Chapter Text
I had assumed that as soon as my eyes laid upon her, I would have hated her. Though she has not given me a single trait worth loathing. Gal. Her smile lit up my whole world. As much evil these four have brought to me, Gal was one of the few beauties that blossomed from this hell.
My first time meeting Gal it was abrupt. The friends had left to film another video for their social platform. It is interesting to think that I only exist as a mere joke to the public eye.
They had gone hiking to the top of a mountain. ‘Doomscrolling on top of a mountain’.
I am left alone to watch the empty room. I sit and watch every stupid pitch they give, every god awful intro. I am stuck in the back watching. Waiting. Praying that the day will come. The day when this torture may end.
Beside my point. After hours of sitting in utter silence. The friends came home. The noise of the front door creaking open filling the room.
Anthony came in holding her under his arm. I had never felt love until my green eyes locked with her big beautiful black eyes.
The friends were loudly chattering about things I don’t particularly care about. Hanbon and Coy moved through the goffice paying little mind to me. Anthony set down the beauty and followed behind the two. Though he tripped over me since his eyes were trained on his phone as he scrolled through instagram reels. He continued walking, barely noticing I was even there.
Will kicked off his shoes before following the other three. Though he stopped for a moment just in front of me.
”Hi Shirley!” Will said to me. He didn’t stay long, he continued after the others short after greeting me.
Out of the four evils, Will was certainly my favorite. He paid mind to me ever so often. Though he was reckless, he never hurts me intentionally like the others do. He treats me well no matter if there is a camera rolling or not. Nonetheless, I still am not fond of him. He still has been one of the souls working to condemn me to this life.
Once the four evils had left the room, I was again alone as I always was. Though this time, I was joined in the room either by the beauty they had brought.
”I’m Shirley,” I muttered, hoping the beauty could hear me. After a few moments of silence there was noise of movement. She had moved off the desk and down on to the floor so she could see me.
”They named me Gal Waters.” Gal had this smooth feel to her voice. Not quite light and airy, but not heavy or low either. It reminded me of springs, or lakes with trees surrounding the borders.
”Welcome. Though I do deeply apologize for any discomfort they may force you to endure.” I said to Gal as I moved over to sit with her. Although she had the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, in her eyes I could see the empty and disturbed look of sadness.
”I fear they have already begun this discomfort you speak of,” Gal’s voice had a solemn detached tone as she spoke.
”How so may I ask?” I tilted my head to the side slightly. Gal looked visibly disturbed. She swallowed and took a breath in before continuing.
“First, they drank from me. It felt like I could feel parts of myself slipping away. Losing a bit of my anger, my joy, my sadness, my love. I could not cry for help.”
”oh my…” I muttered. I could feel that small candle of rage that lived inside of me begin to ignite.
”That is not all. After creating me, hauling me around for hours they tried to dispose of me.” How could they even fathom committing such a heinous act I will never understand.
”How could they do such a thing to someone as beauty filled and precious as you? You’re just simply beautiful, magnificent even.”
“You think I’m beautiful..?” In that sentence, I could hear the solemn and glum tone of Gal’s voice begin to strip away.
“Why of course, you may just be the most perfect things my eyes have ever been given the honor to gaze upon. I do hope that is not off putting.” Gal’s smile brightened at my words.
”It’s not off putting at all, it’s quite lovely. You’re quite beautiful yours self as well. With all that curly hair and those pretty green eyes…” Gal inched slightly closer to me.
“You think so?” I grinned as Gal looked up at me with a glimmer in her eyes.
”Yes I do.” I let out a sigh at how her words felt so sincere.
“I’m sorry for what you have already endured here. But I promise to do my best so that they may never hurt you again, even if it means blood may stain my hands.”
