A/N: nobody writes for Before Crisis on this site. Here's something I wrote that is vaguely Sears(Shears)/Elfe. I don't know much about the game, but I love these two so much.

Sparks

I am dying. We all are. But I am dying faster than the rest of you.

That's alright, though. I expected this.

It was only a matter of time before this happened. Before I would sit in this darkness, too tired to open my eyes, but too weak to close them.

My friends…One has deserted me. The other has betrayed me. One is a Crow. The other, a Demon. The Crow deserted me.

I'm in love with the Crow.

He left to save me. So he said. He wants to stop the Demon. The Demon wants to kill me.

The Demon..Fuhito... is winning.

But, as I sleep, when my eyes just won't stay open, I hear the others whisper. They say that the Crow is fighting. He's coming back for me. That he will win.I love him, so I will wait. I just hope he'll be okay if I'm gone when he gets back.

I'm in pain, at least I should be. I'm numb. I fell nothing anymore, not even the tears that are falling. Involuntarily, of course. Because I'm not really sad.

Once, I told the Crow that we live in a city of sparks surrounded by people of glass. Everyone is fragile, but everything is finite.

He told me that, among the broken glass and dying embers, I was eternal.

Yes, that was the moment I fell in love with him.

But I guess that means nothing now. The Demon just came to visit me. He tried to look and sound genuinely concerned about me, but he was smiling. I'm glad I still make someone happy.

Oh, did I just close my eyes? No? Why is the world black? Am I dying?

No! Not yet! I…He doesn't know. He doesn't know I love him. I can't die yet; I have to tell him.

It's so dark, so cold. Oh Gaia, I'm scared.

No…I'm calm. It's okay, I'm fine. The world is fading now. I'm losing feeling now. It's okay, I'm fine. Just let my eyes close now.

"No. Wake up! Elfe! Wake up!"

My eyes force themselves open, even with the last of my strength being sucked away. Someone is holding me. He is so warm.

"See, I came back fore you…"

Sears…my Crow.
