The Longest Winter Ever

Chapter 23

"She's gone"

I was broken, I lost the only one that held me together.

"I can help you" a peculiar voice said.

"Who said that?!"

"Revan are you ok?"

I thought I heard a voice but it was Elvar.

"I just need some time"

I sat there just holding her lifeless body, hope this is a nightmare.

"Release me and I can end your pain" the same voice echoed.

"I said shut up!!"

"I didn't say anything?" Elvar said in confusion.

"Sorry I'm just, I don't know"

"I understand take your time and meet me at the local tavern"

"Ok"

I just couldn't bare to stand up. I managed to do it.

I dug a grave for her and did the proper ritual. A simple marking from her weapon.

After that I headed to the tavern. I just saw red, no other color mattered.

"Hey Revan, are you ok?" Elvar was concerned.

"I don't know"

"Well I'm sorry if that means anything"

"It does, thanks"

Have you ever felt on the verge of insanity, it feels as you loss your thoughts and who you are.

Your sense of humanity is even leaving through ever crevice in your body and soul.

"Inn keeper I need your strongest liquor"

"Revan are you sure you want to solve this with fire?" Elvar tried to stop me from an addiction.

"At this point I don't care, I just need something to keep my mind off"

"It won't help" Elvar persisted.

"I think deep inside I know that but I ignore that"

I drank the liquid and it just made the memory last longer.

"Let me ease your pain"

The voiced returned once again. It sounded familiar yet a complete stranger.

"Hey, you know I need to complete my mission"

"I know but why help the villain?" Elvar repeated the haunting phrase that Hansel said.

"I don't have a choice"

"I'm sorry I will stay out of your way"

I knew she would warn them.
No matter, I needed to find her but first Rose. That bitch will die slow and very painfully.

I tracked down the blood trail to and old building and climbed to a secluded area of the building.

Waiting for her was my goal and ending her life was my mission for the time being.

I must have waited for hours before she showed up, I guess trying to loss me.

She made contact will another bandit in the manor and I sprung my ambush.

I sliced the bandit into two and put Rose in a ranger hold.

"Good night bitch"

The voice returned further more.

"Let me have some fun, I can end your pain" the voice withered in to my mind.

And I let him.

After some time she woke up.
