Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"The womb...you, were born here?!" Barbara shouted in horror. Even though she had a premonition from those words, she still couldn't accept the affirmation from the other party, "You're kidding! I Never heard of someone making a human before!"

"Then you know now that my father is a genius or a lunatic." Max said without any pride on his face, "In principle, I need you to keep this matter a secret, but you No more need."

By the time Barbara understood what Max meant, she had already been pushed onto the stone platform by Max, and there was no need to even make a sound, and a strong rope directly entangled Barbara in circles. Pulling her hands and feet, imprisoning her on the stone platform, but Max didn't seem to want to gag her: "Max, what are you doing!" Barbara looked at Max uneasily, but found that the one who had always been The person who reassured her watched her with a deadpan face.

"It's amazing. I've actually dealt with many magical creatures, and I'm also familiar with the state of dying creatures, but this is the first time I've done this to humans. You don't have to shake so hard, Barbara, you are different from those prey Yes." She seemed to have turned back to the gentle and considerate lover before, and slowly stroked her hair with her hand, and the smile hung back again.

"Then why did you tie me up, I'm uncomfortable like this, Max, let me go!" Barbara couldn't even control herself to draw the escape rune, she was still a novice and couldn't do it Get out immediately in a life-threatening situation.

"I'm sorry to make you feel uneasy." Max apologized, "It's just that I've always wanted to try this way. From the perspective of a bystander, the person lying on it is really small." Although she apologized, But he didn't intend to let go of Barbara at all.

"I found that if I am here, it is easier for me to perceive subtle changes in mood. Is this also because of the connection between us?" Max leaned against the stone platform, "But my emotions are a little out of control, which is very bad Yes, I even want to tell... you want to hear a story about the birth of a monster?"

She didn't intend to actually ask Barbara for advice: "When I woke up from here, I already had my own consciousness and thinking ability, but I couldn't speak because I hadn't tried it yet. I straightened up, and my father Standing on the side, he looked at me like I looked at you, and said, 'Can you dress yourself?'" Max closed his eyes and recalled, "I can't speak, but I can understand him. Speak, and also understand what he means by 'wear' and 'clothes', maybe because I have his blood and wisdom in me? So you can understand when I try to speak and do it after a split second, even then It's just an 'um', is there any horror in my heart?"

"Although I can understand it, I still can't understand something deeper. I don't even know who I am, so I have to walk on the ground. Not to mention that my father doesn't even give me any attention. He heard me answer Then he pointed to the clothes on one side and left directly. All I can remember is those cold eyes, which are exactly the same as mine..." Max's fingers climbed up to Barbara's eyes, "You said you liked me Eyes, Barbara. But I hate, my father's eyes, I feel uncomfortable every time I look in the mirror, if I can choose myself-Professor Dumbledore's is very good, that vast, peaceful Blue, I've always liked his eyes."

Barbara's trembling actually stopped. She was only subconsciously afraid of Max's abnormal behavior before, but she already had a high affection for Max, and she even gradually developed a kind of pity with Max's narration Feelings.

"You are not a monster."

"No, I am," Max said. "I can't explain my dirty origins to anyone. I was born different from everyone else. I was different from the beginning. I was alone. I understand, learn I am faster than anyone else, I am better than anyone, and I have never made a mistake. So I don’t understand you, obviously there are monsters hidden in my heart, but I am always bound by morality or love, and I can do whatever I want Now, why do you have to be patient and restrained? Just like Meg, she automatically chose to distance herself. Wouldn’t it be better to grab what you want?”

"I told you about Florence, didn't I?" Barbara blinked, she couldn't move freely, "Yeah, you mentioned it to me, it was your pet when you were a child, but it passed away gone."

"Yeah, it died. But I haven't said how it died yet," Max said. "I strangled him." Her tone was flat, maybe a little satisfied, but definitely not sorry.

"Huh? Why!" Barbara was shocked, "You told me you liked it."

"Yes, I really like it. Although it is troublesome to take care of it, it does make me feel good. That kind of warm feeling should be called liking."

"So I strangled it so it was mine alone and I didn't have to worry about it leaving me."

Max's speed of speech sped up slightly, and he seemed a little anxious: "But I also quickly understood that this is not acceptable, because your rules think it is a distortion, even if it is that kind of boring rule, if I want to survive here I still have to pretend... But I still feel more and more empty, obviously everything in this world doesn't matter to me, and the hole in my chest is still not enough, so I must have found something... Barbara, Can you give me this thing?"

