The last scene of the story (tear, tear). I know I don't want to end this but everything must come to an end. We're still in E block. We left off with a voice saying that John was dead. Who would say that to a little girl? Read on to find out!

CHRNO CRUSADE: PATH OF THE GREEN MILE

ACT TWO, SCENE TWELVE: THE END

"Paul, go easy on her," the guard said.

"She has to know the truth," Paul said.

"That John is dead?" Azmaria asked.

"Yes, that's right."

"At least give me your names."

"I'm Paul. Paul Edgecomb."

Paul pointed to a man with short blond hair and rock shaped face. "That's Brutus Howell." Paul continued to point to a man with big ears. "That's Dean Stanton." Paul pointed to the final guard. "And over there is Harry Terwilliger."

"Pleased to meet you all," Azmaria said, giving a slight bow.

"You're from that fancy, demon hunting, police squad, is you not?" Brutus asked.

"How did you know?"

Brutus scoffed. "They look like nuns. Nuns with guns. Isn't that ironic? They're trying to create peace and instead they condone it."

"……what would you do with a demon in your face?"

"She's right," Harry said. "I hear these demons aren't affected by regular guns. You have to use those special guns that special police squad uses."

"Do you believe in demons?" Paul asked.

"Hey, after John Coffey and his special powers, I'll believe anything."

They all nodded in response.

"So John used his gift as well," Azmaria said.

"How did you know him?" Harry asked.

"He helped me get to the city. He had the same powers I did."

"What?" Paul asked. "You mean you have that gift? The gift of healing people?"

Azmaria nodded. "I heal people when I sing."

"I'm not surprised," Brutus said. "He always said that he wasn't the only one with those special powers."

"Yeah…so…why were you lookin for John anyways?" Paul asked her.

"Because…because I didn't get the chance to thank him…for all the good things he did for me. Why did he go to prison?"

They all became silent. "Well," Harry started "he was accused of raping and murdering two girls. He went to jail because of these actions as well as his size and strange behavior. Of course, we believe that he didn't do anythin'."

"No kidding," Brutus added.

The room became silent once again and Azmaria then looked at the small mouse perched on John's shoulder.

"What's a mouse doing on your shoulder, Mr. Edgecomb?"

"Oh, you mean Mr. Jingles? Well, this little guy was always running around here, playful and energetic. It belonged to another prisoner but then…you know what happened to him. He gave Mr. Jingles to John and when he was gone, he came to me."

"Oh…"

"Do you want to know where John's buried?" Dean asked.

Brutus went over and smacked him across the head, "Dean you idiot! You don't go on and ask her that!"

"Sorry!"

"It's okay," Azmaria assured him. "I want to know where he's buried."

"It's a mighty far ride. You're sure you want to go there?" Paul asked.

"Yes, I would appreciate it."

"I'll take her," Harry offered.

"No, I'll take her," Paul said. "You guys watch over the block. If Hal asks, tell him I'm on break."

The two left, both Paul and Azmaria. They drove about a forty five minute drive north from the prison and when they arrived, there was a steep hill with a gravestone on top. Upon closer examination it read:

Here lies John Coffey,

A man who wanted nothing but peace;

Both in this world and in his heart.

This is his cry, this is his prayer

Peace to the world.

"So touching," Azmaria thought to herself. She turned to John, "can I be alone for awhile?"

Paul nodded and as he left the hill, he only saw Azmaria, kneeling and beginning to pray. Finally, she rose from her spot, place a flower she was meaning to give to John on his grave and whispered: "May you rest in peace." She went back to the car, and the pair drove away. As they did this, the sun shone brightly.

That's it. It's done. Killed. No more. I'm sorry, but I can't write anymore on this story. It's too sad for me. Anyway, I plan to write another story, but in a more cheerful way. I hope that you have enjoyed this story. Please R&R this last scene and I'll see you again someday!
