Time

Music: Time by Hans Zimmer

I hold the enderman hybrid in my arms. His eyes were closed, face expressionless and pale. I brush the hair out of his face. He's just as good as dead Aqua... A silver tear falls onto the hybrid's face. I close my eyes, feeling the pain and grief wash over me. I feel the memories replay in my head, over and over again.

He leans on the balcony, watching the sunset. He smiles. I run towards him, tears streaming down my face. He turns, the smile fading from his face.

"Aqua what's wrong?" He frowns at me as I put my hands on his shoulders, my hands starting to glow. His eyes close, a tear slipping from his eye. I put my forehead against his, feeling the memories be erased from his mind.

A dart shatters against my back as Drake teleports away, leaving me to battle Herobrine's army.
"Bragollach en' templa!" I watch as an explosion destroys the army, me disappearing.

I stand back to back against Drake, Grayson and Mia. I hold my sword at the ready. Herobrine merely laughs.
"Kill them," A demon leaps at Mia, it's hand choking her, making her start suffocating. Grayson yells, a gunshot piercing the air. I yell, knowing that they have met their fate.

Grayson falls to his knees, a bullet stuck in his neck. Drake turns to face me. He hugs me, tears streaming from my face as well as his.
"Goodbye..." He whispers in my ear, starting to back away from me. A sword protrudes from his chest, it getting pulled out. Drake falls to the ground, staring at the sky. Herobrine grins. I yell.

A demon leaps at me, swinging his sword at my neck. Upon contact, the blade shatters. The demons and Herobrine all vanish. I fall to my knees, looking at the dead, lifeless bodies of my friends.  The illusion shatters.

Tears don't stop once they start...

I sit on the cliff, tears stinging my eyes and streaming from my face. Time is falling apart... Time is the thing that is allowing us to live... Time is the thing that cannot be reversed... I stand up, wiping the silver tears off of my face. I turn my back on the cliff, starting to walk away. First Collin turned and now Drake's dead...

"Aqua?" I turn, seeing the brown haired and white eyed figure hovering above the cliff.
"Collin? You're alive?" My voice shakes. He nods.
"I'm only going to be here for a short time. Listen, I'm sorry. It's my fault that they're dead. Herobrine forced me to," a tear rolls down his face.
"Collin it's not your fault," I step towards him.

I stand on the very edge of the cliff.
"Don't jump," a deep voice makes me turn.
"I don't care. I just want the pain to stop," tears roll down my face, watching the time freeze fall over him as he runs towards me, stopping in his tracks as I fall backwards.

Time shatters. Time is falling apart. We are dying. Time shall stalk the world. Forever...

Everything starts reversing. I close my eyes, feeling all the pain wash away like the ocean tides...

A young boy looks at his watch, watching the second hand turn backwards. A black haired man sits next to him.
"You ok?" He asks. He nods, crawling into his lap. He leans his head against the black haired man's chest, him wrapping his arms around the small boy.

Never stop believing....

Time is everything...

The fox hybrid sits next to the ex-commander, watching the two boys throw snow balls at each other. They were only eight when they had adopted them, now age twelve. She leans her head on the blonde's shoulder, enjoying the time she spent with him and their sons.

The hybrid leaps from tree to tree, not looking back. She leaps and gets frozen in mid jump.

The elf demon looks at the assassin. Her fiery orange hair swirls around her.
"How could you love someone like me?" She whispers. The assassin steps forward and sets a hand on her cheek.
"Because you're worth it," he smiles.

Everything is worth the time to care about...

I smile, feeling memories go through my head. It's only a matter of time before it comes to an end...

Time is the only thing that destroys everything but cannot be destroyed...

Everything shatters, the whole world we live in collapsing.

...it's only a matter of time...

I hold the sword to my chest, the wind blowing my hair around. My eyes close, feeling everything starting to fall apart, along with the timeline.

A/N- let me know if this was emotional in the comments. Listen to the music with this. It's even more emotional. And yes, this all came from just the song Time.
