The Fallen Stars

Chapter 54 Esme

I would have never thought that he would have crossed my path. I never though that this would happen.

I prepare my sword for the deadly blows I have for him. "Ah, the daughter that wasn't supposed to be." He chuckles darkly. "The man, who was never a man at all." I shoot back. He swings a blow but I block him, my arms sting at the impact. I only had a little bit of training with Damiao before we were kidnapped. "Your mother would have been happier with me than with your father." He snarls. "And yet here I am." I say throwing one of my own blows, he blocks it without any trouble. "You? You're a descrase for the Hook family. You're just as pathetic as your father." He growls his next blow makes me lose my grip on my sword and it swings out of my hand. I tripp against a large bolder behind me, trapping me into a corner. He grabs his dagger and puts it against my throat. "Now the Pan line has finally come to its end." He says, his breathe against my skin. I'm terrified. I'm gasping for air while the movement makes the dagger draw blood. He watches the blood run down my neck, bloodlust in his eyes. "If.... you.... kill me... I'm taking... you... down wi... with... m-e." I say slowly through the pain. He frowns at my words, then stabs me in the chest. 

I gasp for air as he takes a step back, surprise in his eyes. He looks down at his chest as he falls to his death. The dagger that I had by side, a dagger that my brother gave me. I put it into the chest of the monster who killed my brother.

I slide down to sit, breathing heavily. So today I die. Today I join my family. I'll see my mother, my father... my brother. My vision begins to blurr. "Esme!" a deep voice calls but all I can see is black. "Goodbye." I whisper, a weak smile creeps up to my lips. 

So this is my end.
