It Shouldn't Have Ended Like This

I knew. The moment I smelt the blood on Dodge's hands I knew.

Laine and Jervis fell into tears, sobbing in eachother' arms. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have kids. I was the only one who did not cry. You could call me heartless, cold, but you'd be wrong. I loved Ellda, as a friend, a sister, a fellow product of the decaying city we had grown in. But Ellda, Clowney, was not this dead kid lying in her own blood, though the clothes and scars begged to say otherwise.

I closed her yes. A pointless gesture perhaps since darkness was all she saw. Colourful was the name she gave me after our first meeting. I never asked her why.

We'd shared so much of our lives since that day. Fell into the same smiling trap together, it took us both with a sickening pleasure. I fell hardest, Clowney dragged me free of it. We nursed those wounds, grew stronger, broke free in our different ways.

I should have stayed with her. Kept her close. I should have seen how she started to spiral faster and burn brighter. But no, I left her in that warehouse, never gave her more than a fond memory, a fleeting visit. Some friend, some sister, I might as well as handed her over to Hatter myself.

I'm sorry Clowney. It shouldn't have ended this way.
