Chapter 18:
But don't think it's too late
Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it all right
But not right now
I know you're wonderin' when~~ Nickleback - Someday
I still have Harper in my arms, all warmth has left his body, but I still clutch him against my chest rocking, with every rock praying that this was a nightmare that I would wake up from at any moment. "Trance Gemini, your human's death was a senseless sacrifice, since it was *your* punishment to begin with," the head elder says.
I freeze and look up at her with tears still rolling down my face, but now they are tears of anger as I scream, "Why isn't his death punishment enough?!! You have my powers, you have taken away the man I love and without my powers I cannot save him! You have taken away from me the one thing that I have fought so hard to save! Isn't that enough?"
The head elder lookes at me and sternly says, "Because you have to be the one to die! It was your punishment and it shall be carried out. With his death, we have eliminated the second guilty one. How does the old human saying go, we will kill two birds with one stone.' Now stand!" I look back at Harper, his face now ashen. "Stand now!" the head elder sternly repeats.
I lean down and kiss Harpers dead cold lips and whisper, not caring if he couldn't hear me, "Sorry, my love."
I softly lay his head on the ground, wipe my tear-streaked face with my clean hand and stand. I look down to see that my dress and right arm is covered his crimson blood, Harper's blood. The blood I had never wanted on my hands ever again.
I look at the head elder as the gunman raises once again. I close my eyes, readying myself for the kill. I hear the blaster power. The head elder begins, "Ready....Aim," but before she can finish, there is a loud boom and the tribunal door behind me explodes outwards, splintering into hundreds of pieces.
I duck, shielding my head from the blast. I stand as the smoke clears and turn around. As the head elder screams, I start to make out a figure coming from the smoke. At first all I can tell is that the figure is a woman, but then she completely clears the smoke and I gasp as I realize who is the cause of this. I look in surprise and say, "Morrighan?"
She places on hand on her hip as she raises her blaster with the other and says, "Sorry to crash the party, but I object!"
TBC
OK, on to the next part!!!!!
