Dark Secret (A City of Heroes minfic)
Title: Dark Secret
Rating: PG-13 (for death)
Pairings/Characters: Chibi and her phantasm
Warnings: None that I can think of other than people dying.
Summary: I use to be a big fan of CoH, I played it all the time, more than I played WoW. Anywho, while cleaning up one of my old jump drives I came across a fanfic I started for my character Chibi. And, for some odd reason, feel the need to post it. It made me nostalgic for the game, haha. I kind of want to start playing it again. x3
Wrapping her arms tightly around her shivering body, she stared with uncaring eyes at the towering building before her; she watched in morbid satisfaction as it began to crumble, the orange and red wisps of fire sending black smoke rolling high into the sky.
She heard them screaming, the reality of their fate weighing heavily on them. She felt no pleasure, she knew she should at least feel something, sorrow maybe, but her whole body was shaking with a numbness that she didn't understand.
"We must go, young one. Others will be here soon and will find us."
Her head fell limply to her chest, her dark green hair covering the small cheshire smile that graced her pale face. "Let them come, they will not kill their child. They've spent too much to risk losing their darling little project."
The blinding white male body beside her nodded in agreement before resting a hand on his charges' shoulder. "Be that as it may, you are weak and not prepared to face an army; and I could not battle them by myself." Noticing the small child's shoulders were shaking from something other than the freezing winter night, he tightened his grip on the nine year-old's shoulder. "Come, we must make haste."
"They'll only follow, what kind of existence is that?" Tears were now threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Better then the one you previously had young one."
Straightening, she looked up towards the burning building, the fires reflection dancing on the dark of her eyes. "Where will we go?"
Kneeling down to his charge, the glowing man's eyes softened, his mouth-less face stretching in an odd comforting smile of reassurance. "Somewhere they dare not follow."
Throwing her small arms around his neck she buried her face into the crook of his chest, "We will make them hurt wont we, Phan?"
"When you are stronger young one. For now, rest." Lifting the small, tired, child into his arms, he gently lifted himself off the frozen ground before vanishing from site.
You are sickened by the weakness
Of a heart that's filled with fear
And if the world won't understand you
You can make it disappear
'Cause there's a dark secret
Carry with you
Carry with you
And deep inside, the way you hate them
On the outside, doesn't show
And oh, they think that they defy you
They are slaved to what you know
