Is it possible that even at the darkest of nights, the moon can shine brightly enough to light a path? That even the darkest of holes or oceans, that there is still something to light a way out. In truth, I felt like there was never a light, no path, no sign of a way out. I was suffocating, feeling as though every time I tried breathing or coming up for air, I'd never make it to the surface. Like life was only an inch away, but still, I could never reach it.

Thats what it felt like. Like my light, my heart, my soul was just out of reach again as I watched him leave me behind. But this time it was not by choice or because we'd had enough of each other, it was merely because someone else decided to take away the one good thing in my life. Sebastian Sallow.

We had been through so much this past year and just when things were going to turn out right, and that we had our final chance, our legs were swept from under us. 

I grabbed the dirt below my hands, my hands turning into fist as I felt the numerous tears fly down my face. Gritting my teeth, biting down on my lip as I felt a scream wanting to escape them. 

Anne's sobs in the back round with Ominis small and sweet gesturing voice, telling her it was going to be okay as she continued to find comfort in his arms. 

But it wasn't okay, it was never going to be okay. I'd never find rest until I figured out who did this. Who spilled the truth on Sebastian when we all swore, we'd never tell a soul.

I looked back at Ominis and Anne, watching as Anne's tears and sob's clearly told me she'd never told a soul.

I looked at Ominis, watching his worried expression as Anne's breathing was coming out uneven. Clearly worried for her well-being. 

My mind running through all the scenarios of who it might have been, or if something was just missed along the way. 

I rose to my feet, not being able to take it any longer. Looking off into the distance in which Sebastian had left me. Leaving me in darkness once again.
