Our parents taught us that the body was just a vessel. Only a shell remained when the soul, the most essential part, left.
She was my baby sister. I wouldn’t let her starve.
“Stop trying to save me, help me, and for the love of the gods, stop following me like a lost fucking puppy!”
I spun. “How many times do I have to set you on fire, drop a building on you, or stab you before you leave me alone?” “After what you just did?” He didn’t even look phased as he shrugged a single shoulder. “At this point, I’m starting to think the violence is foreplay for you.”
“We both know that’s not what I like.” “It’s not?” He stepped closer, encompassing me in his warmth and scent. “Come home and teach me what you do like.”
Let me help shoulder some of this weight for you.”
“Always with the tone of surprise. There is no place in this world or the next that you can hide from me, akrai.”
We can do this dance until this world burns and the next takes its place, but I will still choose you.”
“Do it.” I angled the tip of her blade above my heart. “If you are truly gone, I refuse to live in a world without you, so you’ll have to angle it farther to the right. That’s where a god’s heart lies, and mine already belongs to you, so do with it what you will.”
My amata knew my heart, and I was never alone.
“Judge? Not at all. The things I have done to keep myself from feeling far outnumber yours and forever will. Trust me. You’d have to live a millennium to catch up to me.” He scoffed. “You’re right that I don’t get to dictate how you heal, but gods, Dianna, you could’ve used me. I would have let you, and you know it. Anything you desired, whenever you wanted, any way you wished. All you have to do is ask.”
His brows furrowed. “What did you think would happen after you rampaged across Onuna and damn near destroyed the world? Consequences, Dianna, your actions have consequences.”
“You’re a fool if you think I would be happy in a world where you did not exist.”
I want you to laugh again, to love, to have fun. I want you to live, truly live. So if you read this, if I am truly gone, know that I would never leave you, even if you can’t see me. I would never abandon you.
We can just pretend I am waiting for you to come home. One day, we will see each other again, no matter how long it takes. No matter where I go, I always know I will be okay because I had an amazing sister who loved me. You taught me how to take care of myself. You held my hand when I was scared to jump off cliffs, and you held my hand through everything else. You are not a monster. You never were, no matter what you think. You are my sister, my best friend, and my protector. So, if, by chance, this is the last time we speak, know that your job is done, and it’s time for you to take care of

I stared at the doorway, too tired to even care that he’d ordered me around like a mangy mutt.
Haha
“There is nothing in my system from Dianna that I’d wish to remove. The thought of just being a simple fuck to her makes me wish to get disemboweled repeatedly. That would hurt less.”
Even when she is throwing her anger at me, I do not think I could fully have her and not wish for forever.”
Don’t you have godly duties to attend to?” A brief smirk crossed his features, but he seemed to have no desire to fight. “You are my only priority.”
“No one comes here. It’s yours if you wish it.” “A whole beach?” I shook my head. “You’d give me a whole beach?” “The world, if you wish.”
He was always so polite, but he was absolutely filthy when I had him like this.
😂
“I hope it gets better. For both of us.” Samkiel swayed with me in his arms. “It will. Trust me. This is not something you just recover from in months or even years, but I will be here with you every step of the way, whatever you need, just like you have been for me. You led me out of my darkness, Dianna. Now let me lead you, or I can follow you into the dark, but there is no me without you. Not anymore. Do you understand?”
He raised his hand between us, extending his small finger. “Pinky promise? A dark-haired beauty told me long ago that it is practically the law in her world.”
