Starlights In The Shadow

by RamenSisters

Ok....first things first....this IS NOT A TWILIGHT STORY! Arabelle Michaels was as normal as a girl of her power could be...controlling water and ice and all that...then her world completely changed when she, her brother, and their friends met them...

I could hear the screaming, the shouting, and the yelling of orders.

I could smell the fires burning, the scent of blood, and the smell of rotting flesh.

I could taste a burning sensation in my throat, the rusty, metallic taste of blood, my blood, and so many others on my lips.

I could feel his hand in my own, the way my feet ran, the way my legs jumped over the dead corpses, and the way my heart ripped and tore itself to shreds when I saw them.

I saw them grab him and pull him away from me, saw him fighting them, trying to get back to me, saw the way his lips moved as he screamed my name, over and over again.

Ara, Ara, Ara, Ara. Then I saw them bring out their guns and point them at his heart. His one weakness, his one weak spot.

Everything seemed to slow. First I noticed Nova running towards me, screaming. Second, I saw the woman I hated most in this world and the next, Mckaela, start her gun move her finger towards the trigger. Third, I saw Zach mouth the three words I hadn't heard him say since this stupid war started, I love you. Then, I heard a 'bang', a yell of pain, and my own scream.

The last thing I remember that I saw was Zach's blood, his broken body, and Mckaela, eyes wide, yellow, and taunting, laughing. Then everything went black.
