Author's Note

This chapter could get very violent. Just thought I'd warn you.

The door slid open. Barbara walked to the outdoor observation deck, she stood right at the edge. She suddenly had second thoughts. Then she could see Nancy's suicide note in her head. She sent her parents an email via her cellphone and climbed onto the railing. A guard spotted her. "Hey you!" he called out, "It's not safe up there!" Her last thought was, He was too late.

The door slid open. Baku walked to Rakka's bedside. He suddenly had second thoughts. Then he could see Rakka and I kissing in his head. He held up the knife and swung. I heard her scream from the next room. When I opened the door, all I saw was blood everywhere and Rakka lying limp on the floor. To my horror, I saw Rakka fade out of existence, all that was left was her faded halo, lying on the ground. A sharp stinging pain in my left wing joint told me it was my turn. I watched, horrified, as I too started to fade. My last thought was, I was too late.
