SAPPHIRE
Sapphire jolted awake, her forehead was sweaty and her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest. She sat up and glanced over at the other empty half of the bed, Soul must have let her sleep in. She hated it when she wasn't able to kiss him goodbye in the morning, Sapphire stood and stretched, lifted her arms above her head, and let out a yawn before turning to make the bed. Whilst making up the bed, she noticed that the spot where Soul was lying was still warm.
After she finished making the bed, she started to prepare for the day ahead of her. She fixed herself a small, but filling, breakfast. Luckily she had woken up early this morning and had plenty of time to get to work. On her way out the door she grabbed her blue purse and white sunhat which boasted a delicate yet beautiful orange rose on the brim, then headed out for the day.
After about five minutes of walking she arrived at the local produce stand, she picked out the perfect apple to buy, like she did every day, for her lunch at work.
"That'll be $1.22." chirped the cashier.
Sapphire dug around in her purse for the cash and, upon finding it, handed it to the cashier.
"Here is your change, have a nice day!"
"Thank you very much, you t-" Sapphire was cut off as a deafening boom sounded across the entire city. Moments later the world around her erupted into chaos, the ground shook, windows shattered, and dozens of screams echoed from nearby houses, the wail of a siren could be heard in the distance. The cashier had been knocked off her feet and was yelling at Sapphire to take cover, but she didn't hear anything, she was clutching her chest in agony, she was panting, gasping for air, the edges of her vision clouding becoming darker and darker. Sapphire fell onto her knees, trembling, tears started to roll down her face.
"No...no...He can't..." she whispered before falling victim to the calling darkness.
