Hold No Mercy for a Lost love

I watched. And I knew. I held no purpose in anybody knowing what she did, but I am her father. Through the holes of the box I watched her beat countless men senseless, and the lives she had taken could no longer outnumber the ones she saved.

I could no longer feel sorry. I spent my whole life holding captive the thoughts about what my daughter would grow up to be. How she would look, what she would do and how she would be happy. But I saw nothing but despair for the hope I held and the blood pooling into the floor served as evidence.

****************

when you die something happens. A darkness surround you, but mine was full of warmth, overwhelming warmth but the pain was behind me. Too far behind me. And there I rested, looking around me I saw nothing but darkness and I heard something.

"Orion!" a peaceful tone that I hadn't heard in what felt like lifetimes broke through the darkness like a flame. It was Azalea. My long lost love. "It's over!" she continues as I smile, now we would be together forever. That was until.

"Uh" I let out through the darkness as I finally see Azalea's face as I have never seen her look more exquisite.

"Our daughter calls to you, my dear!" She says, her tone almost excited as I feel the pain finally. My abdomen feeling torn as my skin burns with tingles. But Azalea's takes my face from my slanted figure into her hands, "Do right by her like I never could" she ask of me as I nod and let out a agonizing groan as I grip my stomach. "Brace for the pain, my dear" She warns as she kisses me and I clench my eyes shut.

With the pain comes light.

"Father!" I hear as I spring up from the stone ground as Gehenna jump on me, wrapping her arms around me. She wore a white gown that was drenched in water, drenching me too as she embraced me. "I thought I would never see you again!" she touches my faces as I grab her hand, holding it. "Father?" she call me as I look at her.

"What magic did you do to wake me?" I ask as she shifts her weight. "I will ask you again, what magic did you do?!" I ask her once again, more sternly this time.

"I did what I had to do father" she prides herself as I turn her hand over and see it for myself. On her right palm was the shape of a mandala outlined with the color black. Turning her left hand over I saw the same thing.

"I had no choice" She says through her wet hair as I just sat there and stared at her.

And as my daughter fell into my arms and cries I pat her head. Thinking about how my own daughter could have preformed the one forbidden magic. Necromancy would certainly consume her, and her death would be her only release.

"And now this choice will consume you" I confess to her under my breath as she continues to lay on my lap.

****************************

"What have you done?" I ask her as her smile departs her face.

"What do you mean?" She ask me as she holds the bars of my metal cage. "I only did what I was taught" She reasons as she smiles and I see that glint in her eyes.

"No one ever trained you to be a killer!" I argue as her smile fall.

"YES! SOMEONE DID!" she yells as she rattled the bars.

"Your mother failed you" I tell her as all I hear is cackling, maniacal laughter.

"Clearly she wasn't the only one" She admits as her eyes fall and she backs away from me. "What do you want to hear from me, father?" she ask me.

"I want you to fight" I urge her.

"Is that what you want?" she ask me as I don't even have to answer her question, the look in my eyes telling her it all. "Well then" she breathes and something in her eyes changes. "Daddy, I'm fighting!" she calls as I freeze.

"Gehenna?" I ask her as her eyes are glassy.

"I killed her, didn't I?" she ask me as I nod the answer to her question.

"You didn't have a choice" I reassure her.

"I wasn't really going to do it, but something came over me. It all just took over me." Her disbelief staining her face. "But I don't know how to stop this dad, how do I stop this?" she questions herself as I see her fighting and aching face.

"We will figure it out" I enthusiastically say as she can see through me façade.

"I'm going to die, I know I am" she admit, her voice breaking as I look to my chains.

"You won't, I won't let you. Just let me out and we can figure this out." I try to persuade her as she cries and finally stops fighting it again.

"You can't honestly think you can save the daughter you once had, you almost killed her after all!" She taunts as she walk away and leaves me alone all over again.

A few hours later

Laying on my mundane and sad bed, I stared, looking up to the sky through these bars.

"Don't do this, Beth!" I hear as steps are quickly hurried down the stair and I see Gehenna's friend before me.

"This is what she is hiding" Beth speaks as I stand up and walk closer to her.

"How can you be alive?" She ask me.

"Gehenna- She did something" I start as she waits. "She brought me back from the dead" my confession taking her aback.

"What?" she asks as she look to the man behind her. "Benjamin?" she calls to him.

"But that is Necromancy" he explains as I nod my head to his answer.

"What does that mean?" Beth asks aloud as I look toward this Benjamin and then down to the floor in despair and guilt for the outcome.

"It means that she is too far gone" Benjamin tells as she nods her head.

"Unless" I say as I look to her. "How much do you care about Gehenna?" I ask her.

"Like my own sister, she is my dearest friend" she tells as I shakily come closer to the bars.

"Because, then you can kill me!" I kindly ask.
