I’ve been hearing a lot of smack talk lately, a lot of rumours that I’ve been running tail from that Kane broad. Dredging up old relics in the past that could seemingly hurt me but what you punturas don’t get is why would I run from something that don’t mean jack shit? You think Zeus is gonna give a rats ass about some insider trading when he’s got Tombstone’s boot up his ass?
Nah that bint ain’t got nothing on me and I’ll never hide from my past. So I’m not running for me.
I’m doing it for her.
I’ve got a weakness for women, can’t count how many kids I got running around and honestly, I gave barely a shit about any of them but she was different. A perfect creation I didn’t deserve to have a hand in making, an innocent angel who would’ve fallen around a piece of shit like me so I did the only thing any sane father would do.
I sent her away and watched her from afar.
Watched my little girl grow up into a beautiful woman, watched her skills blossom and even as that scum Aarman abused and manipulated her, she still stayed true to who she was. A woman who wanted to know everything and use it to make Arcadia better.
And then the Red Light District exploded.
I remember scrambling through the wreckage for what felt like hours and even more trying to bring air back into her lungs. The relief when she coughed and sunk into my arms and outwardly, I was crying because she was finally safe but do you want to know what my first thought when I knew she was alive Aurora?
‘I can now use her too’
She is my pride and joy and I love her with all my heart but I know one day she’ll be just a tool for me to use up and throw aside.
And you remind me so much of her Aurora. A vibrant young headstrong woman who keeps her convictions no matter what she loses. Who will fight any adversity. Who will rise up to do what she thinks is right.
Another lamb for the slaughter.
Monsters like Six Feet Under make their presence known through fear and malice, monsters like me hide behind the smiles and the love until you beg for me to use every last drop of you.
I love my family Aurora but if I had the chance, I’d sacrifice every single one of them for an ounce of power. So even though I keep running, I hide away, kill another identity, the moment she calls, I’ll always be there. Because the monster in me who needs her is stronger then the father who needs to keep her safe.
So run little girl, run far far away from the things that go bump in the night and smile in the sunshine.
Because in that ring, it won’t be just business, it’ll be all about the Family as you become the next daughter my monster destroys.
