The shadows crawled on the wall as she stood looking out the window. Her life would be over soon. And this would be the last time she would be able to view anything. The sun setting, blood red over the sky, the insects floating around the aromatic flowers. Life passing her by and yet standing still all at the same time.
"I'm sorry" a voice said behind her.
She nodded. She understood the girl's reason for having to do this. She had resigned herself to her fate long ago. She was tired regardless. There was only one thing she wished to remain for and yet, the irony of the whole saw her give a wry smile. \
She turned towards the voice.
"I understand Rachel. You have to do this. There is no other choice."
Rachel's eyes teared up.
"But I don't want to" she said quietly in a broken voice.
Quinn turned around fully.
"Come here" She commanded.
Rachel ran up the steps to her beloved. They met in a hug and Quinn held her tightly.
"I love you" she whispered in her hair. "You can do this. One day we shall meet again."
Rachel just clutched her closer. Heart breaking in both girls.
" It is time" Quinn told her.
Quinn ambled down the stairs closely and placed herself on the sofa lying down fully. Rachel withdrew the dagger from her pocket and approached her.
"Lucy Quinn Fabray." she intoned. "You have been found guilty of killing humans. Your sentence is death. A creature like you shall not roam the earth. And in the name of the gods we are to banish you. What say you?"
Quinn sighed. "That I am tired and am ready to start my long journey. Also" here she turned to Rachel and gave her a little smile. "Also, I love you Rachel Barbara Berry and I will see you in the next world."
Finished she turned her head to the ceiling and waited for her punishment. She refused to look anymore at Rachel. Because she knew if she turned around one last time she would fight and she needed to pay for her sins. She closed her eyes and waited. Rachel lifted the dagger above her head. She paused looking once more at the face of the girl she loved before she plunged it into Quinn's heart.
She looked at Quinn and choked out "I'm sorry" before twisting the knife.
Quinn's entire being hunched forward then collapsed before she turned into dust. Rachel tumbled forward. Catching herself on the sofa, she started to cry. She didn't want to do it but it was her duty as a hunter. And as much as she loved Quinn she had no choice. There was no reconciling the two. And so she cried as she mourned her lost love.
