Things that will be
17. Things that will be.
Pain, intense pain. Why do I feel so much
pain? Why am I always in pain? I’m sick of it. I am so sick of it. I hate it. I
hate everything. Everything is causing me pain. I will kill them. I will kill
everybody. They can’t hurt me then.
I open my eyes and its dark. I move my
hands while ignoring the pain and notice that my clothes are different from
before. They aren’t rough, thin and there are no holes in them either.
They feel smooth and soft but still
durable. I put my hand behind my back, and I find my dagger there.
I use my other hand to try to find the
spider woman. I don’t even have to more until my hand touches her head.
The head moves up as I touch it.
“A…wake?”
“AAAH!”
I scream as hard as I can and stab the
dagger into her. Blood spurts out on my hand.
I take out the dagger and stab her again. I
feel drops of blood hit my face.
I try to do it again, but her hands wrap around
me. I flinch as I realize that I wasn’t being careful of her. Before I can try
to get free from her hands I get gently pulled into her embrace.
What? Why isn’t she trying to hurt me? She hurt
me before. Why would she be so gentle after I stabbed her?
“Sorr...y”
Why is she apologizing? What is happening
here? Her embrace is soft and warm. No, things shouldn’t be like this.
Why do I feel so bad now? I should kill
everyone so I they can’t hurt me but why does it hurt even if I try to kill
them?
“Herbs…”
Herbs? What is she trying to say?
“Heal…”
Does she want me to get herbs for her? So,
she could heal from the stab wound? Is that why she wasn’t fighting back? She
is too weak to beat me, so she begs for me to save her?
“Fire…”
You feel sorry about hurting me with your
fire now? Its too late for that. I won’t forgive you.
“Too…”
Too? Is she trying to say that she wants
fire too? But she can make her own fire. Fire heals too? Fire hurts. It doesn’t
heal.
“All…”
…
“I...”
…
“Could…”
…
“Do…”
No. I don’t believe it. She must be lying. I
was alright. Why would I need to be healed? Fire only hurts.
“Stay…”
She wants me to stay here? Why would I? All
she did was hurt me. I will kill her and leave. I will kill the other spiders
too.
“Safe…”
…
It hurts. It hurts a lot. A lot more than
before.
Her arms drop down from around me. Her body
starts to feel heavier. No. I don’t want this. I hold her up with all my strength.
I don’t want to let go of her. I don’t want to feel this bad. I don’t want her
to be dead.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHH!”
She wasn’t trying to hurt me, and I killed
her. She only wanted to help me, and I only wanted to kill her? I hate this. I
hate feeling so bad. The pain I felt before was nothing. Why did I have to kill
her?
Its unbearable. I can’t stand feeling like
this. I want to die. If I die, I won’t feel this pain anymore.
…
I can’t die. She
wanted me to live. Dying would be too easy. I don’t deserve to die. I need to
live. I will live.
I want to help
people like her. That way I can repay what she did for me. I can never make
amends for what I did to her though.
I take the dagger
that is inside her and put it behind my back into my pants. I softly put her
down on the ground.
I hear the sound
of the other spiders moving. If they want to kill me, I will let them. I can’t
kill myself but if they want to do it, I don’t have any right to stop them.
They only walk
past me to her. It hurts in my heart. I walk away. I can’t stay here.
