TW: For blood and death

Tears run down my cheeks. Salty mixing with the metallic taste in my mouth. Blood oozes from the wound in my side, but I can hardly bring myself to care. How could I? When you're lying here, dying before me. 

You said it would be alright....

You said we would be together forever.....

But we never planned for this....

A year ago I discovered a mutant gene in my blood. 

Six months ago I accidentally activated that dormant gene. 

Three months ago they came. 

Today you lie dying in my arms.

I caress your face, the light is slowly leaving your blue eyes. I sweep your brown bangs away from your forehead, and place one last kiss there. 

I grab your hand, clutching it over my heart. 

"Goodbye, my love." I whisper. 

Your hand goes slack in mine.

I rest my head on your chest, blood soaking into my hair. I can't bring myself to care.

We'd only been married for two years......

We were supposed to live out our lives together. 

But they took that from us. 

I shakily stand, testing my body to see if it will support my weight. 

I promised you I would never use my powers.

But you're no longer here.

And it's all they're fault.

With that I throw back my head, and let out a screech, throwing all of my agony, sorrow, despair, and all of my love into it.

I smile as the trees break apart, the glass shatters, the houses crumble. 

The people fall. 

But still they remain. 

I stalk over to them. Slowly, wanting their to be fear in their eyes. 

But there's none. Only acceptance of their fate. 

....and glee???

I falter in confusion. 

They grin at me, all three of them in unison and say, "It has happened. It has been fullfilled. Our work is done. Good job, our sweet."

I stare at them with hatred, and so many questions ad confusion in my head i feel i may pass out. 

"You destroyed the world, and our work here is done."

I glance around me. The aftershock of my scream are still tearing the earth apart. And i cannot stop it. 

I turn back to look at them. 

"What are you?" 

They only smile as they slowly fade away.

I sit down on the ground as the earth slowly tears away from under me.

I will see you again my love.

Soon.
