Eternal Void – Chapter 1, By sprinklescake67
Scarlet streams,Broken dreams,
This is an angel's story.
Innocence.
Pure innocence.
Tender heart,
Whiter than snow.
Eternities waiting
In an instant is gone,
As the littlest angel
Surrenders her soul.
Screaming, cursing, beating, murdering, lying, betraying, controlling, abusing, owning, dying
It's life,It's death,
It's existence.
Need, want, believe, defy, survive, accept, forgive, resent, abandon, imagine, refuse, surrender
Nobody sees,
Nobody knows,
Nobody cares.
Why? Why did any of this happen? How could it have come to this? What did I do wrong?
You're something,
You're everything,
You're nothing.
Screaming, screaming, echoing through my mind...
I didn't do it! It wasn't my fault! I didn't want this! I didn't ask for this!
Pain...everywhere, everything, it's so loud, just so... so loud... just want it to stop... make it stop!
Torture, torture...
Endless pain in empty eyes.
Only a shell; a living dead.
Such beauty lost after never found,
Such sadness spawned in lies.
Screaming, screaming...
Yet not a sound in the air,
Pale spectre present but never seen.
Ghostly child alone for never and eternity,
Plenty to want but not to care.
Beyond the sunset
Another year is dawning,
Another day is rising,
A whole new world is born.
And silence reigns over the purgatory plain...

Cosmos stood on the edge of a cliff, staring down at the destruction below her.
'It's my fault. This is my entire fault.'
The gaps in the earth yawned up at her, ready to swallow anyone foolish enough to travel across the plain. Debris lay where it had fallen, discarded and of no use anymore. Skeletal remains scattered about told of the gruesome battle that took place upon the soiled planet. The tears began to flow unchecked from her eyes; splashing down her cheeks toward the dry ground.
'I failed them. I failed to uphold my responsibility.'
For the first time since she became the protector of the universe, Cosmos dropped her transformation by touching the locket in the middle of her outfit. The flurry of feathers finally disappeared, leaving behind a battered and bruised schoolgirls in her shredded sailor-like school uniform. Unable to tear her gaze away from the site before her, she attempted to back away from the ghastly picture before her.
The clicking of a gun behind her snapped her out of the trance. Whirling around, she came face to face with a group of five, teenage boys. Their seemed to be more figures further down the incline; Cosmos could not discern the figures but could make out a picnic basket in the arms of one. The five in front of her were looking at her with indifferent expressions.
The one on the far left side seemed to make a sudden move in her direction but was held back by the Chinese one. The blonde in the middle was turning a small shade of red for some unknown reason. Behind him another tall boy stood, but one could only see one of his emerald green eyes; the rest hidden behind a front of bangs. Toward the right side of this group, a Prussian-eyed teen had a gun trained on her still figure.
They glowed with unbearable pain; each aura attacking Cosmos' soul in a desperate plea to be saved. The tears began anew; the pain was just too unbearable. She was blinded by the suffering emitted from such people. 'They should be innocents!' her mind screamed, 'They should not have had to partake in any of this...this bloodshed.'
"It's my entire fault. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed, done my job, take the responsibility entrusted to me. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It's my fault, all my fault."
She knew she was babbling but it could not be helped. She was supposed to protect those who could not protect themselves. So warped in her thoughts, she was oblivious to her surroundings. She never noticed the blond making a move toward her until warm hands enveloped ice cold ones clutching her head. Distant mumbling reached her ears, but barely anything was making sense. One question did finally penetrate the deep fog of her brain. Her name? What was her name? Breathing one word, she finally allowed the darkness to claim her for its own.
"Serenity..."
