here. Labels never bothered her much, she had to get used to them, and money was money..no matter the job. Angel was the only person who had never judged her, never let the "rumor's" convince her of what kind of a person "She-devil" was. She only knew Pandora, but the Pandora she knew wasn't real.

"You don't have to do these jobs you know. You are better than that. You have other talents."

Talents? She was good at lying, stealing and staying out of sight. Good at making up identities on the spot. Good at being anyone but herself.

but who was she really?
She didn't even know, too many lies..too many names. Over time it all became such a blur. It became second nature to lie, to protect herself. To become someone that she wanted to be? she wasn't sure. At some point it just felt wrong to tell the truth.

"What's your name?"

"Pandora.." a lie.

And then she smiled at her, grabbed her paw and dragged her into her life. One chance meeting after another, her bright light slowly poking holes in her resolve. Melting her down. Making her care. Angel was someone she had come to love, someone she trusted. Someone she didn't want to hurt. If she ever found out that this person she knew was all a lie, she would crumble. She could never tell her, could never let her find out. She would become Pandora if thats what it took to keep her friend from pain.

She would just have to keep lying, forever.

"Your paws softly step on the pavement, one after another. You stared and look at them as if they belong to an unknown entity.

To you, your mortal form might as well be. Used to gliding forms and the feeling of air rushing through your feathers, you feel as if your body doesn't belong to you. An unholy, ungainly thing, burdened by your terror, your mistakes and your pain. You flex your paw and claws come out, you see a waterdrop hit the pavement near it.

Or maybe it was a tear?

But no, as your raise your eyes to the Heaven sky you see it filled with fat gray clouds filled with water. Thunder rumbles once, and you fold your ears back. You try to tell yourself that you're not looking for glimpses of blue dashing through the clouds, but you're not in the business of lying to yourself. Only to other people.

You continue walking, you do not know where are you going.

Or that's what you tell yourself.

A church appears in your view You feel your fur bristle. But you only feel as if your heart is breaking, something that mixes with the acidic burn of anger and the dusty taste of longing. Slowly you approach the steps that lead into it, you deliberate for a moment before putting a paw down in one step, before removing it due to the burning sensation than ran up your arm.

You can almost hear those fools in Heaven laughing at you. You don't know why did you expect anything different.

You just wanted to talk to him for a last time.

With a growl and a lashing tail you forcefully remove yourself from the accursed building. Let Him ignore you, that's fine. You don't need him.

You tell yourself that the water running down your face is just from the rain.

The burning from your eyes calls you a liar.

-------------


Oh dear God, how could it be a secret? You feel as if everybody knows by know, how can they look at you and miss how much you want- A weight as heavy as it is in your heart as it is on your shoulders.

But to him, as He ignores you, he misses most of what you hide. Especially your last words, that burn in your throat.

'I miss you. I'm sorry'

Dear Soliphriel

I know you will never truly read this but I need to say it.

Do you remember that night in the forest? When you were finally able to sneak away and we could watch the sunset together? We watched as the orange glow faded behind the trees and slowly the earth turned to a deep blue. I think that’s the night I fell in love with you. The feeling of your fur just barely brushing mine. The weightlessness of your laugh. Even writing it feels like too much, like simultaneously my words are too strong and not enough to explain all that I feel.

Maybe that is wrong, maybe I should start over. Maybe I fell in love with you that day we went swimming in the creek. I had grumbled about going in until I felt the coolness of the water on my fur. You had jumped, and shrieked, and whirled about. You looked so careless and so full of joy that I realized I wanted to make you feel that feeling. I wanted to be what the creek was on a hot day for you. I’m being dramatic and soft, I know.

No. I hate to keep restarting. I know you tease me for my indecisiveness (kindly of course, I have not known you to be mean) but let me start once more. Maybe I fell in love with you when I met you. Not fully, don’t worry I wasn’t that helpless, but I fell in love at least a little bit. The way you greeted me confidently yet not arrogantly. The way jokes seemed to tumble past your mouth effortlessly. The way you gave me a compliment, I can’t even remember what, and it felt like a sun was inside of me, like I was filled with this intense warmth. I knew from our first interaction that I wanted you in my life. And as I got to know you that feeling only developed.

I know space and culture separate us. I know you probably don’t feel the same. But I can’t bring myself to lie to you fully. Even if it is just the page and some imaginary version of you that knows this. I don’t know what to do with this letter. I should bury it, or burn it, or tear it to pieces but I so rarely lay my heart out. My love (can I even call you that? You are not mine…) I can’t bring myself to throw away this physical representation of all that you mean to me, even if I risk ridicule if anyone were to find this.

Yours for however long you want my presence, Makala

They had arrived.

The two factions that would try to destroy our love. Those who had tried, and almost succeeded in ruining our lives. They dared to sully the Realm we had created, that he had crafted beside me. This was our home!

I knew, they had come to find us. To bring us back into the fold. Our “jobs” were done. Their war could now commence. We meant nothing to them, just two little insects in the scheme of their grand plan. They’d already tried once. Tried to rip apart the bonds we had formed, to make us turn on the other. No more!

Their approach was loud, not trying at all to hide their presence. They were confident, loud, unfazed by their arrogant sullying of this sacred land. It was a slap in the face to everything he… everything we had built together. I had to act. If they found him… my Angel… my beloved, he couldn’t defend himself.

Taking a steadying breath, I stepping forward, into the open. My feet placed gently in the half-finished circle he had made. The attempted protection I would now corrupt, for him. I watched for a moment, the slow rise and fall of his chest as he lay beside me, all his energy spent. Now it was my turn, this I could do for both of us. To make it up to him. To make amends for almost betraying him to Them.

I raised my claws, raking them slowly down my shoulder. The blood would awaken the circle. I stood within the light, they could see my clearly now. I watched their approach, waiting, chanting. All my feelings rose to the surface. The hate, the loss, regret, pain and most of all, love. I was doing this for love!

They got near enough to speak, whispering temptations, trying to lure me back. I watched as his faction approached the fallen form, I felt something break. With a shout, I lunged forward, slamming my blood-soaked claws into the earth “YOU WILL NEVER TOUCH HIM! YOU CANNOT HAVE MY HEART! BEGONE, AND TAKE YOUR STUPID HOLY WAR WITH YOU!” I poured it all into my cry, the strength of my emotion, my love, creating a pulse. Engulfing everything.

It was over almost as quickly as it begun. The angels, the demons, both had vanished. Sucked into a pocket dimension of making. My memories of being a demon along with them. I no longer cared for anything except the life I’d built with my Angel, my Brightstorm. My breath was fading fast and my vision went dark. Unbidden, a final thought passed through my brain. My Angel couldn’t know what I’d done, that his people were gone. Because of me.

“I’m sorry Angel, I did it for us.”

Congratulations!
I thought the writing and art in both you and your partner's entries were delightful!

I thought all the partners who came out for this competition did a great job, so this one was hard to judge, but the narrative just a had a little touch I couldn't ignore!
