"You're right." The words fell from her lips in a broken whisper, tears finally cresting her clenched lids to trickle down her cheeks. Despite the physical pain - and gods, it hurt - it was the pure emotion that @Cera exuded that finally broke the bewildered dove. His words rained down on her, ice shards stabbing into flesh that was far too tender to withstand the onslaught. When would it end? Had she not borne enough pain in this life already? To shoulder this, to add to her many sins the crime of betrayal, the transgression of abandonment - to know that her actions left such a deep scar even in this stallion, in sweet Cera, in the colt that she had cared so deeply for but never known he viewed her the same - this was too much to bear, and beneath the weight of this new yoke she found herself collapsing, buckling until suddenly she was lying in the dirt with no memory of how she managed to fall. "You're right," she croaked again, her voice breaking and her her eyes overflowing. "You have every right to be angry. You have every right to hate me - you never deserved this pain, Cera. You didn't deserve any of this." And then she was sobbing, her shoulders shaking violently. The taste of his blood lingered still on her tongue, and as her head began to spin again and her stomach began to revolt, she staggered sideways, moving away from him - she didn't deserve to be here, didn't deserve his presence, not now (had she ever?) - And somehow she stumbled, her knees thumping hard into the sand. She had the wild thought that at least it was soft, the golden grains beneath her, at least it wasn't hard rock; and the oddity of the thought, the strangeness of its timing, had her fighting the urge to giggle hysterically. She was on her knees before the stallion who should, by the look of his face, be cowering, searching wildly for a healer. She had fallen when it was she who might have won the battle. She was at his mercy, and she wasn't sure that he had any more mercy left to give. "Talk talk talk." |
