Unfortunate Anomaly

Melia storms up to the table with a pointed finger "I asked for ONE thing and you-!" but once she saw Zylax her finger falls slowly before she shuffles into the booth, "You wanted to let her hate you, didn't you? Why?" her tone shocked but her voice soft and soothing to the ear

Can I let you go? Will you let me? I don't know, but I know I have to try; or we'll both die. Zylax sits up fixing his posture to be more of a studious type. "I don't know what's goin on right now, but she is someone who can let go very easily." He looks down with sorrowful eyes then takes the last sip his tea could offer

sweetie. Melia shakes her head gently with a soft smile "It was not your fault, well it is but my motherly duty is to tell you it isn't" she chuckles then leans over the table "I don't know how you could tell the difference between my husband and Libraire, sometimes he lets work take over our home life." She softly giggles with a small warm smile. "You know, he was late to our wedding because he had a funeral to attend; he caught up with friends before hurrying back once all was calm. A part of me said he was just trying to cover up for him consoling a criminal he brought in that morning." Zylax looks up to her and inhales. His eyes look like there's no light in them, I guess even the most composed of us can feel depressed. As if the last couple of days haven't been spelling that out

He sighs "If I wanted to have someone to remind myself of the positives of my past, he was all I had. I didn't really have a choice if I wanted to see past my hatred." Zylax holds his head by the side. "If I said I wanted to-"

"No." Melia said softly with a little giggle following after "You, papers or not, are my child." she states wagging her finger in his face "Meaning you are my motherly responsibility. NO amount of sass or danger will deter me from that." Her smile is as soft and sweet as her voice

Her name is ironic... It's been gettin' pretty noisy outside, why am I just now noticing, I have two sets of ears!? Zylax thinks looking outside the window, there's children playing tag with sirens blaring in the background. " Why do you insist on taking care of me? You know I hate your husband, I bring danger to your family, and I'm not mentally sound. I pose a threat to you." he says with his eyes changing from a nonreflective burgundy to a ruby like color as if his eyes started to take in more light

What is this inescapable feeling? she sighs then shakes her head "But you're part of that family, rather you want to be or not. You deserve to know that someone believes in you and has room in their heart for you.-" she pauses and clasp her hands on his as her smile brightens her tears become visible "- No matter what I know our family loves you, through any and all storms."

Right as her words finished Zylax realized something. She was crying? Why? Why does it feel like time has slowed- Zylax see's the wall begin to indent from his side of the table NO not again! I don't give a damn what Lady Fate WRITES, LET ME FUCKIN MOVE! Zylax's body attempts to leap to Melia but every time his body is yanked back, again and again he tries with each microsecond feeling like a minute, with each microsecond Zylax see's a car slowly emerge from the wall and Melia's eyes slowly watering, slowly become more and more terrified. she's still smiling… Let me move. Let Me Move! YOUR MY DAMN QUINX SO LET ME FUCKING MOVE! Nothing happens Zylax just watches as her body flies from the impact

"NOOOO!!!" Zylax screams in a blood curdling cry as the dark oak floor changes into a chess board with white carnations and black roses sprouting between the cracks. Zylax finally able to move dashes towards Melia

Melia lies there with her blood creeping from the corners of her mouth. I woke up and felt like today was going to be just difficult, but once I got you back, I knew my end was near. Even in my final moments I don't regret having you as my child. Melia gulps down her blood "Tell Shade that I want her to-" She has a wet cough but no blood "- be a hero,no matter what caramel says. Tell my caramel I'll be there to pat-" her body jerks while she has a dry yet bloody coughing fit which dies down"- his back.when the world is dar...k" 

Zylax holds her now lifeless head in his lap as the emotional dam falls

As his sobbing replaces the silence, the clear sound of footsteps resonate through the air, Dauze stands behind him. "You have the knowledge to save her, but do you want the power?" Dauze says right next to Zylax's face

"Yes!" He replies desperately through his tears, attempting to look Dauze in the face but as he looks up Dauze is nowhere in sight

"EVen if, it meant making a deal with the Devil!?" Dauze replies now walking behind Zylax, and stopping right behind him

"the devil?" He repeats in a quiet tone as his tears slow, his face twitches and Dauze simply reaches his hand out

"The Devil?" He says in a louder and clearly angry tone

"..." Dauze curls the end of his lips and raises a brow

The silence blares for Zylax before returning to normal. His face twitches again "Me and you both know that if someone gets Fucked over by the world enough, They, Will. Inflict that pain, those Emotions back onto it. So, if, IF that's the path I am to be forced down… I'll Do it. my own way." 

"Even at the cost of her life?" Dauze asks with a wide grin
