Escape the dark ~ Book 1

Chapter 43 Waves in the Tears

~Angel's POV~

"Well... that took longer than expected..." I said as we walked out of the walls of the village... The persuasion took about an hour, give or take. As we got closer I saw O'khasis guards there was a barrier around it keeping them out of our camp. "What's going on here?!" I asked them. My hood was up so they couldn't recognize me. "We are sorry to swarm the area... but this village you came from is working with O'khasis and we got some notes that some people related to the divine warriors are here. Wait... your voice sounds familiar..." The guard said, staring at me. I took my hood off, slowly... "Angel? Aren't you supposed to be in Phoenix Drop with your puny brother as a lord." Another guard said. Everyone stared at him. He was new, but I didn't care! HE INSULTED LEVIN! "What. Did. You. Just. Say. About. Levin?!" I asked through slight shadow knights moments. All of the guards backed off except for the one. I had transformed fully into a shadow knight. I ran up and... beheaded him... "Anyone else want to insult Levin?" My shadow knight form asked. All the guards ran away at that. "Cowards..." It muttered, looking back down at the body... My eyes widened at what I just did. Oh... my... goodness... Did I just BEHEAD A LIVING PERSON!? My eyes went back to normal, then ran off crying. I saw Sonya following me... so I ran faster sat down behind a tree and made a forcefield around me so no one could get in but me. I started to sing...

Please, please forgive me,

But I won't be home again.

Maybe someday you'll look up,

And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:

"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know -

You forgot me long ago.

Am I that unimportant...?

Am I so insignificant...?

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

[Chorus:]

Even though I'm the sacrifice,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.

Isn't someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me,

But I won't be home again.

I know what you do to yourself,

I breathe deep and cry out,

"Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?"

[Chorus]

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,

Knowing you don't care.

And if I sleep just to dream of you

I'll wake without you there,

Isn't something missing?

Isn't something...

[Chorus]

I saw someone one out of the corner of my eye... then there were two kids trying to break into where I was...
