Sacrifice.

To be or not to be

I look down at Emmy's lifeless body in my arms, her eyes are still open and staring-it's disconcerting, so I close them. Now she could be sleeping. But I know she will never wake up. Tears are slowly welling up in my eyes... But I blink them away quickly. I cannot give DarkLix the satisfaction of seeing me crumble. She is staring at me as if confused and thoughtful, but it has to be a trick. DarkLix never thinks before she attacks - For her, it's always straight in for the kill. Suddenly, to the surprise she doesn't pounce, she speaks:

"I've never understood you Katy, your just too.... Nice. I'm going to kill you Katy - I'll make sure of that. But I'll give you a head start for once - just to dispose of Ana and Emmy...but be warned I am coming for you and you will meet the same sticky end as these two." She spits on the ground before my feet, goes to pick up the unconscious Alaska, dragging her by her arms and sprints off into the trees and vanishes into the darkness. No...not another one. What is she going to do with her? One word. Torture.

I think DarkLix must be ill. She doesn't do mercy. Or is it Martha? Is Martha fighting back? No, Martha's gone, like... Like Emmy.

I fall down hard on my knees, tears streaming unstoppable from my eyes. All of my friends are dying or being tortured in the cold, lethal hands of DarkLix and I am her next victim.

I will fight and die dignified death - no pleading for life. When it comes I will not cry, or scream or struggle I will just stare into the vermilion eyes of my enemy and tell her what a physcopath she is.

But when I look down at Emmy's limp body, still slowly, drip. Drip. Dripping, magenta - and those brave thoughts slip through my fingers like they had turned into smoke. You can't catch smoke.

Sadness creeps into my bloodstream and mind like freezing ice water until my whole body is numb with the pain of unbearable depression.

I close my eyes and hope for death, but when I close my eyes the image of Emmy's blood streaming from her body..and her eyes staring and glazed. Then I remember DarkLix's last words before she ran into the forest..."dispose of Ana and Emmy..."

As fast as a lightening strike I sit up and slowly get to my feet and carefully sling the two body's onto my shoulders and set off for the edge of the forest where there is a beautiful meadow full of flowers and sunlight. I need to escape the darkness of the trees.

I reach the place setting down Emmy's limp frame and Diana's right next to hers. I may not of liked Diana, but Emmy deserves to be with her. Even in death.

I decorate the two bodies in the flowers surrounding them, covering up the blood and their wounds as best that I can.

As I finish the numbness takes me over again as I see them lying there-together at last.

Then I realize.

I won't be able the cope with these memories. My life will go on as usual, but... Waiting at the back of my mind. The memories will ready. I can't live with that. I won't live with that.

"To be or not to be. That is very much the question." I choke out through my tears - I draw a knife from Diana's belt, lay down next to my friend and without hesitation plunge the knife into my heart.

Pain.
