"Be careful..." I whisper to the half-demon as I hide in the brush aiming for the enemy with my rifle.
He nods to me, his finger on the trigger of his pistol, before dashing a few feet away, plastering himself to a large oak.
I narrow my gaze, hoping the rest of my crew are in their positions.
They'd better be!
I think to myself bitterly, knowing if they aren't this battle will be lost.
I hear a rustling in the trees and I look to where the noise came, pointing my gun up in caution.
Something drops onto the forest floor near me and I narrow my gaze, but I let out a gasp getting to my feet swiftly as I realize what it is
"Ciel-" I don't have the chance to warn him as the bomb detonates, sending me flying back. My body hits one of the many trees, causing me to slump to the ground in a heap.
My back aches and the pain in my left arm is unbearable. I shake my head to clear it of the dizziness and search for Ciel, but all I can see is a dark motionless shape several feet away.
Flames lick at the nearby trees, spreading over the ground, however slowly. I feel darkness creep up on me without warning and I rest my head on ground just before blacking out.
