I took a deep breath closing my eyes. The tingle in my body radiated from my finger tips to my toes. The Counsel sat before me, sending waves of condescending feels through the air that seemingly landed on me. "This is ridiculous!" One screeches, sending the others into a hushed chatter.
A man with a sludge like substance leans in over his pedestal. "You do realize you're already dead? You can't die again."
"I'm aware," I reply through my clenched jaw. "But I believe I've done more harm than good."
"Got that right!" Once sneers. The sludge man leans over again. "What is keeping us from sending you back?" he inquires.
"I've done all I can do, I've seen all I can see, I've been who I needed and met who needed to be met. I've done all I can in this world, in this form," I say gesturing to myself. "We all know what I'm asking for here and why." I can only hope that's true, and that The Counsel is not as thick as observed. They all grow quiet before Caspian finally speaks. "Alexandria, we know what you're doing. And we'd like you to know that there is no going back from this. It's permanent and virtually uselessā¦."
"No," I say shaking my head. "Do it, please."
"It's considered suicideā¦"
"Please," I beg.
Caspian looks at me sadly, as if to apologize for failing me. "Very well, do you have anything else you'd like to say?"
I shut my eyes and through my numb body, I manage to let a few tears leak from my eyes and down my cheek.
Images flash before my eyes of my family. L, Beyond, Matt, Mello, Near, Stanley, Ophelia and everyone else dance before my vision. Blinking back a few tears, I hold my head high, letting a hint of a smile grow on my lips.
I draw in my final breath and whisper, "Bless our fall."
I bet you all forgot about me didn't you? Thought I left you hanging? I know you heard the excuse a million times. But a million and one more won't hurt...I was busy! And I'm sorry for delaying this chapter. And in a way I didn't want this story to end and I was just prolonging it. But under great consideration, I've decided to make a 5th and FINAL story to not leave this off on a cliffhanger. I'll be posting it tonight and a reminder for those people who don't read these authors note things. It's been great, and I'm happy that you've enjoyed the story enough to stick with me through this many of them! Gracias me amigos y amigas!
