I can't take it anymore. The weight of the pain, the burden of the children I've had to sacrifice. It's too much for me to bear. And you Wani... I miss you so much. I feel horrible for what Ive done to you. Every night, it haunts me, gnawing at the very core of my being. I dont know how to make things right. I dont know if I even can. But I have to try. I have to tell someone, anyone about this. I have to come clean. I need redemption.
Dashing down the halls, I was looking around everywhere, anywhere to find Oveeio. I looked all around the castle, but he was nowhere to be found, until I looked into the one corridor with his family photos all around. He was there, staring at them with his same straight face he always usually had on. I knew that if I went up to him, it was going to be a long talk, So I gulped down the remaining saliva in my throat and braced myself. I walked up to him, but before I could say anything, he spoke to me first without even looking at me. ,,Quite a nice night isnt it?,, My heart was pounding in my chest. I was terrified to reply back, but I knew I had to say something. ,,Y-yes! It's a very nice night. All quiet and soothing. But Oveeio I-,, I was immediately cut off to Oveeio replying back ,,you came here for? I could hear you rushing all around the halls...,,, he finally turned around, looking at me with a serious expression, as usual, of course. It always scared me when he looked at me like that but, Ive gotten used to it after all the years of working with him. ,,Ah yes! Sorry about that haha... I was looking for you actually. Can I have a moment with you for a bit if thats okay?,, Oveeio smiled and replied back ,,of course. What is it that you want to talk about?,, After he said those words, my mind went blank. I had no idea what to say back to him. It was like everything I planned to say and do turned into mush. I took a couple deep breaths, and looked away from Oveeio for a second. Then I finally got the courage to speak up once again ,,I-its about the children Oveeio. The people weve sacrificed and eaten. Dont you think this is wrong? Dont you think we should tell someone about this? I feel awful every night having to go to bed and think about what Ive done. Oh god I feel awful even having to think about it right now...,, I teared up mid sentence but tried to hide my tears by wiping my face. Oveeio stared at me for a couple seconds, not saying a word, but then he finally spoke up. ,,Poni, I understand the confusion you may be experiencing, both about yourself and your relationships with others... However, I want to reassure you that what youre doing is completely acceptable. What we are doing is aligned with a greater purpose. It is in accordance with Gods will, and the path the Lord desires for us. Do you understand, Poni? All of what were doing is okay-,, I cut Oveeio off for the first time. ,,NO ITS NOT OKAY,, I yelled while tears were dripping down my eyes ,DONT YOU SEE WHAT WEVE DONE???? DONT YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE WEVE KILLED??? THIS IS WRONG. ALL WRONG.,,, I gasped for air after yelling and took a second to regain my composure. Then I finally looked back up at Oveeio, wishing for him to understand anything, anything I said. For him to have some compassion. But there was nothing. He stood there with the same blank expression he always had on. Anger inside of me rose, and I couldnt take it anymore ,,I-Im leaving... Im leaving and telling the police about this... something needs to be done. Goodbye Oveeio,, I turned around with tears in my eyes, walking away, but was stopped by Oveeio grabbing me and pulling me into a hug. ,,Please dont leave me Poni. I need you with me...,, he said as he grabbed my face and pulled me into a kiss. I didnt understand where the affection was coming from. Hes never done this before. Was this all just for me to stay? Or did he really mean it? I didnt know but Ive never gotten this treatment before. Hes never done this to me, nor to anyone... I stood there for a couple of seconds, shocked and confused at what was going on. I knew Oveeio cared for me, but I didnt know to this extent. I didnt know he loved me... eventually I gave in. Responding to the kiss and kissing him back. We stayed like this for a couple of seconds, but finally After a bit, parted our lips. That night after the kiss, I slept with him. I didnt know how to feel nor why I did it. I dont even know why I stayed with him. But I knew Oveeio loved me. and I loved him too. I just didnt know he loved me like that. It made me feel special. Special that he loves me more than anyone else. I finally feel special.
