I gasped, the surprise on my face evident. There was no way that could be him. My face an open book; I was normally good at hiding my emotions, but not now. I half wanted to burst out laughing and throw my arms around my long lost friend, it was strange for me to be feeling that, for I wasn't a happy person. The other half of myself was about to scream or even burst into tears. For when L had quit I myself had been close to taking a break with him. I would have gone back of course; but if I'd decided to take that break then, this would have never happened. "L?" I asked in disbelief, still surprised it was actually him. I sat down putting my head in my hands for a moment, wincing as a spasm of pain shot through one of my wings. I'd been through alot of pain, hec L had seen the through alot of the pain. Yet no injury I'd ever sustained hurt as constant as this had, each time the pain would catch me off guard, raising itself to new heights.
"How could you not notice? I'm a bitter twisted ghost of my former self. The assignment, the one after you left. The one you wouldn't take, we were caught in a cascade of falling rocks; one was going to pin Boston; so I took the blow for him..." No need to mention the fact I was now useless and I'd been expelled, no need to mention Boston wasn't even thankful. He regarded me as the same failure all the others had. Cold indifference that was all I got from them at the 'Academy'. Cold indifference.
"Reixa Creed." It felt strange giving out my own name. It was one of there greatest don'ts. We were never to give our own name. Always fake ones. I'd been Millies, Kates, and Angelicas in my time. Yet I was never my own name.
We’re all hysterical & going nowhere together.
C’mon rapture. Let’s go bedazzling.
Nothing gets futured without its own spitshine
& I’m already not not not not not not miraculous.
