Not a Thing
I logged out of the game, my mind swirling with thoughts, tears continuously leaking from my eyes. The monitor of the computer exited out of The World and returned to the normal settings of the desktop, the game's icon still highlighted from when I last clicked on it. My room was dark; I kept the lights off so I wouldn't wake anybody when they were asleep.
But she was gone... Mia was gone...
"Mia..."
I cried and put my face in my hands, not bothering to get up from the chair. My skin was moist from holding the controller and pale from the last experience. That last, horrid, dreadful experience...
A lonely rock with neon colors, a distorted area with odd structures floating in the background, the feeling of emptiness...
A friend dying...
The scene was still quite vivid in my memory and I shut my eyes tight together, trying to block out the incident, but with them closed it only reappeared with vengeance--much more graphic, and it pained me to see it. I could still feel her pain, my pain, hear her last words...
It's all Kite's fault!
He's the one who killed Mia!
More sobs shook through my body and I held myself closely, tears still falling down my cheeks. How could Kite kill my best friend? That was so...so... so cruel of him! What did Mia ever do that was wrong? Mia didn't deserve this... So why?
Why Mia...?
"I'm sorry, Mia, I'm so sorry," I whispered quietly to myself, staring at the ground. "You didn't deserve this..."
My job as a Wavemaster is to heal, but when I... when I saw her... lying there on the ground, in his arms, I did my best, but nothing worked... I was too weak! I was too worthless! She was dead because of Kite, and I wasn't able to save her!
"I'm sorry, Mia... I wasn't there for you."
At this, I cried a little harder and buried my face into my hands once more. Mia was gone, the purple, friendly feline character who I used to roam about The World with, collecting Aromatic Grass, was gone. The one who helped me out on so many occasions, the one who kept me company: Dead.
And I wasn't able to do a thing to save her.
