I stood there tears streaming down my face hot and salty against my skin. âWhat did you _do_?!â I screamed it over and over again but it was no use. Things wouldnât change. âI- I am so sorry⌠there has to be a way to fix this! She canât be dead⌠I can fix this!â Julieâs voice was shaky and hysterical but words couldnât undo what she had done.
What _we_ had done.
The aroma of thick metallic bloo...
âHe sacrificed his life to save mine⌠after all I didâ
âHeâs not even dead what are you talking about?â
âI broke my promise to himâ
âAbout the cookie?â
âIt was too much to keep, a promise like that. Perhaps I will go to hellâ
âOver a cookie?â
âAnd now heâs gone, dead. Saved my life from that dreaded demon!â
âAye, donât call me a demon basta-â
âLANGUAGE! Now where was I? Oh right, he saved ...
âHe sacrificed his life to save mine⌠after all I did.â I mutter to myself as I watch the guards hang the man on a cross. I watch as his mother cries and the blood stains the wood of the cursed tree. I knew this was my fault, I was so selfish, I was persuaded by the money of one of his disciples who turned to be a crooked man. The man looks so peaceful on the cross, not angry, but like he has a co...
Ember pushed hard against the door, water spraying out of the corners, when something slammed into it. She turned to look at it and saw two eyes.
âWade!â
âKeyhole!â He shouted.
Ember pulled the key out and he squeezed through.
Once he was through, he reformed himself and held the door with her.
âI was hoping to make a more heroic entrance.â
âWade! You came back! After everything I said!â
âA...
âKai!â I screamed.
I had just gotten back from the kitchen. Kai was waiting for me in the door way.
âKai,â I screamed again, as I watched him fall to the ground. Everything seemed to be in slow motion.
I ran to Kai dropping the blanket and picnic basket.
He was gone, the one thing that was never supposed to happen. I held him close to my chest as I looked up at the bright blue sky tears streami...
My voice comes out sort of foggy. âHe sacrificed his life to save mine⌠after everything I did to himâŚâ Itâs all I can do to stop myself from collapsing in grief and guilt.
âItâs not your fault,â he tells me, sinking onto the ground next to me. His young face etched with deep emotion far too wise for his youth.
âYes it wasâŚâ Suddenly, my guilt turns to the need to protect. I look up at my son...
âHe sacrificed his life to save mine⌠after all I didâŚâ the words echoed around in her head as she tried to hold back a sob. A tear slid down her cheek and dropped onto her pillow. âI wish he was here, now he could tell me it wasn't my faultâŚâ she cried silently. She sniffed, wiping away more tears with the back of her hand, the cold sweat still on her forehead from the nightmare. It was the only ...
{District 7, Neon City}
[Sofiaâs point of view]
Hours had passed since Emond returned from his mission from Spider. Of course heâd not given her any information on what went down. Or even where he was. Just shrugged her questions off. Instead heâd taken up gardening.
Which he did out behind the house. To her annoyance of course, theyâd been pretty much mobile for the few months they had become...
I decided to cheat. Why not? Itâs not like heâs going to find out.

Walking back home now⌠I canât believe I just did that. I didnât even know that guyâs name! Iâm going to feel guilty for the rest of my life. What? Iâm not going to tell Doug. Heâll never forgive me.
