Chapter 11
I charge at Guy, my mind locking into combat mode. I kick him in his back, forcing him to the ground. I fight off the guards with my brother, just like the old times. Guy scrambles onto his feet, charging at me. His moves are clumsy. I grab his arm, trying to stab me. I twist it, kicking the sword out of his hand. I hear the snapping of his arm, as I do I throw him backwards. I dont even turn, I just race to where Allen was fighting. Little John and Much are standing over something. Guards lie on their backs and face by their feet. I slow down and stand next to them. I see Allen lying on the ground... Dead...
I drop next to his body, shaking. I kiss his cold hand, tears streaming down. I close his eyes. The eyes that were filled with so much life. Robin jogs over and sees Allen. His faces is stone. No one says anything. Everyone seems to be lost. Lost in their on grieving. I rub his lifeless hand, hoping to hear one of his terrible, terrible jokes. I put one of my swords into the ground, propelling me up. I leave it there, noting returning to it. I walk slowly away. Tired.
Tired of losing everything that I dreamed of. Tired of seeing death. Tired of this game.
I enter Shesrwood forest, keeping walking. I sit down next to the river, where he first said his terrible joke.
Im done.
Done of losing everything I hold dear.
Done of doing the right thing.
I look into the water, all the voices of everyone I lost calling my name through the water. I walk into it, not caring for my clothes. I kneel into the water, the tears coming uncontrollably. I cry.
Cry for everything I lost.
Cry because doing the right thing is so hard.
I cry because I want to end my life.
I look into the water, seeing my reflection.
I wipe my tears.
"I'm done."
I take a deep breathe and submerge under water.
