Climber ran over to Alexandrite, and picked her up, he was crying, her skin was as pale as the whitest snow, her wings drooping, laying almost completely on the floor, And her eyes no longer had their sparkle, now.... Now they were as dull as the thickest fog. "DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ME!!" He shouted, hugging her, "don't you dare fucking leave me....." He muttered, sobbing, "I-I'm sorry... Climber, but... It's my time to rest....." Alexandrite said, blood trickled down from her mouth, "no... NO! What about our children?!?! What the hell will I tell them?!" He yelled, "tell them that I've gone to walk..... with my father..., my mother.... My brother... And my twin..... and I'm not coming...... back for.... a long..... Time.... I... I...... love...... you.... Climber...." Was the last thing she said, as she fell limp, and her eyes closed as she let out her last breath, "no... No.... NONONO.... NONONONONONONONO!!!! ALEX COME BACK!!! PLEASE!!!!" He screamed, tears flowing down his cheeks, his blonde hair fell into his face, but he didn't care, all he cared about was Alex at this moment, he continued to weep until he felt a hand in his shoulder, he looked up to see his older brother, Karl, "I'm dearly sorry climber.... But you have to face the fact that... S-she's gone now..... A-and she is NEVER coming back....." He sighed, "i understand how much you love her... But sometimes.... Those you love want you to be happy, they want you to move on, and you don't have to right away... But.... She would want you to eventually....." Climber set alexandrite's body down, looked away, and stood up, "I-I need stone alone time...." He muttered as he walked away, towards his room.
-three months later-
Climber was helping Topaz get her black dress on, "and.... There...." Climber smiled, "you look just like your mother sometimes, Topaz." "Thanks..." Topaz had a sad look on her face, and climber sighed, hugging her, "why did mommy have to leave...." Topaz sniffled, "b-because sometimes.... People have no choice, it's either sacrifice themselves.... Or the ones they love, your mother chose to sacrifice herself.... For she already knew she was sick....." Climber hugged topaz tightly, holding back tears, after a few minutes he let go, "n-now... Why don't you see what Zari and Rose are up to? Zari could help you with your hair," climber smiled, "okay," Topaz smiled lightly, climber began to wonder if he would ever see Topaz's old happy self again, he sighed, walking over to the mirror to fix his bow, he was wearing a black tux with a purple bow tie. "dearest Alex, I'm so sorry...." He sighed, staring at the mirror, after he finished fixing his bow he left the room to see what the others were up to, Karl stood off to the side, talking with Vixi, a sad look on his face, along with Vixi, Karl was wearing a black tux with a blue tie, and vixi was hearing a black dress with lace at the bottom of it, the dress still had sleeves but it didn't have the shoulder part, along with that she was wearing a black veil, her fur was a little bit messier than usual and she was wearing darker makeup, Zari was wearing a black bow in her hair, a black knee length dress with long sleeves, black tights, and black three inch high heels, she was helping Topaz and rose with their hair, then next he saw diamond sitting in the corner, weeping, she was wearing a black thigh length dress with black leggings, and Alexandrite's purple bow in her hair, Climber sighed, I'm so sorry Alex..... He thought, he zoned out and began thinking about how Alex had died, Climber was nearly killed, but Alex had saved him just in time, jumping in front of him, but she got shot in the stomach, she had collapsed half way to Vixi's lab, she also had stage two demon sickness, diamond had almost returned in time, but it was moments too late....
-an hour later-
Climber was able to look at alexandrite's 'sleeping' form once more, she was wearing a purple dress with a black accent, her casket was black, purple, and red. Mostly red and black on the outside, and purple on the inside, "Alex.... Alex was the best person I had ever met, she was sweet and funny, sophisticated but not afraid to get her hands dirty, and every other aspect that makes her.... Her.... That's the thing I loved most about her.... She..... She was never afraid to show the world who she was..... And... I knew that she was the one... The moment I laid my eyes on her, and... I was hoping this day was never to come.... But... Life isn't fair... Is it? It makes us suffer in the most terrible of ways.... Alex was never afraid to show the world what she had up her sleeve..... And sometimes I mean literally.... I'll miss that darling princess......." Climber said, beginning to cry, "thank you...." Climber went over to Karl and sat down beside him, watching as the ceremony contined, he wasn't sure what was going to come, or if he would ever get over Alex, one thing was for certain though.... Their love would never burn out, ever.
