Chapter 7: The Ending of Another Life

Still in Kelly's POV

I opened my eyes slowly, my vision blurry. The whole room, no cell, was one giant blur. Like the way watercolors will run down a paper if you lifted it up, from the top.

"He-hello," A soft voice whispered, from a corner. It was shaking dramatically and spoke as if every word hurt. "Who-who's there?"

I turned my head blinking a few times, my vision slowly becoming clearer. Again the voice repeated, "Who's there sho-show your-yourself."

I gulped and looked over to a corner to see a young girl, sitting in the corner her eyes wild with fear, her chest rising and falling quickly with heavy breaths, it looked like the girl was dying. She had black hair and light sky blue highlights ran down the sides, her hair was dirty and dried blood seemed to coat it. Scarlet red standing out against the blue and black. Her eyes were dark blue, she looked about my age, 12 or was I 13 now? I stopped for a second to think, how old I was, so much had happened, that I wasn't even sure.

I was brought back to the girl by a series of coughs; she was doubled over in pain clutching her stomach, her hair hanging over her face. I looked away in disgust as blood began to pool around her. When she looked up again blood dripped from her mouth, she raised her arm and wiped it away with her sleeve.

"Are you okay?" I asked trying to move over to her, but was stopped by a tight glowing shackle connect from the wall to my ankle.

All I could do was watch as she began to cough again, finally she looked at me eyes filled with tears and said, "Where is she? Where's BlackNight? I need her I'm fading she held me together!" I blinked the words were so familiar, where had I heard them before.

Suddenly my head snapped up as the flashback appeared through my mind,

The ghost girl began to whisper, "Where is she? Where's Laura? I need her I'm fading she held me together!" The ghost girl flickered out of few and continued to wildly ask about Laura.

Was it possible this girl was Laura. Carefully I studied her again and noticed things I hadn't before. Black and light sky blue, the opposites of white and night sky blue. The dark blue eyes, the same dark blue that had circled the ghost girl's glowing green ones.

"Laura?" I asked slowly.

She looked up at me shocked, "Yo-you know m-me ho-how?" He words slurred together and she stuttered.

"I think I might have meant your other half, BlackNight. Green eyes with dark blue circling them, white hair with night sky blue highlights, a pale blue dress."

For the first time the girl, Laura, seemed truly happy and hopeful. "Wh-what di-did she sa-say? Is-is sh-she al-alright."

Her happiness made me hang my head how could I tell her BlackNight was gone faded. How could I say that as she lay dying herself? Finally I spoke softly and said, "She is no more."

Tears pooled in Laura's eyes at once, her last hope gone forever.

As I watched her another flashback surfaced,

"Put this on it may protect you, and if you find Laura before it's too late tell her I'm sorry." With that the ghost girl, flicked twice more and faded, saying, "Laura I miss you." She didn't appear again.

I gulped and continued, "She said that she missed you and that she was sorry."

Laura looked up at me through tear blurred eyes, "D-did sh-she, di-did I, go bold-boldy?" She asked.

I thought for a moment, "Yes, your ghost half was amazing."

A smile etched at Laura's face before she closed her eyes and said, "The-then I-I ha-have no-no more re-reason to live. She is gone, I-I am at peace." She smiled completely now and whispered softly, "Don-don't worr-worry BlackNight I-I am com-coming." With that she was gone and I was left alone. The darkness of the cell surrounded me, as I saw yet another life end before me.

Hey people I hope you liked this chapter I really liked writing it. It was sad, yet happy to me at the same time. Laura was dead, but at peace. She was gone, but she has joined BlackNight.
