Ophelia stiffened, her heart pounding rapidly against her chest in a way that it hurt. It had to hurt. The being in front of her gave her warmth just by his words and actions, warmth that she had never imagined she would feel. Having been trained as a weapon of murder and destruction, Ophelia had become accustomed to the reality that those around her will always be distant. And that included her twin brother.
She was seen as a monster, used, exploited and had done things that were haunting her terribly. Things she was unable to control. Her life had always been chaotic, she had become numb to it and had not shed a tear in three centuries. No matter how hurt she was, how much pain she felt, Ophelia refused to cry. Tears solved nothing.
His words struck her and kept repeating over and over. Their proximity was something that she was beginning to cherish as it calmed her down. His words... Those words... They were so sincere.. They were too good to be true.
