A horrible shriek ushered from Ledger's lips, black liquid falling from his open mouth, as he clutched the device, it's bright white-purple light radiating from Ledger's hand.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" He screeched. Ezra and I watched as, like a disease, this pain seemed to affect all the turned Moonrisen Angels. Their screams, the screams of my friends, were almost too much to bear. I saw Violia, Chal, Theo, Delia, all my friends and those I loved scream in pain, their pale, near white skin, skin meant to reminisce the moon, crack like glass, and turn black like ash, dematerializing as such. And just like paper, the remnants of what was, and too me, always will be, the burnt memories of my friends. I felt as if I should honour their memory. But I couldn't. Violia and the others had made a choice, and there was no honour in dying in Hell. Their souls would be imprisoned for eternity probably.
"I hope you suffer," I began, growling, as I took a tentative step towards the decaying body of Ledger. "I hope you feel the pain we felt as you destroyed our race, took away those we loved, in the name of your selfish honour that you say you want to free us, but really is for your own selfish vengeance!"
"You...don't...know...what," he coughed out. "Your....doing."
"We know once this is over, you'll be dead, and nothing like this will happen." Ezra hissed coldly. Ledger clawed at the ground, trying to draw breath, looking blue, like a fish out of water.
"I do!" He heaved. "There's....more....evil....than you might....think! Hacked...this device...evil....lies within your own!"
This caught my attention. "What do you mean Ledger, and I grabbed the thinning, fraying material of his shirt, feeling like shards of paper, easily ripped. He was going to fast, we didn't have much time.
"Talk." I growled. When his eyes rolled up to his head, I thrust it even more. "TALK LEDGER!"
"Built an army...here....he's coming...he wants to be God!" Ledger exclaimed. "Blackmailed...me.....wanted me to deal with....Moonrisens. Promised me...freedom...from.....punishment."
"Who does!" But Ledger was running out, his face a graying cracked colour. "WHO!"
But Ledger at this point was delirious, continuously repeating "device...maker....device...maker."
And in my hands his body turned black with ash, and blew away. Leaving nothing but tattered clothes in my hands.
Ezra ran up, cheering. "We did it! Evaline this is great!"
I smiled discreet, Ezra hadn't heard what I'd said to Ledger. He kissed my lips passionately, picking me up, as I laughed.
"Come on." He murmured. "Let's go home."
****
A couple days later, we sat in a forest, overlooking the cliff where we'd first admitted any feeling for one another. Persephone came and went, saying I didn't have to return to my adopted family. Juliet Fontaine would die a memory. I was allowed to keep my wings full time, and as was Ezra as recompence for what we did for the Angels. I told Persephone of what Ledger told me, she waved it off as odd, saying she would look into it later, but for now it was time for everyone to have a little R&R.
I smiled, looking out into the first full sunset day I'd had in my life, Ezra's arm wrapped around my waist. He smiled and kissed my hair.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you." I murmured back. Life was perfect
