Harley's Story, New Chapter
11 years ago
One thing you have to ask yourself about a character you have created is how far will they go? What is their "Point of no return" if you will, that line they will never cross for fear of becoming a "monster"? Where do they draw the line on what they will and wont do for revenge, love, what ever have you. For my character, Harley, she has crossed that line, and this lil tidbit will be showing now just how far she will go, and how easily she does so.
Point of no Return
Once you cross a certain point, there is no returning to how you were before it. For me, that line was while I was first held captive for centuries by humans. I had helped them, If not for me humanity would have died, but those in power didn't care. They saw that they had a new weapon, something to use to conquer the galaxy. Eventually I did escape the facility though, I dealt with the scientists there and went after the one in charge. The one person who was in charge of it all, who was profiting from my suffering.
I was in a mood. Nothing was going to stop me. I found them, Another thought shattered as I discovered it was a woman, surprise surprise. I was starting to learn a lot about humanity during my long life. No one is immune to being evil, being knowingly cruel. I studied her, she knew who I was, what I had done, remarked on it and even said that was the reason behind everything she had done to me. This woman was gifted with long life, after studying the regeneration from me, and then destroyed all research related too it.
So this woman has been alive the whole time I was in captivity, reviewing the films of my torture, even going there in person and conducting some of it herself, mainly weapons testing, knowing completely what I had done for humanity, she was one of the former generals I even helped. Yet she let greed for power take over. I struck the first blow to her company. Cutting the roots, her connections to other businesses, corporate sabotage and even stopping her government funding, making sure there was no way for her to get out as her corporation crumbles on top of her.
Now left with no corporation, no power, no money, still having the love of her life and her children. But even with her corporation gone, a comfy but stressful life, and loving wife. Until the videos arrived. Oh the videos. Recordings of her orders, of her over seeing not just cruel experimentation on me, but other humans, other people, animals, ect. She had done this over the centuries of life she had because of me. The wife was not happy finding these, let alone her children watching them and left her.
Left barely scraping by, mocked and reminded of her failure every day for a year or so, her company failing was a rather big deal. I was not content with the wife just saying "fuck you I'm leaving with the kids." No no, corporate bitch still loved her, still...visited on occasion because of the kids. Then one day, just before she was about to go visit after they were to return from vacation, another video. She sat and watched it.
I had taken the wife and kids, had them watch the videos, the records, of her cruelty. I said nothing and just let it sink in and listened as she called out, cursing and forsaking her wife, telling the children what a cruel monster she was. And then it started. First one child, then the other, both tortured, broken, left gasping for air. All while the mother watched, and while corporate bitch watched as well, transfixed and mildly hypnotized and unable to look away. The mother screaming, cursing and forsaking the former lover, blaring that it's all her fault before I turned to her and did the same. And then the video ended.
She attempted to take her life. It didn't work, mysteriously. More attempts were made, constantly trying to kill herself. But what she had done to herself? Her regeneration? It let me in. I was in her. I kept her alive. She would not die as long as I willed it. I let her suffer, reminding her day after day, torturing her with pain on other days, reminding her of what she had, how it had been degraded, how she had destroyed it with her actions, and then one day I simply left. She was broken, left to rot in her prison of a mind.
If anyone ends on my shit list, I do not fuck around. I go for friends and family, even your pets. You will watch them all suffer, hear them beg, and hear them curse your very existence as they learn the truth of what you have done. You will be exposed as a monster, you will be left with no one, with nothing and you will be reminded of it. It will haunt you constantly, their screams, their hateful words, and you will be left to suffer through them until the day you die, and I will personally make sure you live as long as possible.
Everyone has a point of no return, and once you cross over it...it just seems so easy. That point, the moral line you've drawn for how far you will not go, once you cross it, those actions and even the ones further beyond it are so easy to do. I've already passed mine, I have no regrets about making your family suffer for your actions. No guilt, no suffering of my own. Do I feel...justified? No. But I will do anything and everything to make someone suffer, I torture and kill children if I have too, if the option presents itself, what ever will sink that knife deeper so when I twist it...you're left howling in pain. No problems doing it. I will murder your children, I will twist your life, dragging you to the pits and bleeding you slowly, yet never letting death take you until I let it. You. Will. Suffer.
