SPIRAL OF TRUTH | RETURN

[MirrorEdge]

Thea could only stare in shock, the leopard stopping in her tracks as a familiar form stood in front of her. A form that shouldn't be there. No. No. Yet, the panic and relief that shot through her, both strong feelings causing her to flinch, as if she was in actual pain, as she limped forward a few steps, as if to confirm this was who it was. "You were dead." Wow, way to be blunt. Go cause the guy to have a heart attack, and explain how the hell you managed to kill a guy twice, now, will you? "I saw you. That was too much blood for anybody to survive losing. So how?" Correction: she hadn't just seen him, it had been her claws that ripped his throat open.

If this had been a week ago, she would've sprung for the male, kill him again and make sure this time, he wouldn't come back. Not to cover up her crime, but to make sure her beliefs stayed strong. Now? She could only look, wondering when he would rat her out. Like she deserved. She didn't deserve to be allowed to stay here. Hell, she didn't deserve to be living after what she had done. Not just to Roy. To so many people.

He was back, somehow, and Thea was too conflicted with all these new emotions to do anything. Should she be begging for forgiveness? Killing him? Running?

How strong are your beliefs?

The question she had asked him that short time ago came to mind, and now? She didn't even have an answer to that anymore. The thing she had killed him over. He hadn't even died for a good cause. He had died because of her mistakes. Even if he was back, it still wasn't alright. Before, she just would've assumed everything would be fine, not a care in the world.

Now? She couldn't forgive herself, and she closed her eyes, waiting for Roy to say the inevitable.

Murderer. Liar. Monster. Anything along those lines.
