[nospaces] [attr="class","elisatest"] [attr="class","elisatestbody"] The gnashing teeth of the fiery maw behind them snapped shut with displeasure, only dragging one of the silhouettes upon the stairs back into the darkness.[break][break] So long as it is not me. So long as I am not the one who suffers, Elisabeth thought, and briefly despised herself for thinking.[break][break] A haze of grey enfolded them like the shroud of night, manifesting in a cleansing rain that extinguished the last of the flames into silence with hissing protest. In this murk that remained, Cillian Quinn vanished into the clouds of a lightless sky, and a haunting solitude replaced him.[break][break] Until that laugh.[break][break] It bellowed and roared around Elisabeth like thunder, harsh lightning illuminating a tall silhouette steeped in shadow. The coal-black of his eyes met her own, so alive in their piercing glare it took her aback for a moment, flinching with visible recoil.[break][break] And yet, after facing so many after-images of this ghost, the fear that had once paralyzed her in the Petalburg Woods with Felix Gallagher no longer remained.[break][break] Only an oppressive hate so powerful it threatened to suffocate her.[break][break] "Lisa."[break][break] He walked towards her with the nonchalance of a man who feared no one living -- a man who had died at her hands only to be revived, over and over, in the darkest corners of her mind. Enough to be convinced of his own immortality. Enough to be amused at her own lack thereof.[break][break] "The caged bird got the freedom she wanted, so I am told, in return for my death. I congratulate you on bartering with the devil so effectively."[break][break] The slow sarcasm of his applause punctuated the air as his stare held her fast, his expression cold as stone as he sneered down at her. For what was Elisabeth Fiorelli but a mere mortal, an insignificant insect now to a ghost like him?[break][break] "At least my cage kept you safe. At least I valued your life, despite how little you valued mine. At least I gave you no illusions about what little power you held."[break][break] He loomed over her with a terrifying smile, the deep tenor of his accusation cutting her to her very core as he whispered:[break][break] "Tell me, Poupette. Are the strings binding you that much longer, when it's declan walsh who dangles them?"[break][break] A scream strangled itself in her throat. Words became paper things, wet and useless on her tongue. Hands reached forward to claw into his flesh, only to lose purchase on wisps of cirrus that dissipated with mocking laughter.[break][break] "You made me into this," she snarled at the emptiness he'd left behind. "You don't get to judge me for who you've made me become. You don't have the right."[break][break] A deflection, not a true answer.[break][break] A retreat, in the face of fears she couldn't dare admit frightened her -- not to him.[break][break] Never to him.[break][break] Cillian Quinn[break][break] NOTES- HATE: Oh shit it's dead husbando Eddie.[break] - Resolve: 1, we livin' dangerously now.
