14 Tears On The Blade Of A Sword (2/2)

”Surina,” It was my dad's voice. One I had not heard for so many years. I glarred at the shadow, it gave me a twisted smile in return. ”Surina what are you doing honey?” My mom's sweet voice echoed through the room. ”You don't intend to hurt us do you sweetheart?” Both shadows took a step towards me. ”Its ok Surina,” my Dad's shadow said ”Just drop your weapon and come give us a hug.” They opned their arms in sync.

”Mom....Dad....” I whispered. It was so beliveable. Everything about them was a replica of my parents, everything apart from... Their eyes. I forced myself to stare into their cardinal eyes. There was no empathy, only determination to complete their horrific task.

”Your not real.” I whispered, to both myself and my enemies. ”Of course, we're real darling, just come give us a hug and you'll see.” I clutched my dagger tightly and started moving towards them.

”You need to drop the dagger sweetie.” they said as they started moving backwards.

They don't have any real attacks. If I hugged them, they would strip me of my magic and slowly suffocate me. They're meant to torture their victims, not actually fight them.

I created another dagger and quickend my pace, backening them against a wall. They did the only thing they could do; go in for the hug. I let them. As soon as i felt their embrace, I began to feel drowsey. They were slowly draining my magic. I didn't have much time.

I inhaled sharply and closed my eyes. I didn't have a choice.

”I love you.” I whispered before stabbing them in the back with my daggers. I kept hugging them, as the shadowy sparks slowly dispersed. I fell to my knees, my tears flowing like an endless river. ”I'm sorry.”

After a while, I looked up. A corridor had opened and the top piece of a large key was floating before me. I grasped it and felt its weight in my hands. I slowly rose up and walked to the corridor's entrance. I peered into the darkness. This could lead anywhere. To death, to victory. I didn't care anymore. I didn't care how much danger i would face- Shad was going down! With that, I entered the pa.s.sageway, determined to have my revenge.
