The wand flicked
At the mercy of the
Pale hand that
Grasped it
The flash of green that
Started from the tip of
The tapioca colored wand
Made from the older tree
Rocketed towards the boy
All rational thought left me
The want
Need
To keep him alive,
Protect him
Filled me.
My body all but flung itself
in front of the green flash,
Warmth filling me, as it hit
Then an icy cold, as cold
As a glacier
My legs gave in, my body fell
My eyes searched relentlessly for
Him finding him with difficulties
I stared into the green eyes
The evergreen eyes that tried to
Hide behind the cracked and speckled glasses
Green eyes that filled with dirty tears
As I forced my lips to smile and whisper
"I hope the same old magic can save you twice"
I tried with what was left of my mighty
Strength to lift my hand, and wipe the
Tears away
But my body didn't respond
It couldn't do a thing
It was dead
I was dead
My eyes became too heavy, and then closed
For just a moment
When they opened, I was standing
Alone
Watching the rest of my friends and enemies
Fight, watching the flashes and blots of reds and greens
Light the dense forest
Watching the boy sob over
A lifeless, bloody, and broken body
My own body
A hand clinched my shoulder
A familiar voice
"Let's go"
I didn't turn to see which one of
My already dead friends were with me
I just closed my eyes, whispering
"I'll always love you"
I let myself go, the sounds
Of war and pain faded out
Laughter replaced it
The cold air ceased to exist,
replaced by a homely warmth
filled with hugs.
As I smiled and reunited with friends
A quiet noise, as quiet as a sneaking mouse
But as distinct and recognizable as one's
Own mother
could be heard in the
Back of my mind
A sob.
A reminder of the evergreen
Eyes that hid behind cracked,
Dirt speckled glasses
Eyes that shed dirty tears above
A lifeless, bloody, and broken body
My own.
