Mary Dreaming

Summary:

A doll begins to dream during her condemnation. But no one said that dreaming was easy. And yet, the doll will wake up once again.

Notes:

Hahahaha... the Death Mark fandom is going to kill me. Fair warning, I do ship Yashita regularly but I'm starving yall. Besides, Mary's like... half the size of Yashiki. It's cute. And I'm kinda becoming a sucker for doll/supernatural characters.

Chapter 1: Part 1: Asleep

Chapter Text

Do you know what it’s like to be stuck inside a box?

To stare up at the wood

Knowing that the lid will never lift

No matter how much you try to move your arms?

 

Do you know what it feels like to have a tumor in your stomach?

Something that leeches off your powers

Turns them to dust

And never gives them back?

 

Imagine how it would feel for that endless darkness to be lifted

To be free once again from that pain

When the tumor slowly died off

I felt so alive that the real darkness didn’t matter.

 

And then that lid was lifted off.

That man with long black hair

And wide eyes

Like a doll

 

I fell in love

 

But as a monster, it had to be a twisted love

Two sides cried out in me

The one that loved him so dearly for freeing me

And the one that wanted to kill him

 

A beast and a princess

 

In the end, the beast won out,

She spread her pain on the world

Like a fine buttercream frosting

That covered everything good underneath it

 

Masamune never saw much of the kindness underneath

Shattering pain and malice

My biggest regret was hurting him

I assumed that I needed to feed off of fear and terror

 

But dolls like me don’t really know what we are

I was freed in that one moment

And yet what happened was a disaster

Something that makes me a monster

 

He should have never lifted the lid of Pandora’s box.

 

And yet, my heart is so much fuller because of it.
