Usagi's POV:

I cough as I slowly try to sit up from my bed. This whole sickness was painful, coughing till my throat is raw which started bleeding, high fever. Thankfully my family is in Canada visiting a family member. My sickness was just starting out when they left causing me to not go. I thought this was a normal cold as well... Until it got worse. To the point were I avoided going outside to not run into my friends.

After a few days of the sickness luna noticed what sickness I had by my signs. I had the (Please comment what you want this sickness to be called.) Sickness. This sickness starts at the heart and organs tearing it down slowly and painfully till I would die one of the most painful deaths. This sickness is also not curable and is highly contagious for sailor guardians.

After finding out that this sickness would kill me I wrote letters to my friends, telling them what was happening and why I was avoiding them, and why I couldn't see them ever again. I told them that the only way to stop this from spreading was to destroy my brooch. I also told them the after effect of breaking the brooch which was death. At first I was worried thinking about how my parents and brother would react to this. It was turned to shock which in turn made me hild my breath... Yeah not a good idea with this sickness, I had a coughing fit which turned into me coughing up blood. Luna told me that I would ve erased from my families memory. It broke my heart, literally.

Which lead to were we are now. Sitting on the floor, knife in hand,brooch in front of me and Luna sitting to the left of me.

Usagi:" I guess this is it." I say resisting the urge to cough. I see Luna glance at me from the corner of my eye. I chuckle dryly.

Luna gets up from her sitting position and moves to my lap before laying down on it.

Luna:" Usagi can we at least try to find another way please. There has to be another way." I frown, even if there was another way I would be dead before we could even try it out.

Usagi:" We both know I would be dead before we could even find another way Luna. I'm sorry but there wasn't enough time to even begin with." Me and Luna knew I was right. This sickness always claimed it's victims in 8 days. She looks me in the eyes it has already been 6 days, I could tell she knew but didn't want to believe it. Even if we tried to make a cure it would take years to even find the right substances for the cure.

I smile. I knew that the sun was rising and my time was dying. I raise my hand to Luna's head, resting my hand between her ear as I fiddle with the knife in my other hand.

" Be sure to give them my letters, tell them that it wasn't their fault I didn't tell them. This is all on me." Luna looks at me with her eyes wide, slightly glowing.

"None of this is your fault Usagi!" Luna yells, her head shooting up to look me in the eye, causing her to jump.

I can't help but smile at the black cat, who is sprouting out all the reasons on how it is not my fault. I glaces at the window in front of me to see that the sun is almost up. I suddenly hear my phone buzz behind me.

This catches both mine and Luna's attention. We knew it was from our friends. I stare at my phone for a while thinking about what to do before picking it up and turning it on.

'69 notifications' I thinks as couldn't help but chuckle at the number of notifications I have. I unlocked my phone to see that my friends were texting me non stop, trying to see if I was okay and why they haven't seen me at all.

The girls have tried to check on me but I just never opened the door. Knowing that I might get them sick.

I pondered if she should answer their texts. Maybe I should. They were sending messages via group chat.

I decided to text them a short response. This was the longest we had went without contacting eachother.

'See you in a different life.'

I didn't know what else to tell them cause most of the stuff that I wanted to tell them was in the letters that I made. Which they were gonna get later.

Usagi:" It's now or never. I'll miss you Luna" I say as I gently hug Luna.  I made sure to hug her before I shattered my brooch. I am never gonna forget Luna's or my friend's hugs.

Luna:" Goodbye Usagi. I hope you rest in peace." Luna says as she buries her head in my shoulder.

I break the hug before tightening my  grip on the knife in my hand. This was my grandpa's knife that he passed to me on my birthday four years ago. He passed two years ago in a fire. He was a firefighter, saving two people when the building exploded. The two he was saving were save.

But my grandfather died. Now that I think about it. He sacrificed his life for others, like how I am sacrificing my life for my friends. Heh.

I plunge the knife down on my brooch. The second I do a light blinds me. 10 second later my vision went black.

"I'm sorry this happened to you my child"

"W-what?"
