~~ Warning! Trigger warning now, going to be a hard solo. Loss of a loved one~~ #HeavenGainedAnotherAngel – Part 2 *I woke up a few times in the night just starring at the ceiling so it was no wonder I couldn’t just stay in bed. I was up just before the dawn made its way peaking through the clouds and a lot had to be done and planned out for my fathers funeral. The day prior was eventful and I had made such a fuss and a fool of myself in front of so many. It was the Pastor who came finally to the beach, I guess I was there for hours just starring into the ocean, pleading that it wasn’t true, asking god why now, asking if maybe it was my fault that I wasn’t the daughter Steve always wanted; over and over blaming myself. The pastor came up and sat down next to me; he was kind and understood the grief I was going to; he just talked to me that had me take in a lot and of course putting in perspective I wasn’t at all acting like the woman my dad always spoke proudly of. The...

~~ Warning! Trigger warning now, going to be a hard solo. Loss of a loved one~~ #HeavenGainedAnotherAngel- Remi's Story *The call came in early morning, not like I had enough on my plate with work, but as my mom spoke, I sat there, as people rushed in and out for paperwork handing it to my Vice as I waved my hand and told them to leave, all I could see was a blur and felt numb. The emotions that flooded me from pain, to anger to sadness. The deeper I got into it, the deeper I wanted to scream at God, why. Why did he have to take him? I wanted to grab a bottle of whiskey but that was out of the question with reasons of one and another. I had barely had time to even make a relationship with Steve, and it wasn’t fair. Why? Why now? My mother had my son, why did my son have to see this. I wasn’t one to show my feelings and be in the open, but things kept coming. I had to be the strong one for my mom and for my son #Nikko putting my emotions aside I sat up as many vo...

#NewBeginningsPart 5-The Devil Is Out   After a few long strenuous days, I did finally find #Him. But #He wasn't the same. I don't know if it was because of what I revealed those years, what felt like eons, ago but #He wasn't the man I knew, or maybe #He was and #He just grew a different shell than before.   I had never revealed my true form before, sure I mentioned I was the devil, I was fucking proud of myself and my work. Did people believe Me? Well, that was on them. I knew the people who stepped my path and deserved punishment did. Most arrested or put up in the Looney bin because who really would believe my face. It's why I never revealed my true form before to a loved one, because who would love a face like like mine. Who would truly love the devil.   Rolling my brownish hues I walked in the office, paperwork already being handed to me. It was always paperwork these days, and setting up clients. I tried to hand off most of my work lately because I was...

Nik had another thing coming when he did me dirty as he did. He didn’t know what was coming.      It was cold like tonight and rainy; maybe that’s why it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was about the time I had my humanity switch back on, but it was so hard dealing with feelings even with humanity off now it was hard. I was just a girl inside that never got to grow up and learn how to be loved or love. I was just a shadow to my own self and that’s the day I shut it off for good I couldn't take the uneasy feeling always wondering if I was good enough or if my family would come back I always had it in the back of my head that it was who I was and I didn't have to try hard. I was evil down right pure evil.   I sat back and took out a bottle I stuck away for just this time for I knew the hurt and pain would come back some time tonight, the blood the hate the rain all made me think.      #RememberingMyHumanity *It was a cold, rainy, late Friday Aft...

As the city lights grew around me I couldn’t help but realize I had come a long way from the darkness that consumed me. I did much of Dario’s bidding until I took hold of my own life and ran from the life he wanted. It wasn’t me, his darkness consumed him in ways where power was everything and more to him and to me it wasn’t about power but rather I was running from my own secrets and my past. I wanted to run into Lorenzo’s arms again but things were different. And coming to America had given me the chance to change. To be the person I needed to be for mankind. I closed my eyes and remembered that day, the sadness and humanity escaping my fingertips as Lorenzo’s faint image was like a figment of my own imagination. I was at my wits end. I was about to break again, and I felt it was the end as I knew it. It was a cold rainy Saturday Night. I had tried for days to get the old me back; I tried putting on a smile faking how I really felt. But Inside I was screaming and breaking, t...

  Present-       I could never forget the look in the boy’s eyes as I chose on the night a life of eternity, but it was my choice in the end. Every night I could see his eyes when I tried to sleep, if you could even call it that.   I could hear his heart beat fading as his limp body fell into my arms, the pictures I could never erase. And it wasn’t just his images flashing before me.     I wished these nightmares would just subside and turn its blind eye, but it was reminders of the darkest of days that brewed within my would be soul. I imagined if I had a soul I would be cursed and damned to all damnation, to the depths where I would foresee unforgettable torturous acts. Acts that I deserved.   As these dreams played over and over it was a constant solitude I had to endure to remember I wasn’t like normal humans, not even human at all. I often spent time watching, and yearning for the love and affection they had. Each human was di...

Months had passed. Liquor was the only thing that made me feel again. My family was gone. My life flashing before me. I should have been there. I should have protected them. That is why I had to protect the human race. To protect them from beings like me, from the hate like me, but I wasn’t always like this. When I was made, it changed me and who I was. Part of me saw good but part of me was a fight within myself, the darkness taking hold like it was like no other thing was more apparent. Darkness wanted out and to rip every heart to shreds but the calm of the darkness settling inside me was the little strength I needed to fight it. I remember like it was yesterday, the change and what it meant for me. What my father put me through and now; now what I put my family through ~Flashback~      The Year Was 1473 when everything changed. Whether it was for the good or the bad, my innocence was taken from me. My life washed away within the blink of an eye, my old lif...
