Chapter Text
I remember when you first spoke up against me. We were 16, just in our teenage years when I told you about a to-be accident, one that would take the life of a kid's parents, you were all for changing somebody's destiny. I was more on the side of not altering the plot of a story, this was my motto for, my job, my one role, the rule I had followed my entire life.
”It’s for character development!” Nars yells at her, his voice egging for her to leave the story be. Something that he hasn’t even mentioned to Marcelline, what would he even say; ‘Hi there, do you know that we are in a crime thriller story and you are a barely mentionable character and I’m a third person narrator? Yeah right, like she wouldn’t kick his ass and transport him through the fourth wall.’
“He’s a kid!! He doesn’t need character development!” She yells back clearly having enough of his shit.
He remembers more, chuckling at the memory shaking his head as he re-adjusts his pen hand slightly shaking.
But you were a rule breaker and you looked me dead in the eyes that day, red rimmed and teary, “I will not, be the one who knows something bad is about to happen and not do anything about it. If you want you can be that role whenever you feel like it, but just so you know I will NEVER let myself speak to you again, so choose. Your conscience or your stupid rules.” I gave in I guess this was when I should have noticed your presence and your hidden power. You swayed me, like a palm tree in the midst of a raging angry storm. This was when I should have put a distance between you and I, smacked myself in the head and say to my heart, ‘Haven’t you seen this kind of behaviour before and who does this behaviour usually represent?” I should have asked so many many many questions. But I didn’t cause I was struck by you and your tenacity.
We saved that kid and his parents and you ruined your reputation. You became known as the young lady who talks to thin air and is somehow able to perfectly prophesy future happenstances. People stopped trusting you, and instead of blaming me, you blamed yourself. Marcelline you absolute wonderful idiot.
This was also when I began to realise that I Love You…
