The POV is going to switch alot, my apologies.
Slight Tw (Gross description of saliva and blood)
...
"How are you so quiet and polite about it?"
I looked over at the familiar boy, a confused look on my face; he looked exactly like mother, except for his eyes. Darkish skin that reminded me of warm sunsets, dark hair that was soft and fluffy, honey brown eyes that looked distrusting if you didn't know them well enough
"Your sadness I mean, how do you hold it in your chest, in your eyes, in your teeth without letting it speak; How do you make it stay silent, so it doesn't hurt people?"
Hadin never really understood how I felt, he couldn't read me like he could read the rest of our family. But he tried to understand me, it had to count for something.
My eyes moved to the sunset, the cliff we sat on was our spot, my voice was quiet and weak. "You think it'll ever get better?"
"Maybe. Mom changed us into something we weren't but remember, no matter what she tells you, you aren't a monster." Dante responded, his hand ruffling my hair.
"But hey, let's look on the bright side, at least you got something cool. Curse of the Serpent." Hadin always tried to cheer me up after what our mother had done to me, she'd done it to all of us, so he had a slight understanding of my pain. He didn't quite understand how to read me, but he tried his best, that should've been a good thing, but it infuriated me that he tried so hard. I sighed and Hadin's smile seemed to fall. "You're so quiet and brave I always forget you're suffering."
I looked at his wings, my eyes tracing the shape. Hadin's wings were a greyish color, but he'd stained certain feathers in colors of blue and purple.
"Ya know, I'll teach you how to fly better one day, alright? Pinkie promise." Hadin held out his pinky in my direction, my eyes flickered from his pinky to his face. I nodded, a small smile growing on my face as I held out my pinky. "Okay."
"But you need to promise me something." Hadin's tone had gotten much more serious, my eyes flickered to him. His face had started to blur, and I realized this hadn't been a break from those horrible visions.
"You need to remember that you are the greatest weapon in your arsenal." The voices were overlapping each other, all speaking over each other and trying to get the message to me.
Atreus POV
The sight of teeth and nails sunk into the elves' throat, her teeth were sharp, sharper than I'd ever seen them.
The elf seemed frozen in place, the sound of tearing flesh and a mass amount of blood splattering on my face is what snapped me out of it. I wrestled my arm from the elf, picking up my bow and drawing back an arrow in the elf's direction
But I realized she'd already killed it; blood covered her face around her mouth. Y/n had a darker look in her eyes as she stood there, heaving. Blood dripped onto the floor, it covered her front and hands
I watched as she spit out a sizeable chunk of flesh. It splatted on the ground with wet slap. I was frozen as she started to run at me, I just stared not knowing what else to do other than to freeze
