Lex's Star
Written By: Blazing Fire
Prologue
Lex sat by the grave of Zandra. He still couldn't believe that she and his baby were gone, even after all this time. They had been stolen from him in and instant leaving him alone. He had married Tai-San but now she was gone from him too and doubted that he would ever see her again. Even Siva was dead, leaving him once again alone. He didn't realize what he had until after they were already gone. He had been with a great deal of women, but none of those women were ever able to keep him or capture his heart.
He decided to end it there. He was so tired. So tired of being alone; tired of finding someone and then losing them to fate. He thought that maybe, just maybe he could finally be with Zandra and his baby where he belonged.
The baby, he never knew if it would have been a boy or a girl. He had said that he wanted a boy, but it didn't make any difference to him anymore. He just wanted to be with them again. If not in this world, maybe the next.
Slowly he reached into his pocket and pulled out his knife. Opening the shiny blade, he stared at it. Lex for the first time in a long time was happy. His depression had become so bad that he had a hard time feeling anything. But he was finally happy. He couldn't wait to join Zandra and the baby again. Opened it, put it to his wrist and let the blade bite his skin.
He didn't even feel the pain. It was almost like it was a release of some kind. He watched as the blood flowed down his arm and on to the ground.
He could feel the darkness creeping up on him. He laid down on the ground and waited for the end. He could finally be with her again. He looked up at the dark sky. It was sunset and he could see some of the stars coming out. He knew that he would never see another sunrise or sunset. That's the way he wanted it.
As he laid there waiting for the end, he could see Zandra and the baby in the sky. It looked almost like she was crying though. Lex whispered, "Zan, don't cry. I'll be there soon," as he started to fade.
