Her story.

Destined to fall
angel2.jpg
Please beware, this chapter contains description of violence, blood and character death.
 

It ended the same way it began.

All of their memories flashed through her eyes. Of their love. Of all times.

Firstly, she saw them when they accidently touched for the first time.  And now when she is dying. At the beginning and in the end. Like always.

Sometimes it happened on a hospital bed, her crinkled hand in his forever soft ones, her smile telling a never ending tale of goodbyes and hellos. Sometimes she dreamt about it and the next day she didn’t wake up. Sometimes he wasn’t beside her: when it didn’t happened because of old age but an accident. Like now.

In the wrong place. At the wrong time. Her crimson blood splattered on the wooden floor. Gasping for air, pleading for a little more time. But someone who loved the evil as much as she did wasn’t even worthy of mercy. She knew that he would blame himself for not being able to protect her but who could? Nobody expected bloodshed at an exhibition. Not even the Hell’s ruler could predict something like this.

For someone who remembers dozens of her own deaths, she wasn’t ready to already face a new one. Only a few months after she found him again or rather he found her. He was never as selfless as the protagonists of romantic movies to tell her to find someone else. He never wanted to push her away or played hard to get. He wanted her too much and eventually they were pulled closed by an unknown magnetizing power. However, sometimes she got the feeling that he prolonged their meeting on purpose. Sometimes he avoided touching her for so long so that they could get to know each other all over again. But sometimes he kissed her right away like he missed her like hell. He probably did. And the moment their lips touched, she also remembered every wasted moment and she never wanted anything more than to cherish it. Him. The love of her whole existence: every past, present and future lives. The man of her dreams. Her angel. Her always.

In this life, she called him Taehyung.

His name sounded like a prayer on her pale, sinner lips and the whole world became blurry. Maybe it’s better this way. Taehyung wouldn’t have wanted her to see the destruction he left on the place. The revenge he took on the terrified guy who pulled the trigger. People like him who feared God’s wrath clearly didn’t experience his. It was a mess, an artistic chaos made out of love and hate.

The silence was cold in the museum and she started shivering in the bath of her own blood. With her last breathes she asked for him, some of his embracing warmth.   

“Shh… baby, don’t talk. The ambulance is on its way,” he shushed her holding her hand tightly and cursed because he couldn’t do anything to save her. Despite having so much power, he wasn’t almighty. He looked so helpless with tears glimmering in his eyes that it broke her heart.

“I’m tired,” she whispered untangling their hands and touched his cheeks with bloody fingertips. She left her trace on his unearthly features which made him look a little more humane. From this angle, him above her, he always looked beautiful, even when his face crumbled in grief.

“No, please… Please don’t leave me. Not yet,” he begged but she knew it was in vain. She couldn’t even feel pain anymore and with a forced smile she wiped away the tears that were straining his handsome face.

“Don’t worry. We will meet in my next life,” she promised in a quiet, shaky voice but still confidently. “In which I’ll love you even more.”

The last thing she saw was his coal black eyes that hold the whole starry universe. One of the things that made her fall in love. For her, the pitch darkness wasn’t scary and his heart hidden behind dozens of locks wasn’t ugly. The scars on his back were never the sign of disgrace but bravery and proof of his adoration. If loving him was a sin, she would never make confessions because regret had no part in this equation. Just him and her forever in love.

And the circle started all over again.

 


I still can't believe that Destined to fall won the drabble contest! Personally, I fell in love with this whole fallen angel au and I was so hyped up, after a while it didn't felt complete without the girl's pov. So let's consider this as a thank you sequel for everyone who enjoyed my drabble! ♥

Chapter 2: WOW!!! :O That was all I could muster after reading the continuation of the story because it was just... wow! ^^
It was exceptionally good and I wouldn't think that you could write something even better than His story but Her story was a masterpiece as well. *-* Even by itself, it was so catchy, emotional and beautifully-written, I seriously saw the whole thing in front of my eyes. It was like a movie playing in my head, I could picture the exhibition, Taehyung holding her in his arms and praying for her to be alive just for another second. It must have been terrifying and sorrowful for both of them to endure that she had to die again and again, in order to be with him.
I just loved the whole idea, the whole setting and again, you did something that no one had done before! Thank you for sharing it with us and congratulations on winning the contest! I know you could do it! ;)
Thank you and take care! <3

Chapter 2: Darling,
What a perfection! I loved every single word of it and the whole chapter was even more loveable than the previous one. When Tae couldn't save her despite his power the only thing I could think was: well... how sad that the resuscitation is God's privilige. :'( Thank you for writting this masterpiece. You're amazing as always and congratulation for the first place <3 this whole thing deserves this *o*
Love you xx

I don't know if you did this intentionally or by accident but I really like how the title could mean two things! "Destined to fall" as in Taehyung falling literally from heaven or fall as in Taehyung falling in love with the girl). It's really neat and clever and I'm a er for good titles!
The piece is short but you were really able to create a vivid and colourful world within such a short amount of words. And you didn't just tell us about Taehyung's past, you also explained why he chose the path that he did. It makes Taehyung's character a lot richer and more relatable (despite being the devil).
You know what parts to emphasize and I feel there is not a wasted sentence within the drabble. And that is not easy to do. I was looking for a lasting impression and you really nailed that down.
I also feel like the whole piece was very poetic in a sense and the imagery was done very well. Some of my favourite parts: "He had to watch her wither again and again and a part of him died with her every time", "Like moths were drawn to flame even though it burnt them, she was pulled closer to him by a magnet stronger than gravity", "Nobody loved devil better than her" and "her whisper was a soothing cure for all his torment."
All in all, thank you for the great read! :)
