Yeah, so the 30 Days About Me meme. While I am my favorite topic, I find the daily prompts uninspiring. I think I'll bail on this one, and go back to my table for [livejournal.com profile] 100_fairytales. Yesterday's was about what I eat. Today is what do I think of love. BORING

So back to our regularly scheduled fic and snark.

30 Day About Me
◾ Tags:
thewatchmaker: (Kid Gabriel)
Her name was Emily, Emily Elizabeth Lombardi, and I loved her with my heart and soul. I was 8 years old, and I got so mad whenever anyone called her Eel. It wasn’t her fault she had unfortunate initials.

We were in the 3rd grade at St. Joseph’s School, and I would watch her every single day when she arrived at school walking with her older brother who was in the 6th grade. He was huge, and he glared at anyone that he caught looking at his little sister.

She had long dark hair. It was cut perfectly straight like a curtain of melting chocolate down her back, and her bangs didn’t quite touch her glasses. I talked to her the first time when her glasses were dirty, and she couldn’t find a tissue to wipe them. I always had tissues with me, mom never let me leave the house without them, so I gave her one.

My stomach filled with butterflies when she said, “Thank you”.

She didn’t say, “Thank you, Gabriel.” But that was OK. She didn’t need to know my name to make me smile. At least she didn’t laugh at me when I stepped away, so she could get in the door, and stumbled like her friends did.

I was pretty sure she liked me too. Emily Elizabeth never laughed at me. I cried for a week when her family moved to Florida.

My name is Sylar.

It hasn’t always been that. For most of my previous life, I was Gabriel Gray. Gabriel was a watchmaker like his father before him and his father before that. Gabriel was brilliant. He was good in school. He was good at puzzles and math. He knew how things worked, but his mother was a clinging vine who wouldn’t let him escape her clutches.

He had a scholarship to one of the best universities, but she threatened to kill herself if he left her. He gave up his dreams, settling into the business and learned to do what his father had done. It wasn’t that he didn’t like the work. It was interesting. Some of the clocks were masterpieces, and it was a joy to make them run properly.

But Gabriel knew there was more.

He wanted to be special.

Chandra Suresh walked into the shop one day, and he dangled the biggest, brightest carrot in front of Gabriel’s nose. It was made of solid gold, and Gabriel bit into it. It tasted like honey and the promise of escape, the promise of a potential that had been denied him for so many years.

I was born of that promise and potential. Gabriel wanted, but he didn’t want enough to take. I did. I took, and I took and I took again, filling myself with power, and making me more than anyone else could be.

I’ve killed and been killed. Tortured and been tortured. Destroyed and been destroyed. But I always come back. I will always come back.

There are parts of Gabriel Gray still inside of me, but I keep him in check. His decisions tend to be sloppy, and they’ve fucked us up more times than I care to list. Going to Danko after meeting our real father comes to mind. Calling up our dead mother’s visage to wallow in guilt and insanity was another.

I am above such things.

I am Sylar.
