This is my very first fanfic, so please review and give your thoughts! :)
Just moments too late
The ritual had already begun
Hell was bleeding into earth
Standing on the tower above earth,
I just wanted to protect Dawn
She knew her death would end it
Close the gates of hell
She tried to jump to her death
and I could not let her
I had to protect Dawnie
I looked at the total chaos
This living hell on earth
And among the clouds, I see it
A little piece of Heaven
Shining through the darkness
And I remember everything
I know how to protect Dawnie
She is a part of me,
Same family, same blood
My blood could stop this hell
Death is my gift, my sacrifice
My way to protect Dawn
I look back at Dawn
And she knows what I must do
Not only is this the duty of the slayer,
But of the older sister, the protector
I say goodbye to my gift, my Dawn
I see her pain and her tears
But I promised to protect her
I give her one last kiss on the cheek
And one last smile before I turn away
I run to the edge of the tower
And I jump to my death, my gift
To protect my little Dawn
The pain is agonizing
I scream to no one
But my last thought
Before my death, before my peace
Is Dawn, who I love more than life
