Chapter 280: Something Wrong?
"You wanted me?" I asked, my voice breaking as my emotions wreaked havoc in my mind. "I mean, you wanted children?"
"It was the only thing I had ever wanted," snarled V, looking more like a rabid animal than a human at the moment. "It was my greatest desire and my only wish... and that fucker knew. When he wounded me, he stole a part of me, and you were born. You are chaos from my chaos, like a part of my heart living outside of my body... and I had no idea!"
I opened my mouth but closed it quickly again. I had no idea what to say. I’m sorry I was ripped from you? I would have loved a relationship with a father figure that didn’t involve rape and beatings? I wish you would have come sooner and rescued me?
It seemed like no matter what would have come out of my mouth, it would get it wrong, so I simply kept my mouth shut.
"I’m sorry," sighed V. He slumped into the couch like a puppet with his strings cut. "It wasn’t until there was a weakness between the realms that I woke up. And even then, I didn’t bother to really leave the Void. I didn’t think that there was anything for me out here."
"So what made you come?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. If I understood it right, there had been more than four years since Hell was destroyed, and the demon seeds slipped through the realms.
"I felt you," breathed V, his eyes lighting up like I was some sort of miracle. "I felt you, and you called to me. How could I not come when you call?"
I gulped at that idea, but everything inside of me was screaming that he was telling the truth.
"But enough about me," began V, waving his hand in the air before putting on a bright smile. "Tell me all about you!"