Barbara's mind was in turmoil, and she suddenly regretted it. If only she had half the information processing ability of Max, there was nothing she could do about being an idiot at a time like this, but even if she was an idiot , I can also feel the weirdness in Max's words.

"Are you asking me for help, Max?"

"Help? Of course not, I've already figured out all the joints. But it's normal for you to think wildly, because I really talked too much this time, you may not be able to understand..."

"No, I understand," Barbara said. "You're conflicted. Is everything about you really a disguise? I can't tell what's wrong, and even if I were a fool, I couldn't possibly like a completely fake one." Man, don't you want to confide in me here, you're miserable and lonely. Do you think I'll leave you by saying all this? I don't care if you're a freak! I like...  I love you, Max!"

"You, love me?" Max began to think about something.

Barbara tilted her face to the side in a desperate effort, but when Max pinched her jaw and forced her to look at him, she said, "Yeah."

"Even if I'm a monster?"

"You're not a monster..." she muttered, but said honestly, "Yeah."

"Even if I kill you?" Max looked at her grimly. "You know everything now, and you know how Florence ended. You gave me so many happy memories. I like you very much, Barb La, so I want to kill you."

Barbara's chest rose and fell rapidly, her face was pale, and the fear of death gripped her heart tightly, screaming "Don't! Don't!" Especially she knew that Max was not just talking, because from her Barbara could tell from the look in her eyes that this was no joke.

"Of course you can give up, Barbara. It's not that you have no choice, and I can let you survive, but I will give you a forgetfulness, so that everything is over." Max's words seemed to have A deadly scent, the sweet scent of a dead end.

Who would want to die so meaninglessly!Run away, I still want to live.Reason told her so, and it was the correct decision that no one would ever condemn her.

Max didn't speak, just quietly waiting for Barbara to make her own decision. In the entire stone room, only Barbara's heavy panting and trembling echoed around.

"...Okay, I am willing." Barbara closed her eyes, relieved, "Even if you kill me...I am willing."

"This is so strange, why would you want to? Death is a horrible thing for ordinary people." Max frowned, her breathing became heavy, and she felt that she was only one step away from success Alright, since the girl in front of me agreed to this request...

"Because I love you, I accept it. Even this life, I am willing to give it to you."

"Great, I have one last request. If it were you, the hole in my heart would definitely be filled."

Looking forward to, eager to, longing for.She finally saw her own light during the long journey, and that was the answer she came up with after racking her brains. If it was Barbara, it would definitely bring her salvation.Max kissed Barbara's lips and said with a smile.

"Kill me."

"Huh?" Barbara opened her eyes wide, "What did you just... say?"

"Barbara, kill me and own me. I figured it out. Just loving is not enough. If I don't own each other with the same and equal attitude, the hole in my heart will never be filled... ..."

"Did you say it was 'love'?"

"That's right." Barbara's face became very ugly.

"I don't want it!" she cried out, tears running down her cheeks, "absolutely not!"

"...Why?" Barbara's voice was still echoing in the closed stone room, but they suddenly fell into a terrible silence. After a long time, Max asked softly, with the sound of shattering foam.

But she wasn't asking Barbara what she thought, but she was in her own thoughts: "Will you accept my love, but not give me equal love? I can give you one more chance, Barbara La, don't let me down..."

"No, I won't change my decision, Max." Barbara watched the situation slowly slide in an unpredictable direction, but this time she should never compromise, "I'd rather let you kill me, So I will never kill you."

"I love you, Max. But because of this, I... you're wrong, Max, stop, we're still there, I'll be there for you..."

"You say I'm wrong?" Max said oppressively, "When I killed Florence, my heart finally felt full, swollen and painful like never before. Knowing what love is, do you deny it? Deny that I maintain my roots, and think I'm wrong?"

Barbara felt a sudden, vague contortion of her figure, and she suddenly remembered that if Max rejected her, she would be ejected from her mental world.They both need each other to calm down first, and Max's emotions are obviously out of control, but she doesn't know if it's because she endured it for too long, or if they made a mistake when connecting.But anyway, it's too dangerous to stay here.

When they returned to the real world and calmed down, she must explain clearly to Max, hug her, and tell her her thoughts, so that Max realized that he had actually made a big mistake.She vowed that she would never let Max feel lonely again, and she would love her for the rest of her life.

But she was too good at hiding her joy, Max was keenly aware of what was about to happen, and sneered: "It makes sense, you actually just want to escape, and you don't want to say it directly, so you deliberately said something to provoke anger My word—if that's the case, then I've changed my mind too, and I won't let you escape, Barbara."
