Chapter 196: Heroine Chapter: My Possum [1/2]
Chapter POV: Robyn Lithgow
___
"He was also too dependent. When we broke up, he kept begging me to stay. I endured his toxicity for years. I lost respect for him when he did nothing but cling to me. What could someone like that ever accomplish? I was so glad to be rid of him."
Was this slagger crazy? Did we really know the same person? The wombat? Clingy?
"Follow me or die."
"Fuck off, you cunt!"
"Then die."
The wombat was anything but clingy, I saw him shoot down anything he considered an enemy.
All he cared about was whether you were useful or not. The Sirens were battle-hardened Shielas, so I could understand why he kept us around.
And toxic? What the hell does that even mean? And this slagger lost respect because the wombat clung to her?
'Ugh, I feel like I turned stupid listening to this cunt.'
Why would you even feel that way? This fuckstick had the wombat all to herself! How stupid can she be?! Finally get rid of him? What could he achieve?
The wombat was beyond powerful. Anyone who would bite a man's neck just because he could was no weakling.
And the Wombat treated me with nothing but respect. Who would fight a Revenant for someone like me?
How could this fuckwit say she was tired of it?
'I want to kill her…'
People this stupid should be buried underground. I wonder if I could do it in secret? Bella kept saying that we couldn't touch her. Jas was in a very bad mood because of that.
Even Jo exuded a bloodlust that made me shiver. Oh? Why was the slagger suddenly on the floor? I looked up and felt a heavy pressure in the air. This was — killing intent?
"Goodness, she might really die at this rate," Lilly then said with a sigh.
I looked at the others and it seemed like everyone here wanted to tear the bitch limb from limb. Lilly waved her hand and suddenly the pressure disappeared.
'Somehow I feel good seeing the others like this. I wasn't weird. Hehe.'
Karo or something was lying on the ground choking. Her eyes began to look hollow as her face began to turn purple.
Just then something moved faster than my eyes could follow. I saw Lilly appear in front of Karo, her greatsword out. The one with her was Josephine, her knife was blocked by the princess.
Jo seemed strange, she was no longer smiling. She seemed to radiate a green energy that felt dangerous.
The princess pushed the European back with her sword. Jo did her acrobatics again and darted to strike the dying woman once more. Lilly made a quick parry before sending a powerful kick to drive Josephine away.
"Jo, back off. I already said he would hate you for this."
"I'll beg for Darling's forgiveness later. Come on Lilly, you felt it right? Let's gut her and hang her on a tree. It will feel really good, I promise."
'Somehow, I wanted to try what Jo said. Am I bad for thinking that?'
A loud bang erupted, and a speeding bullet raced to kill Karo. A small portal opened along its path and the bullet suddenly disappeared after entering it.
Less than a second later, I felt Jasmine jump back before a sudden impact shattered the very floor tile she was standing on.
"Really, I expected better from you, Jasmine. Liv, please help me."
Liv then walked over to Karo and kicked her in the face with enough force to send her in a coma.
"Hmph. Know that if I could, I would split this vile sow in two as well."
"I know, sweetheart. But you and I know better. If dear doesn't forgive these two after they kill her, these two sisters might commit suicide."
"Indeed. Well, what now?" replied Liv.
"Bella, get Caroline out of here please. I can't stop them if that piece of garbage is still around."
"Tsk, why do you think I will help you princess?"
"I see, never mind then. Robyn sweetheart, what about you?"
"Me?" I replied confused.
"Yes, right now the Sirens are discussing whether we should kill this girl or not."
Huh? This was discussing? I thought discussions meant a lot of earbashing.
"Robyn, right now Jo and Jas want to kill her, Lilly and Liv want to take her alive. I don't care either way, so that leaves you.
"If you join the sisters, Liv and Lilly cannot stop you. But if you join Lilly's group, the sisters can't kill her even if they wanted to," Bella explained.
"So it's up to me?"
"Robyn, sweetheart. John will be sad if you kill this woman. I am sure of it. So help us protect her, at least for now."
Would the wombat really be sad? Hadn't they broken up already? I don't know much about love, but I've seen guys cry and get drunk when they lost their girlfriends. I didn't want the wombat to be like that.
"Robyn, Lilly is lying. You love darling, don't you? Doesn't it bother you that she made him cry? Jas and I saw what darling looked like after that bitch messed him up. That is the same reason why Bella is not on Lilly's side."
'I love the wombat?'
I wanted to see him, but did that mean I loved him?
'What does love even mean?'
What I was sure of was that I didn't like to see the wombat hurt.
When he smiled during our call, I felt butterflies in my stomach.
When I saw him crying over the dead Indians, my heart felt like it was being torn into a thousand pieces.
'Ah, I want to see him.'
I wanted to be with him, but what if he didn't? Should I beg? I can be really quiet. Would that be enough? He doesn't even have to feed me. I can hunt on my own.
'I just… I just wanted to be able to see him.'
But would he allow it?
The nuns at the orphanage said that every papa needs a mama. Could I be the wombat's mate? I wasn't pretty or sexy, and besides, beautiful people like the Sirens wanted him.
My chest was small compared to theirs and I looked like an ankle biter. I couldn't cook or clean or take care of the house. But...
'I want him to look at me. Only me.'
All I could offer him was that I was very good at killing people.
'Monster.'
The people I killed called me that all the time. They all screamed in horror and disgust. Even the terrorists left me alone outside of missions.
