Summary: Sylar makes peace with his victims, but one will never let him go.




In his mind, this purgatory, Sylar confronted his demons, apologizing to his victims for all his sins.

Yet, there was one who would never forgive him. She haunted him, and some nights he'd find her asleep next to him, moaning and curling a warm arm around him.

Then, she would rake her nails across his chest - bloody - as he screamed.

"You killed me," and he could never repent enough. She would never believe him, and he would never let her go.

This was his penance for killing the woman he loved, keeping her forever carved inside his heart.

I would have loved to seen stuff like this explored in his Narnia brain world. The imagery was very vivid and lively. I love it.

Thank you!

I agree. We just didn't see enough of what went on in his mind, not enough for Sylar's repentance to be wholly believable.

Awesome :)

She would never believe him, and he would never let her go.

and maybe he never apologize to her because then she would disappear as the others?

(I'm loving all this Sylar lalaland fics :)

I'm glad you interpreted it that way cuz I wanted to infer that in there, but some stuff got cut off with the 100 word mark.

I love the potential we have for episodes like "The Wall". You can portray a lot of Sylar-soul-searching.

I really love the imagery you have here - the part with her clawing her nails across his chest and leaving a trail? LOVE. Great job!
