《Monster of the Heart》


 1: Why?

    "I love you." why couldn''t Satin have said the words before.


    She wanted nothing more than to scream them at the top of her lungs.


    More so now than ever as she watched Tea gracefull trot down to the aliter.


    Tea, her stunning best friend, her short fluffy pastel green hair lined with roses that curled around her delicate ram horns.

    Her white dress, highlighting her gingerbread skin, blossoming into a train of vivid flowers that trailed along behind her.


    Tea had grown all the flowers herself in the year leading up to the happiest moment of her life.


    The worse moment of Satin''s life thus far.


    Satin''s guts flipped as she watched Tea reach her prize.


    Ribbon.


    Ribbon was the most elegant centaur Satin had ever met, she was perfect in every way.


    Her stunning blond hair curled in buns along her neck running down her long centaur body. Her dress stopping short of her braided tail that was still long enough to touch the floor.


    Satin took a breath, she wanted to cover her ears, to not hear the sweet words that were exchanged between the pair.


    She felt sick as the rings where revealed.


    Then placed.


    Then her life was over.


    They were married.


    "I love you," Satin whispered to herself as tears slowly ran down her cheeks.

 Hearts

    In this world, people are measured by hearts.


    No.


    Not like in a video game.


    They don''t have little heart matters above there head all the time, even if that would be super helpful.


    Everyone is born halfhearted.


    This means that there is another heart out there somewhere that will fit perfectly with yours.


    It''s such a romantic idea isn''t it?


    Everyone goes thought life looking for the perfect match.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    What happens if that perfect match dies?


    Don''t worry, there can be more then one person who fits with you.


    Sounds great right?


    Well, there''s a problem, hearts are kind of fickle, and they don''t really communicate with the brain very well.


    So sometimes people fall for someone that isn''t right for them.


    But still, because of the culture, they force their hearts to line up.


    Because of this bad things can happen.


    Like ending up with a broken heart.


    Or even worse, being a heartless.


    *


    Satin slumped against the wall, her centaur body pressing against the length of the wood door frame.


    She watched Tea and Ribbon dancing.


    The lights hitting them just right, each movement was long and slow as they waltzed in the center of the room.


    "I don''t think they''re so perfect for each other," Chanty said stepping up beside Satin. Her tall Kirin horn decorated for the festivities.


    "Of course you''d say that. You just want me to feel better." Satin smiled weakly still struggling to keep tears out of her eyes.


    "No, I''m staying that because it''s true." Chanty huffed.


    Satin rolled her eyes as the song came to an end.


    "You''re a pirate, what do you know about love?" She teased her friend.


    "Everything," Chanty sighed touching her palm to a long scar on her chest where her heart would have been.


    Satin grew quite.


    "I''m sorry." She whispered.


    "No your not, you can walk home your self tonight." Chanty huffed and pulled away.


    Satin stood alone the rest of the night, she did her best to smile.


    It was pointless.
