Betrayal at the Sea

Kitty sat at the outer edge of the pier, her legs hanging over the ledge, bared footed, her toes sometimes dipped into the cold sea water as it rushes by wave by wave. Droplets of warm clear pearls drop onto her lap, the only warmth that can be felt against the cold wind howling at her. Her vision were blurred, very much by the tears in her eyes... unable to see much of the sea which is turning from white, to gray and darkening as the storm approaches. Kitty doesn't care if the storm would come, in her mind, there is a greater storm, one that nothing can calm, and time would not let it pass. "Why" was the big question she keep screaming loud in her mind, ringing and echoing louder and louder over time. "Why?" She cannot help herself crying as the waves rises, washing towards the helpful pier.

The betrayal was nothing she expected. All this was for nothing. From the start, she was never meant to success and it was not just false hope, but false trust. She pulled off her breastplate in anger, tearing at her wounded chest, blood spilling out, painting her inner gown red as the metal falls into the sea water, yet nothing trigger her slightest care. Indeed, she does not care anymore. Before this, it was all about the mission and the unquestionable trust she had, but now it was the very person she trust that had wounded her the most when the spear went right through her shoulders. Yet no matter how much the wound hurts, it would be nothing compare to the cracking of her heart. 

All of it were just illusion. It was all a trap, one she had place all her heart and soul in. The feeling were all just an act, to get her to help him, to trust him. Yet, to him, she was not even worth a pawn on the great chess board. His laughter still rings in her ears when she asked him how could he had done that to her... It was her childishness that was really the joke. She did not even suspected anything at all. All his sweet lies and promises of a better future still echo in her ears. And what of those nobles reasons that now turns int excuses for making her did all she did... Kitty never doubt it for a second. But it was just a dark joke played on her feeling.

But it all doesn't matters now as the rain water hit hard against her face... her tears now mixed into the cold rain, unable to distinguish between each other now. Kitty looked into the stormy waters but it was nothing compared to the torrents of sadness that is consuming her from the inside out. "I was just so silly..." She hated herself for trusting him and putting everything into his hands. But she know that all is lost now. There is nothing she could do for whatever that had been done and what wrongs could not be right. Kitty closed her eyes hoping to find some peace in the darkness, but peace was not there, just an eternal void of sorrow that stretches forever into the unknown. Kitty could feel her eyes bleeding because the red started to tint the darkness, but she did not care anymore. 

Kitty just wants to let it all go...maybe into the ever so deep water that lies below her. Her pain would end, would it not? she asked. She could no longer hold the sadness inside her as she scream out finally, in anger of herself and hatred of the man who had deceived her. But her screams were so soft compare to the brewing storm and it was swallowed by the angry waves and thundering rain that starts to surround the pier. All she could do now is to let go... and it will all end here. At least she could love no more.

As Kitty let go of her body, leaving it to fall freely into the waters below, she felt a strong arm grab her shoulders, pulling her back. With curiosity, she turned back to look, expecting it to be just another stranger, but a familiar silhouette appears right before her eyes. Her long hair and familar costume... this she will never forget. "Kismeta.." Her long lost friend, servant and companion pulls her up onto the pier and looked at her once mistress with her white purpled eyes, coldly, but yet never would be as close to the man who betrayed Kitty. " My good sister... the world still needs you..." Kismeta held her close as the storms consumed the whole pier with all its fury...
