Warning: Vetro is the villain so his thoughts and behaviors will not align with a person of positive moral character in the slightest. I tried to not go into detail on everything he's done but if you're triggered easily this chapter is skippable.
(Vetro's POV)
I didn't want to do it.
Ever since I can remember multiple voices rang in my head, echoing my desires even when I tried to ignore them. Because of these voices, I longed for my mother and hated my father. I envied their relationship. Each time I saw them embrace or kiss I was consumed with rage... jealousy, and when I told my brother about it, hoping for some help he just said,
"That's not normal. There's something wrong with you." That's when he stopped being my confidant and left me alone with my thoughts. It only made me feel worse and the intensity of my emotions heightened.
When all my siblings went to Earth to find a spouse, I went with them and I ran through multiple human women, but they were all so easily obtained and none were anywhere near as beautiful as my mother, so eventually... it became more fun for me to end their life as soon as I was done with them. This routine kept my intrusive thoughts away and allowed me to remain civil with my family. I assisted in the end of hundreds of lives, but I didn't feel guilty, there are billions of humans left, and this barely made a dent in their population. There's no reason to pity them.
20 years later Tana was born. She was different than my other sisters, who looked like a combination of both our parents, she was almost an exact copy of our mom. Even her demeanor reminded me of Mother so I couldn't help but dote on this little sister. I stopped traveling to Earth and instead spent my days teaching her and listening to her ramble about whatever popped into her head. It felt so rewarding, to see her grow up and have her rely on me. For a while, I was able to forget my true desires.
"You're 51 now, don't you think it's time you settle down?" My brother Finn commented. I shrugged and continued to ignore him, practicing my calligraphy instead. "What you told me before... about mother. Do you still feel that way?" His question made me pause in my movements to ask,
"What did I say exactly?"
"You said... that you get annoyed when you see our Dad with our Mom... and asked if I also had the desire to force her down and have my way with her... that you'd turn her into your slave if she rejects being your lover." I laughed under my breath and then continued writing,
"What? I said that to you?... Odd." It's weird that I used to trust someone enough to be so open with them.
"I only ask because... you've been spending so much time with our sister. It's worrisome. I don't want you to hurt her." That's when I threw my pen at him with so much force it cut through his body and penetrated the wall.
"Mind your f**king business." I threatened, staring him down. I had pierced his lung so he was having trouble speaking and stumbled out of the room to recover. It was 2 days later when Tana warned me about our siblings plotting against us. Out of all of them, I'm the one who spent the most time with her, mentored her, and held her if she ever needed to cry. Of course, she'd trust and respect me over those fools. I wanted to ease Mother's defenses down more but looks like I'm short on time so if I'm going to persuade her I need to do it now. Finn was waiting near our parent's home to stop me. He created a fireball so massive it eclipsed the sun and sent it spiraling my way. In retaliation I created a pyramid of crystal around my body and flung myself forward, straight into the fire and coming out in front of my assailant, then cutting his body in half with the pyramid before releasing myself. That way he'd have no time to recover. I opened up a hole in the earth that swallowed his body, to conceal what just happened before knocking on my parent's door. Kris, my father, answered.
"Hey V, I heard a lot of noise just now. What was all that?" I shrugged and gave him a smile,
"I don't know." I hate this stupid piece of s*** why would Mother waste her time on him, when I look just like him but I'm genetically better, because unlike him I was never a disgusting human, I'm truly a part of her. Younger, stronger, and superior in every way. "Can I speak to Mom, is she home?" I asked, walking past him into the house and never making eye contact.
"Yeah, she's here, in the back. I'll take you to her."
"No!" I put my hand over my face and tried to recompose myself after noticing how perturbed my outburst made him. "It's a surprise for you and the others so I wanted to talk to her alone," I added. Father perked up at the word surprise and started beaming,
"What's the occasion?!" He asked,
"Love... I just... want to show you all how much I love you." He laughed then and said,
"Okay then I'll get out, I'd be too tempted to eavesdrop if I stayed here." He replied cheerily and rushed out the door. My facade dropped as soon as he was gone and I rubbed my face to ease it from the pain of forcing myself to smile so much, then I made my way to where Angel was. She was only in her robe and underwear, painting. This was normal for her and explained why she didn't notice me entering the room.
"Hi Angel," She jumped at the sound of my voice then spun in her swivel stool to look at me,
"Oh! My eldest!" She screamed, floating across the room to embrace me, "I wasn't expecting you!"
