Chapter Text
The magic filling the air and raining down the silent crowd just below the darken brown stage. Admist in the silence a voice rang out echoing through the bright scenery of day.
"Boo!"
The insult rang out, artful looked up at the civilian who booed him getting slapped in the face by a half eaten banana and smearing the makeup of his face and tripping over on other peels that hit his body like a faint but mental punch. He held his arm over his face taking the peels like a shield and holding his wand pressed down against the floor, boos gathered together like a symphony and thuds of banana peels smacking against his body or hitting the dark red curtians of his stage. The sounds of the booing and the banana peels falling to the ground gradually decreased and only a silence rang out interrupted by civilians sneezing or coughing and a few giggles here and there.
Artful kept his position sitting down on the floor as he carefully rearranged his suit and tie fixing his hat and flicking off a banana peel from his shoulder. The wand held in his gloves glistened with magic a large white spherical orb fading into reality as Artful gripped it with his free hand and held it out for everyone, dropping the heavy ball in it shattered on the floor dusting the area with white and white flashing everyone's vision causing gasps and groans to come from them. Artful jumped off the stage and directly onto one of the blinded civilians, his wand mutating at the white end to form a sharp ball of little spikes, raising the ball up high in the air slamming it back against the civilians skull with a loud crunch and sputter of blood on his suit and the grass around the corpse. By now the civilians vision came back to normal standing still and witnessing the horrific sight of the magician striking against one of their peers skull, artful wasted no time standing up tall and throwing the weapon around hitting the civilians with raged focused hitting their backs and slicing their skin and clothes dropping like flies and coughing up blood taking in the last of their breaths. In the between his rampage, he struck the only kid who enjoyed his shows, the kid who he loved dearly and helped out willing. Her body fell to the ground pooling with blood after artful hit her harshly on the head by accident. Artful stood in the center of the grass scent with blood and tears of those who cried for mercy. Even after seeing the dozens of bodies around him he felt no guilt, no second thoughts about his future, no regret, but his worry hit him in full force as he realized the severity he could get hit with either going to prison or faced with the death penalty for killing a huge crowd of people, in his thoughts a particular person came in his thoughts and erased all worry to replace it with fear and a delusional thought. He looked around frantically shoving his wand inside his sleeve as he kicked bodies aside and called out for his number one fan.
"Lizzy?, mon cher?"
He called out, voice cracking in dread as no response came from anyone but his own pants. Thats when he saw it, her figure laying on the grass face first and unmoving.
"LIZZY!"
He rushed towards her body, tripping on his own shoes as he fell onto his knees and picked her up carefully looking at the damage he caused in his own fit of rage. The blood dripping from her face staining his gloves with the gaping wound of her head clear as day ached his heart as tears streamed down his face.
"Please mon cher.. you're everything to me, you two are my world, i can't leave you in the dark.. you're afraid of it right? You always stayed near me in nights."
He breathed out, voice high pitching at the end as he recalled a time where she cuddled up next to him after a show, her older sister sarah resting her head on his shoulder watching the sun droop down. Tears streamed down his face mixing in with his makeup and exposing his tan brown skin pressing lizzys body close to his chest sobbing in her shoulder feeling her skin grow colder and clammy.
"What have i done?.."
"i-i killed you.."
"what will sarah do without you by her side now?.."
