Am...Am I The Bad One? Gamora/(Male,Demon)Reader It's Okay To Move On From Monsters Pt. 2
(Told From Your Point Of View)
I was created to trick people into sacrificing themselves to my “mother”(Quill's term, not mine).
She's a demon...of sorts, and needs people to pledge themselves to her or one of her creations before taking their own life to devour their souls and life force.
As you can imagine, it's not really easy to get people to see their souls to the devil.
Getting them to kill themselves is the easy part.
I was...content...with this life until she wanted a Zehoberei.
The race is...a little harder to convince than your average Terrin.
I decided instead of going to their planet I'd find a straggler.
Too bad their's only one...
Gamora...
Daughter of Thanos...
Thanos' actions reach even the “Other Side”(once again, not my term for it, but whatever).
I tried to get close to her, to convince her that life had no meaning for her...
But she tried to cut off my head...
And her sister stabbed me a few times...
And I can't quite remember which, but one of them kicked me repeatedly.
Luckily my physical form is more or less replaceable.
"You're a stupid, stupid man if you think I want to sacrifice myself to you or your master," Gamora warned.
"Bold of you to assume she gives me a choice."
I'm not technically allowed to return until I have Gamora or another Zehoberei's pledge.
So I'm stuck following Gamora around.
She's “killed” me once or twice, but, like I said, my physical form is replaceable.
Lucky me she hasn't found a Terrin who knows it's way around the “holy water” and “Bible”, or I would be gone for good.
When she defected from Thanos to the Guardians we were at an understanding;
She's not allowed to die by anyone besides her own hands, and I stop trying to convince her to pledge to me.
Aka I'm stupid and don't want to go home, and she gets herself a bodyguard on a technicality.
Over time she stops being hostile towards me, and I start to understand her unwillingness to pledge.
She's never had a choice, not when she was taken from her home, not when she was trained to kill, not when she was pitted in fights against her own sister, not when she stole or killed or anything.
I understand in a way.
I was created as a means to get fed, I was never loved, or cared about, I was formed and then sent away, to get pledges. To take lives from damaged and scared individuals.
Lucky me my “mother” can't get to me, or anyone else, not being weak like she is, not without me doing my job.
Overtime I've grown attached to Gamora, and while I'm not saying I'm in love, or even know what love is, I will say I'll protect her anyway I can.
...
Even though that's similar to a bug saying it's going to protect a cat...
Not likely.
