I slam the kitchen door as I glance at the clock. 8:45. I am so dead! I walk into the living room and see my mom lying on the couch with the t.v on. "Hey mom sorry I was late I promise I didn't mean to be but would never guess what happened today!" I walk around the couch to sit by her. "I met some people from the fairy tail guild in town!" She hasn't even looked at me once! I told her I was sorry. "Mom I really am sorry I didn't mean to stay out so late." She still ignores me. I stand up and crouch by her. She's all curled up in a blanket so it's hard to see her face. I poke her shoulder. And have to swallow my scream her head rolled back and I can see her face. "MOM?" Her lips and eyelids and blue. "Mommy? Please be okay!" I check her pulse. Nothing. My world is covered in a watery film. What about Jasmine? And Drake? I stand up and run into Jasmine's room. "Jassy?" I choke out. She is lying on her back on the floor in a pool of blood her body has hundreds of cuts her blonde curls matted to her face with blood. "JAS!" I run and check her pulse. Nothing. I am gasping for breath. I pick her up and hug her one last time. I have to check on Drake he can't be dead. My whole family can't be dead. I jump up blood all over my clothes and legs. I sprint to Drakes room and open the door. He's not here! Where is he?! I run down the stairs and head out to the garage but stop in my steps once I step off the porch. I can see him his hand is resting on the door knob to the garage. I run and my legs give out as I get to him. His mouth is sewn shut and he is dripping wet. His eyes glazed over. "DRAKE!" I finally break I crawl away from him and collapse on the ground. They aren't dead. They aren't dead. They aren't dead. THEY AREN'T DEAD! I scream as loud as I can and start sobbing uncontrollably. I need help. I need someone's help. I get up and start running back to town. Fairytail. They can help me. I am sobbing and stumbling while running. When I finally reach the guild doors I am exhausted. I am numb I can't see where I am going through the tears pouring down my face. I rub at my face trying to calm down so I can find the door handles. I finally manage to grab one and force it open with a loud bang. A few of the guild members glance over. Their eyes widen but I don't care I need Lucy she can help me. I start stumbling into the doorway but am stopped by weapons drawn on me. "Why do you have blood on your hands?" A blonde haired man asks. I start sobbing and gasping.
"Lucy!" I screech. "Lucy please I need help!" The man doesn't lower his weapon.
"Sophie?" An incredulous voice asks. I look up. It's Levy! She can help me find Lucy. "Levy I need Lucy! Where's Lucy? Please!" I am starting to sound hysterical.
"She is at home! Sophie what happened?" Levy soothes coming up to hug me. I back away and wrap my arms around my knees. I stop crying and get eerily calm. "They're dead." I whisper to my hands staring at them looking at Jasmine's blood. "They're dead. They're dead! They're dead!" It becomes my mantra. I am rocking back and forth my mind is broken. Shattered really. They'redeadthey'redeadthey'redeadthey'redead. Levy looks at me trying to figure out what to do. She suddenly stands up and starts ordering people around. While I am sitting on the ground my world shattered in too many small pieces to pick up. "Jet you're the fastest go get Lucy bring her here now! Laxus go get master and tell him what's going on." She frantically searches the crowd. "GRAY!"
"Levy I'm right here." He states crouching down by me. I turn my face and look into his eyes. "They're dead." I whisper my vision dancing with their bodies. He winces and stands up to talk to Levy.
"She's going into shock we need to do something."
"I know. I need you to take her to the infirmary." He nods and bends to my level.
"They're dead." I whisper looking at his face.
"I know, but right now we need to take you to the infirmary. You need to sleep." I shake my head. "They're dead." I don't need sleep I need to get back to my family. He tries to help me stand up but my legs won't work. Why should I move when they can't? Realizing I won't be standing anytime soon he picks me up cradling me close. I clasp my hands together and silently spiral out of control. We are halfway there when I revolt I shove myself out of Gray's arms and make towards the door. I have to see them I need them they can't just leave me! I need them! "Someone catch her!" Gray and Levy shout. A white haired wall of muscle grabs me but I kick him and vault over him. I need to see them just one more time I need to! I am inches from the door handle when I am grabbed from behind and pulled away from the door from my family. "NO!" I scream as I turn around trying desperately to get away. It's the blonde man from earlier who has a hold on me. "You need to calm down." He growls. I struggle against his vice grip crying and yelling and hitting "No! Please no I need them I need to see them please!" Something in me is broken and I have no control. "Please! Please! Please!" I beg my voice going hoarse from all the crying. The man sits down pulling me with him. He leans his head down and whispers"I know it hurts I know you want to see them but what good is it going to do if you don't get help first?" I stop trying to escape and look at him. He looks like he knows pain like he knows what's happening. "I need to see them just once more. Please." My voice cracks but I don't cry. He looks sorry but shakes his head no. I wrap my arms around his neck and start crying silently. His arms come around me and hold me tight. Levy walks up to us. "Thank you Laxus." She says quietly so as not to send me on another run for it. I feel him nod his head. "No problem." I feel his chest vibrate when he talks. I feel warm and comforted but broken, so broken and incomplete, like half of me is missing and what's left is in the ocean the waves crashing violently sending me whirling helplessly into the rocks shredding and splintering what little is left. They are gone and I am left alone. "Gone." I whisper before falling into oblivion.
