The Villain's Last Wish
I froze, thinking, 'Is this from the original Maddison? Did she just write to me?'
She continued writing.
[No matter what, my ending is death. If I don't die, Ashton won't be able to start his new life, so please kill yourself somewhere he won't know about it. This way, you can go home, and Ashton can start over.]
She wrote a lot more.
Only then did I realize she knew she was just a side character in a book who would die eventually. Even though I had changed her fate that day, the story's ending was something that could not be reversed.
