The Ally (Akiva & Madrigal- Enemy, Part 3)

Folder: 
2016

I don't see her slip away,

a flicker among clouds.

 

***

 

It tears me up to leave him.

Why?

 

***

 

My chest aches for her.

It shouldn't.

 

***

 

My heart pounds harder and

all I can think is

Would he have saved me?

 

***

 

She's different, she's a mist,

she's not a beast, she's a world.

 

***

 

My fingers burn from

touching him.

Madness or magic?

 

***

 

All I need is to

see her again

and I promise myself

I won't use the life

she's given me

to kill any more of her kin.

 

***

 

He is different.

 

***

 

She is different.

 

***

 

This is forbidden.

 

***

 

This is connection.

 

***

 

We are allies.

 

***


We are one.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Last part- this time starting with Akiva and switching back and forth between Akiva and Madrigal.  Seriously, if you ever get a chance to pick up Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, DO IT.  It is the best thing ever and beautiful and heartbreaking and amazing.
