"How's she doing?" I asked Rory, holding the phone to my chest as I swallowed back tears. "She's still fading. Any luck on your end?" he asked somberly. I shake my head and gently place the phone into the cradle. "No. They still aren't answering," I whisper as I move to sit next to Rory at Kira's feet. I can't choke back my tears as she becomes more and more translucent. It's only a matter of moments before she fully fades. 

Rory has held Kira's hand this entire time. I reach over and take his free one with one hand, and her free one with the other. It's a little awkward, but I don't care. Tears fun down my face as the girl I'd come to love more than anything faded into nothingness. It was only a second before Rory pulled me into a hug. I could feel his tears drip down onto my hair and I knew he was crying too, although I could feel him struggling not too. She was gone. She'd flared and faded away.
