A Dusk By Any Other Name (BoyxBoy)

XV: Earth to Letonin

~Jaide's P.O.V~

I watched in horror, the scene of Letonin slipping away from my grasp by Crepsus's gunshot. It felt painful, and slow to watch. I wished it were me taking the bullet instead.

He did this. He tortured me. He taunted me. And he put Letonin in a dream state. For probably the 3rd time now. I don't know how he did it... I just know that it wasn't an ordinary gun. Or at the very least, he hasn't used ordinary bullets.

He stood away from me, laughing.

I linked to Sendex.

"Kill the fucking bastard already."

He smiled, and brought out his weapon. Quickly wrapping his whip around Crepsus's throat.

Sendex will keep him busy. I need to save Letonin again.

Before I got in over my head, Sendex threw me a case of pills.

"Sleeping drugs, I had them in case Letonin needed a trump card, but you need those to get him out of there."

Crepsus turned to me with a sinister stare.

"What the hell are you up to?"

He took out his rake, but it was no longer just that... It was his reaper weapon all along. And it looked insanely dangerous now in it's fuller form.

But Sendex didn't let him get close to me, thank god. I trust Sendex enough to deal with him. But for now, it's time to sleep again. I took two pills from the case and placed them in my palm. I threw them in my mouth, and watched the scene black out before me.

My bedroom. No, Cyrine's house... Her bedroom. Is this a memory?...

"Fireflies glow in the wind."

I look over, and Cyrine is in the same room as me; singing an odd song.....

"Moon in the sky, brightest it's ever been."

"We are the stars tonight. So just take my hand and... we will all be fine."

Cyrine turned to me and smiled.

Now I remember that song... It's been a long while since I heard it that one time...

"That was a lullaby that my mom taught me when I was younger." She said.

"She was really sweet, wasn't she?" I say.

"Was? Jaide, she's alive and cooking dinner you weirdo."

"Oh! Sorry thats not what I-"

She grabbed my hair and shoved me onto the floor.

Okay, that is not how I remember this day.

"You foul human... your mental defense is as weak as they come. I can swallow you in this darkness just as easily as the one you came to save. Tell me, did you think you could simply walk up to him?"
