The Other Side (geetrick)

*12

"You're destroying my world."

"I- I know. I'm sorry. Please don't make me leave."
I feel her bury herself into my skin
"They'll take me. The shadows."

"This place is safe. You're ruining it. The color is fading."

"Get it back."

"It's not so easy."

"You've tainted it. It will never be the same."

"Is that bad?"

"Yes. It's not safe here. I don't know where I am. How could you do this to me?"

"I love you."

"You don't help me."

"I need you."

"You need the purple. I only provided it."

"You know my allegiance to you. I'm not them. You don't need to question me."

"Yes, I can feel it."

Your love.

"I didn't mean to ruin your world."

"This is your world now."

"It's neither of our worlds."

"It's empty."

"Go. You must go. Go now and get the purple back. Cross over. Keep it. Once you get the purple back come to me."

"Now's not the right time."

"Don't come back until you have the purple. Don't let it slip away."

"You love me."

"What is love?"

I hold her fragile hand in mine, feeling the eye contact we don't make. Her eyes sparkle and shine. Her smile does the same.

"I'll save you."

"From who?"

"They'll never steal anything from you again. You can hide in the purple. It'll cloak you. Will you be safe when I'm not here?"

"Hurry up. Don't waste too much time."

"You're scared? They won't hurt you."

"I know."

"Don't move. Hide here."

"Hurry back."

"There is no time here."

"You don't know what is here. Open your eyes and leave."

"It hurts."

"Stay."

"No."

"It hurts."

I let out a small chuckle.
"You're beautiful."

"You smiled."

"Only for you."

"Goodbye. Hurry back to me."
