CHAPTER 12 - It's Over
I wake with a scorching pain all throughout my body. I sit up and see…
Death. The metallic stench of blood hangs in the air from the massacre. Dead bodies litter the floor, angels of all kinds scattered about. Including the Traitor Queen's. And… Dyre's.
When I see his body, I rush over to it; despite the throbbing pain in my body.
I reach him, and look at him.
Blood pools around his still body.
Not a single movement.
Not even the rise and fall of him breathing.
I touch his neck.
No pulse.
I touch his wrist.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
It's all gone. Everything. I sit there, tears falling from my eyes like a waterfall.
"It's all gone," I sob into the halls of the massive structure.
I start to lose my mind. Time doesn't exist as I sob endlessly. Eventually people come back out, the other angels. The ones that survived.
But it doesn't matter. It's all gone. Everything I had.
Angels approach me, and they comfort me, but I don't care.
It's over.
It's all over.
