Showing feelings

Gareth didn't know what to say at all. It wasn't at all because he couldn't agree with Ceridens words, but because he found it hard to express his true feelings.

A little hesitantly, still looking down, he slowly started talking "I.. I don't know if I really hate anything or anyone... Hate is such a strong word, but.. there definitely are things and people whom I dislike. I don't like the people who judge anyone simply because of their race. After all, nobody has ever had the chance to choose here or what they are born as.". He then paused a little before continuing “But.. having said that, I don’t blame others for hating a creature like me... Everything about my lifestyle is revolting and it scares people. I understand that.. and I wish I could change, but I can’t… If only others would see that as well and at least just leave me alone, then that would be enough for me…”.

He let out a small sigh. It didn’t make anything better to talk about it so he decided to try and change the subject. "I don't like slavers.. in fact, they might be some of the few that I actually hate. People who kidnap, make you their property and beat you until you no longer dare to try and escape. Then they sell you to someone who continues to beat you until you no longer even dare to speak your mind or show your feelings. Until you become nothing more than another part of their property, no worthier than a simple guard dog.”. As he spoke he could feel the anger rise within. He hadn’t dared to say anything like this ever before, but now, having done so, all the feelings and memories he had suppressed for all these years started to stir. Frowning he clenched his fists so hard that his nails pierced his skin and a little blood started flowing from the palms of his hands, but he didn’t really notice the pain.

It took him a few moments before he started to calm down again. Only now he noticed the wounds in is hands, but almost as soon as he noticed them they were healed. He sighed “That’s about it I think…”.
