Etienne opened her eyes to see flames dancing in front of her. It took her a moment to comprehend what was going on and finally realize that the flames danced around what used to be Milo's house. Her childhood home.
"See my darling..."
A relief hit her at the name, but when she turned Milo was not the one speaking.
"We have found your monster and we have destroyed him."
"Where is my child?" Etienne spoke in a panic.
"He wasn't there."
"No, you aren't right. You..."
Before she could finish the sentence, he slipped out a knife and stuck it into her stomach.
She wanted to cry out in pain, but he reached over and covered her mouth.
"Our life could have been beautiful together, but you ruined it by choosing the wrong side. I can only pray that your soul gets mercy for your actions."
Tears streamed down her face onto Harken's hand. After a moment he pulled back the tears setting his skin on fine.
"Marisol my baby I love you."
The darkness was closing in around her. A calmness washed over her. She knew that the light would engulf her next and she anticipated what must be waiting for her. As she breathed her last breath a small string of light escaped her mouth captivating Harken's attention. He had never seen anything so beautiful. It was long and danced around like it was in water. Harken's mind was engulfed he could barely think of anything else except how much he wanted to reach up and grab hold of it. Maybe he could capture it and keep it with him forever. A roar cried out in the night pulling Harken out of his state of awe. As much as he wanted to stay to keep watching his fear got the best of him and he ran off.
