Death to Aeris - Part 4
The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, classes had been canceled for some, unknown reason, the three of us had gotten time to spend together. We started off with a nice lunch at a local café and now wandering aimlessly around town.
"Ambi? Who are you talking to?" Sakura asked.
"…No one." I said.
"Yes, it seems as the world itself were happy. And best of all, it seems that Aeris had finally-"
"Ambi! For the last time, stop making your narrative thoughts public!" Esca yelled.
"…died…"
Esca and Sakura both sighed and continued to walk along side me.
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, we heard a voice, that should not have been heard at all. "Hey! Hey, you guys!"
We stopped in our tracks. We looked around in disbelief, until we looked up and saw the sight, which we dreaded to ever have to see again.
There. At the top of the hill. Was Aeris. Unharmed and alive, a little dirty, but alive nonetheless.
Suddenly, the wind picked up and the sky had clouded over. Somewhere, off in the distance, a baby began crying.
"Please tell me this is just some sick joke that some cosplay girl is pulling on us." I almost begged.
"I need to talk to you girls! Hold on, I'll be right there!" she called and headed for the two flights of stairs, which zigzagged down to where we now stood.
Our eyes had all begun to twitch. "If she gets within ten feet of me, I'm sporking her eyes out." I said as I took out my metal spork.
Esca and Sakura both nodded and we all hung our heads.
We looked up when we heard her scream. Her foot must have caught on the curb. She reached out for the railing, but, it had been recently painted, so her hand slipped and was now covered with paint.
At that exact moment, a cat, followed by a large dog went running down the stairs, which threw her off balance even more.
While she was flailing her arms about, a skateboard came down from the busy street above. Aeris' foot landed on the skateboard, throwing her back, hitting her head.
She sat up, rubbing her head. She became lightheaded from the paint fumes, and so fell forward, and tumbled down a few steps, until she was hurled headlong into a tree.
She stood up, holding her head. She REALLY looked bad now; hair a mess and paint everywhere, not to mention the huge bruise that was forming on her head.
She held onto the railing and stumbled down the next flight, twisting her ankle twice, halfway down.
"Almost…" she started.
We heard a lot of screeching and yelling, coming from up above. Next thing we know, a car comes speeding down the street. The driver had obviously lost control, because they weren't bothering to even slow down.
Aeris finally reached the bottom of the stairs, just as the car came zooming by, plowing through her, and hit a tree, as Aeris came crashing down, body broken.
The three of us stood there, dumbstruck. We couldn't believe what we had just seen happen. We didn't even know what to do.
The driver of the car came stumbling out, along with a passenger. They were an elderly couple.
"Herb, I told you to wear your glasses!" The old lady yelled.
"I can see just fine, Martha." The old man said. They both stopped. "Hey! This isn't Disney Land!"
We all just shuddered at the old couple and walked over to the scene, as did several other people.
One guy grabbed a nearby stick and began to poke Aeris with it. She didn't move. "Hey!" Sakura wretched the stick out of the man's hand. "Don't do that!"
"Yeah!" I said.
"That's OUR job!" Esca yelled.
Sakura broke her stick into three pieces and handed each of us a piece. We proceeded to poke her with our sticks.
The police, ambulance, and the crowd of people were slowly disbanding from the site of Aeris' death.
The three of us continued to watch on the side lines, still unbelieving that it had even happened.
"Well...she's dead…" I said.
"But it's an empty win." Sakura said.
"Yeah, WE were meant to do the job." Esca said, crossing her arms angrily.
"So what do we do now?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know, wanna go get a pizza?"
"Sure." Esca and Sakura said.
The three of us got up and walked away, not forgetting what had happened only a few hours ago.
