As She Sinks Down Into Light
Eyes full of hate and deceit.
That's the clearest image she can think of –that's the last thing she saw before the person who she thought cared about her the most led the events to her death.
She tries to forget those eyes by staring up at the clear blue sky. Tall trees surround her and the bright green grass underneath her prickles her skin. For a moment, she can forget the blood trickling down the back of her head. But it hurts too much –not just physically.
Never give up… come on, stand up.
She was too weak to understand her reassuring thoughts. She tries to breath in, but it seems as if air can't fill her lungs anymore. She blinks back the angry tears. This is the girl who supposedly never lets weakness hold her down. But this time, it has her tied down to the ground.
She tries once more to forget it all –the betrayal, the fighting, the hatred. If she does, she can imagine she's lying down on her childhood house's backyard, waiting for her father to come home. Yeah, that would be a better place to die in.
She'd never thought that she'd give up so easily on anything. For every situation, there's always a way out. That had always been her motto. But if she does evade death, she'll be right back to where she was before –and now, there's a possibility that where she was before is the wrong place to be.
She hears the screams of surprise and agony, the gunshots and explosions up above.
The only way out this time is to accept that her time has come.
She's disappointed on her thoughts, really. Even though her memory is beginning to fade, she can still remember how hard she worked for this day. She used to be so strong and positive before. But now she's fragile…broken, even. She wanted to die with her mind in peace, but that won't be possible. She'll just have to settle with the tiny spark of hope in her heart that her friends won't suffer the same destiny.
And so, she closes her eyes for the last time in her short life.
Note: Well, to clear this rather confusing prologue up, let me explain some things: this is something that happens in the middle of the story. You'll find out who the character in this is sooner or later. Also, don't worry. Future chapters won't be so short and... well, depressive.
Also, the story's and prologue's title isn't mine. It's from a certain song by a certain band. I'll leave you to guess whose it from :3 So leave your answer on a review and you'll find out if you were right or wrong on my next update.
By the way, I'm Ellie, and yes I'm a new writer. Thanks for reading!
