One Blood:
Apocalypse
The End Series
By: Alexis Williams/Co-author: Gabrielle Chan
This was the same thing over again. Just like before but much, much worse - the fact that I understood and saw now. I guess it was true what they say, history does repeat. Never expect the unexpected, it's always worse than it seems.
What could you do?
I never thought the end would be like this. I always thought it would be different - immensely different.
But I just couldn't fathom it. Knowing that I was the one who could possibly stop it, I was the one who started it.
And I wasn't even aware, even when I knew; I didn't think it'd be like this….. This fast…it seemed like it should have been smaller….but it's like the beginning of the end instead.
The first war.
I didn't know what to say...or do; all I could do was watch and wait.
It almost got back to reality, watching Them, fighting and protecting; pangs of guilt and jealously hit me hard. They could control themselves....
It couldn't.
I stared at the creature in front of me. Its shocking eyes - final, and deadly; a predator, a killer. Its lips in a snarl and its hands curved like talons...waiting...waiting to pounce, to fight. But what I truly and deeply yearned for was not Him, it was the power, the strength, the familiar reminisce to hit it hard.
Its patience was suddenly worthwhile when the sky went black and the red shimmering shades hit everything.
It roared at the figure that appeared in the distance and the figure cackled.
"Ah, my prodigy," a taunting voice said, "Has returned to me once again. After all my troubles..."
It was strange. The monster was infuriated and enraged, but its lips that were in a hard snarl, were curled into a terrifying snarled smile.
I crushed the mirror in front of me and hoped that my sanity was all used up, because it was never coming back again.
