237 Damian's Punishment

Scar pouts the hardest she can, trying to not cry in front of him. But despite her effort, wronged tears spouting out of her eyes.

She wants to, but she couldn't utter any of these out. In front of her is a man she has met less than ten minutes. While she knows he is her big brother, he is a big unknown to her. Not to mention all the times that she has met him were horrible or worse.

"I'm sorry, little one. I know, I came too late. I'm really, really sorry..." Not urging anything out of her, Damian just pulls her into his arms, locking her tighter as she struggles until she finally gives in and bursts into tears.

At that moment she just wants nothing but to cry out. To gush out all the darkness that has been corrupting her from inside, all the unuttered miss and love held in her heart for Emma, and all the wronged feelings she ever buried in her chest.

She cries so hard that she squeezes out all the air in her lungs, and as she gasps for air her eyes already go dark. Symptoms of her episodes, but Scar is not afraid this time, because unlike her episodes, crying seems to have cleansed darkness instead of gathered more of that poison inside her. She hasn't cried so freely for so long. In fact, she couldn't remember if she ever had.
