Liana held her best friend close, her limp body not responding to her touch.
This is all my fault… Liana thought, tears welling up in her eyes. They were in trouble, as always, but not from starvation or thirst, they were above a pit of acid. Lydia had taken everything from her. She had Alexa nearly murder herself, just
to get at Melody. Melody, what was happening to her? Did she reveal the key? She wouldn't, not after all she had gone through to keep it safe.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Alexa." She whispered weakly. The light green eyes didn't blink or react, they were just staring at the sky. "Why did I ever leave?! I'm so sorry…" She suddenly heard a tiny bark and looked up. A tiny white puppy was above them,
on a higher platform.
"Lilly?" Liana called, for it was Alexa's pet. The puppy was holding something in its mouth. It was a necklace. It had thin string wrapped around a pearl heart. Liana gasped, "That's Alexa's necklace… We were both wearing them when Lydia couldn't
mesmerize us."
She stood and called, "Drop, Lilly! It's okay!"
The puppy gave a tiny whimper but still dropped the necklace from its mouth. Liana caught it and put it around Alexa's neck. "Please let this work…" Liana prayed. She grabbed Alexa's hand and whispered what they had together, so, so long ago… "Best
/friends, today, tomorrow, and always!"
Liana stared down at Alexa, hoping, wishing. But… nothing happened. Liana whispered it again, and again. The girl said it over and over, more desperate each time, and when she was done, she sobbed it through tears, voice nearly gone, clutching
Alexa's hand, "Alexa! Alexa, don't leave! Melody's in trouble… Alexa… please… please! Get up!" Liana sobbed. She lay her head down upon Alexa's still body, sobbing. She started to weakly sing softly. "If I could wish for one thing… I'd take the smile
/that you… bring." Liana clenched her teeth as tears streamed down. "Wherever you go in this world, I'll come along. Together we dream the same dream… F-Forever I'm here for you… you're here for me… Oh whoa… two voices…" Liana wrenched out a sob, crying
/for what felt like forever, not having the strength to finish what Alexa always could help her with.
Should I continuethis? Let me know, because I have a story planned, but must see what people think!
