Richard
"Huh?"
The words struck at his core like no other in his life. Richard clutched his face for a moment, letting those dagger-like words cut his frail ego in two. Nothing without his parents? Thats not true! It didn't matter how he got it, he still had it. At the end of the day, he had things others didn't, no matter how hard they tried. He couldn't be. Then, he looked up and saw it.
Lily's body had shown its true form, a dragon. "NO Lily please! I-" he begged. And just like that, the vision ended. In truth, she was overexplaining. He understood way before she had told him anything. In that moment, no amount of money could have saved him from her wrath, nor any plan he thought up.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he fell to the ground on all fours. Then, he looked up, making eye contact with those stocking filled legs. Those legs looked so good in that moment.
