Thank you all for the support :) On with the story!
Lost Cause
~The teen giggled and held his sweaty body against mine. The cold blade of the knife calmed me into thinking it would all be over soon, and I would die by what seemed to drive me insane for weeks... The thought was so comforting that I strained against the blade causing the curve of it to dig into my skin; finally, a dull pain cut through my arm and a warm liquid flowed over into my palm. A small gasp escaped my lips and a angry roar came from my left.
~"RAVEN!" All of my comrades yelled but Gar who transformed into the Beast again and began to lunge at the teen.
~I sensed an unease sweep though the village as they lowered their weapons and got on their knees in the smoky light. Flames danced on the houses, incinerating them slowly, and curled every strand of brush and grass making up the house. A sweet, green scent filled the air and mingled with the smell of dried wood and twigs, but even the wonderful smells and beauty of the fire, which I was so maddeningly attracted to, was dulled by the slow steady throb in my wrist and the hot, sticky liquid dripping off my fingertips. The boy holding me dropped me and cowered in fear of the Beast like the rest of the tribe. My vision blurred and a loud rrrrriiiipppppp filled the air as Gar threw himself up and soared overhead to annihilate the lanky teen. I heard a muffled roar and several screams but could take no action as I sank to the soft, fine dirt and my vision became cloudy and blurred. A dull red, bigger- than- life sized hand errupted from the ground next to me and roughly snatched me off the packed dirt with pincer like nails; although, I could feel no pain.
~I lolled my head around to take one final glimpse of my friends now fighting whatever it was coming out of the earth and shed one lone tear.
~I, suddenly, was filled with purpose and swung my head around to face the Beast and yelped out a strange compalation of several strings with numerous sounds. They did not make sense to my ear at first but neither did anything else I had heard for the past couple of minutes... A second later, the words made sense in my mind... I had said, "I love you all, though I may have never shown it. There are some things that can't be expressed. I am dying, and I want you to know that I love you all. Take my love and do with it what you will, but Garfield, I love you with all my heart, so kill these mother fuckers and move on with your life... I am hopeful you won't see me when you go where you go when you die... Where I'm going there is no hope."
~As soon as my short speech was over, I collasped back into the hand and my body went limp. The only thing hanging over the side was my scarred and bloody left arm.