"This was a... spur-of-the-moment decision," I informed her and she kissed both my cheeks, making me laugh and filling my heart with butterflies but also filling my head with thoughts... that I knew she'd never approve of.
"I'm sorry, I should wash up and get dressed."
"Why? It's just us and you look fine." I assured her, bringing her in for another hug and savoring our closeness.
"So did you need anything or did you just miss me?" She teased, hugging me back. I let her go and looked into her eyes.
"I... have to talk to you about something, it's going to sound crazy at first but please hear me out." She tied her robe closed and nodded, taking a seat on her stool and then aimlessly spinning around. "I am the perfect match for you. As far as looks and talent go, you'd lose nothing by choosing me. I can protect you, I can create more promising offspring with you... you..." I noticed her face distorting into confusion so I tried to explain myself more clearly, "You had to share your power with Father just so he could stand near the level of power that you have naturally. I was born from you so I can stand as your equal from the beginning. He's given you me, so now you don't need him anymore. a human like that could never fully understand you, no matter how much power you've given him, he's still just a human." I was grinning despite myself because of how relieved I felt to finally have vented how I felt but then Mom started shaking her head and mumbling
"no." over and over.
"WHY NOT?!" I didn't want to scream but I lost my temper and she raised her voice back at me saying,
"Get out." I walked towards her with my hands up, attempting to make peace but then she stood to her feet and repeated herself in a louder voice so I embraced her and tried kissing her, to convey my feelings better that way. She struggled against me so I held her tighter and even though she bit me she couldn't pierce my skin and the pain she caused was tolerable enough that wasn't deterred. That's when I was struck from behind by my father who returned. I fell over and looked up at him. He had coated both his fists in a thick sheet of ice and was standing up to defend her. Mom was probably strong enough to defeat me on her own without him but resisted using her powers because she didn't want to accidentally kill me. I saw that as a sign that I had a chance so to help sway her mind, I copied him, instead covering my fists in tempered glass and fighting father. I mirrored the techniques he taught me, but when the ice on his fists shattered and his body crumbled at my feet it was obvious that the student surpassed the master. "Stop it!" Angel shouted, casting a blinding light around us that destroyed the house but somehow left me unscathed. She picked up her dead husband and started flying away so I followed her and yelled,
"You see I'm right! Why are you being so stubborn about this?! I'm the better option! It's a fact!" Due to my yelling and Mother's attack my other siblings caught on to what was going on and interfered with our fight. I was eventually worn out and overpowered so they sent me down to Earth. Tana had stood up for me so when I was banished, she was sent away too. It was better than being alone but I was still bitter about how hard-headed my mother was. I was also disappointed by how Tana's face was ruined. I helped her bandage up and hide her scars but she was still only at a fraction of her once beautiful self.
I didn't want to do it.
I can rationally think that Tana relies on me and sees in a better light than she should. I'm all she has... Her injuries helped me to resist her for some time but day by day it became harder. Especially since she insisted on being so kind and understanding towards me. She took care of me in every possible way outside of sex so... I was irritated, thinking about our banishment and, once again, she rationalized my feelings and tried to comfort me so I locked myself in my room and tried to push away my urges alone, but while I was in the midst of that she knocked on my door, attempting to cheer me up. The healthy side of her face looked so pure and sweet... that I snapped, causing that same face to distort in pain and plead for mercy from me moments later. She looked and sounded so much like mother I couldn't stop, so I put my hand on her cheek, holding her face on its side so I could only see the desirable portion as I continued having my way with her for 5 Days straight. I had no idea I was such a sadist until I felt how much her tears excited me. At first, I hoped that once would be enough for me, but being with her was addictive and it only became harder to deny myself as time went on. It's not like I was a virgin, but no other feelings compared to what I felt when I was with her. Instead of worrying about hurting her or trying to hold myself back, I became consumed by the thought that she would try to leave me, and living without her was something I couldn't stand imagining so... I tried replacing her with human women, to spare her some of the brunt of my feelings but they weren't enough. I spared her from seeing most of my violent actions and began doting on her when she behaved well. Eventually, I even amassed a harem on Afaria, but no one compared to her so I still couldn't stay away. I knew her resentment towards me was growing. I'm not a fool and no one knows her better than I do, no one knows her tolerance levels like I do, or her capacity for love and forgiveness. I kept adding more and more women, over thousands of years, hoping that I could find one to quench this blackhole of lust burning inside me, but only Tana came close to that... so I know that the only true cure is having Angel at my side... alive or dead, it's her choice. That's the only way both me and my sister can be free.
