Don't Forget

Tilia

Fara's little body lights up in my arms before dissipating into little lights of unreal whiteness. They rise to the ceiling and then evaporate in the air. I smile sadly as my little sister goes away, but I'm glad she's finally resting in peace. I always felt like she was never far from me since her funeral. I look at the bracelet Fara gave me thanking heaven for giving me the chance to say goodbye.

I stand up to face Henry who was watching us with amusement. Understanding that all the horrors I experienced were planned by this demon, I clench my fists in rage. All this anger that he taught me to channel to do evil around me possesses me and pushes me to rush towards him. But my race is stopped dead when I feel the bullets pierce my body.

I watch as Hugo aims his smoking gun at me after firing four shots. He stares at me dismissively, watching me fall to the ground. The pain is unbearable, but I can't scream because of the blood I'm regurgitating. I slowly but surely bleed out as my vision begins to blur.

Henry approaches me and breaks Hugo's neck with a snap of his fingers. He falls lifeless to the ground.

—    He's not much use now, Henry says.

Driven by a rush of adrenaline, I drag myself towards Kenziel who is unconscious a little further. I grab his hand before lying down next to him watching Henry walk towards us.

Kenziel opens his eyes weakly to tell me:

—    Do not forget who you are. Whether it's Arana or Tilia, you're not what they made you.

The same light that took us out of the prison reappears, but only surrounds Kenziel this time before disappearing with my angel. I am now alone with my demon.

Henry crouches down beside me to wipe the blood running down my cheek.

—    See you soon, Arana, he says with a smirk.

I find the strength to touch my belly before closing my eyes in regret. " Forgive me." I say before feeling the flames of hell swallow me.
