I Was Hoping She Would Notice but again Now When She Did... Im Tired

Lucian, let me tell you a secret. I came back from the future.

Before Lucian could even react, Celestia’s lips curled into a sly smile, her innocent demeanor faltering for just a moment. Her voice echoed in the silent room, her words laced with mischief.

"The truth ..." she began, her tone almost playful but carrying an eerie edge.

Then, her eyes glimmered melancholy and malevolence intertwined. An unsettling laugh escaped her lips, soft at first, then growing louder, more unrestrained, as though she had been holding it back for an eternity.

Suddenly, the world shifted.

Time stopped.

Everything around them froze, the vibrant colors of the world draining away until everything was left in dull, lifeless gray. The air itself seemed to halt, leaving an unnatural silence behind.

Celestia, as if expecting this moment, sprang to her feet with almost frenzied energy. Her lovely, doe-like eyes so warm and innocent moments ago transformed into something raw, untamed, and disturbingly real. The mask she had worn for so long had finally cracked.

She scanned the room, her gaze sweeping over the frozen figures of Lucian and everyone else. A wild grin stretched across her face, her laughter spilling out like water bursting through a dam.

"Fufufu... This is what freedom feels like," she whispered, her voice dripping with glee. "Who can stop me now? The world may think it’s clever, binding me with its silly restrictions, forbidding me from revealing my regression. But oh, how foolish it is to think someone like me wouldn’t find a loophole."

Her words echoed in the stillness, unrestrained and unrepentant, her laughter reverberating off the walls. She reveled in this moment, knowing that no one no soul could hear her now. Everyone was frozen in time, trapped in their last motions, like living statues. Everyone, except her.

The real Celestia.

Her true self.

As her laughter subsided into an unsettling hum, her eyes settled on Lucian. Her darling Lucian. Frozen in his seat, his features calm and serene, entirely oblivious to the predator standing before him.

Her breath hitched as she walked toward him, the sound of her heels against the floor echoing unnaturally in the void-like silence. She bent down slightly, leaning into his still figure, her face mere inches from his. Stay tuned for updates on empire

"Ah... How handsome my darling is," she murmured, her voice trembling with what could only be described as unhinged delight. Her fingers, trembling from excitement, reached out to brush against his cheek, her touch delicate, reverent, as though he were a masterpiece she dared not ruin.

"How can someone be so perfect?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, her fingers tracing the line of his jaw. "You’re like a piece of art crafted just for me."

A giggle bubbled up from her throat, sharp and erratic, as she pulled back slightly, moving behind him. Her hands gently folded the collar of his shirt upward, revealing a faint, barely noticeable bite mark on his neck.

Her grin widened.

"Ah, my naive darling," she said, her tone mocking yet affectionate. "You thought it was just a pesky mosquito that bit you, didn’t you? Fufufufu... How adorable."

Celestia’s laugh grew louder, unrestrained, echoing off the walls like a haunting melody. She leaned closer, her face hovering near the mark, her eyes half-lidded with obsession.

Lowering her head, she inhaled deeply, taking in his scent. Her cheeks flushed, her body shivering with exhilaration.

"Ahhh... What a smell. It’s intoxicating. Like my very own Adonis," she murmured, her voice dripping with lust and possessiveness.

Her lips parted as she lowered them to the faint bite mark she had left on his neck before, one he had never even realized was there. Extending her tongue, she ran it slowly over the mark, her eyes rolling back slightly as though savoring the taste of something forbidden.

"He’s mine," she whispered against his skin, her voice low and husky. "All mine."

Pulling back, she gazed at him with a mix of adoration and madness, her hand gently stroking his hair. Her laughter filled the frozen world again, wild and unrestrained, echoing endlessly in the stillness.

Celestia had broken free of the chains that bound her, revealing her obsession in its raw, terrifying glory. And in this colorless world where only she could move, her darling Lucian belonged entirely to her.

Pulling back slightly, Celestia twirled around the frozen room with a theatrical flourish. "Ah, what a lovely loophole! The world thinks it can stop me from telling you the truth? How adorable." Her laughter rang out again, high-pitched and unrestrained.

Her manic gaze snapped back to Lucian, her face softening for a moment into something disturbingly tender. "But you’ll understand one day, won’t you? You’ll see that no one else can love you the way I do."

She bent down behind him again, resting her chin lightly on his shoulder. "No one else knows you like I do. I’ve seen your pain, your sorrow… the depths of your broken heart. I’ll fix it, Lucian. I’ll fix you."

Her arms wrapped around his frozen frame, pulling him into a possessive embrace. The motionless figure didn’t resist, couldn’t resist, and Celestia took full advantage of it.

"I’ll make you mine, Lucian," she whispered into his ear. "No one else can have you. No one else deserves you. Only me."

Reveling in the Madness

Yes, of course, Celestia had exploited the time-stop restriction several times during her conversation with Lucian. The sheer absurdity and brilliance of the loophole were too enticing for her mischievous nature to ignore. It wasn’t just a tool-it was her playground, and every tick of frozen time became an opportunity to amuse herself, even if it came at Lucian’s oblivious expense.

The thought sent a sly grin spreading across her lips as she leaned back in her chair, her mind replaying the countless little pranks she’d pulled without him ever knowing. She covered her mouth with her hand, trying to stifle the laughter bubbling within her. If he ever found out... Celestia’s giggles broke free, her voice lilting with delight.

"Kufufu... oh, you should have seen his lost face back then!" she snickered, her shoulders trembling with mirth. The memory of Lucian’s bewildered expressions, completely clueless about the subtle changes she orchestrated, was simply too good. Her stomach hurt from laughing so much.
