Fall

Pain. She heard the buzz before it hit, eyes wide, fingers suddenly spasming into claw shapes as she fell, unable to catch herself with suddenly limp arms. She felt all her muscles convulse painfully, and was unable to withhold the whimper she felt in her throat, barely registering that she should have hit the ground already.

The shocks stopped rather suddenly. She gasped for breath, eyelids fluttering as she felt herself lowered to the ground. Every muscle trembled. A deep ache in her chest. A gentle caress on her cheek.

Screams, a dark angel, blue fire, blackness…

'Burn to ashes'
