1 Odd / Eden 3 : Across the Universes

Chap. 18 : Tears

Author POV

In the lonely streets a cat was running through dark alleys ... crying.

A crying cat.

In a luxurious apartment three girls appeared...

It was cold ... a cold dark empty apartment...

Everyone were clearly down but they knew that it wasn't finish... they still have to face one last and painful thing.

It didn't take long for Cally to point shakily at one door ...

It was Yerim's room.

The door was half open, and barely lit by a desk lamp.

They couldn't make themselves to walk and watch the hurtful sight... they stood there frozen in place...

Kimlip sighed deeply and took the initiative to walk in...

She entered and saw Yerim laying on the bed, eyes closed, pale face and barely still breathing...

She was already feeling tears threatening to fall but she had to be strong, just a little while more...

She sat next to the sleeping girl, and pat her head lovingly...

The two others walk in too ...

Cally was sobbing already and stood at the doorway, wiping her eyes again and again.

Jinsoul walked closer and sat on the floor just in front of Yerim... holding her hand and caressing the back of it.

They knew they had failed, they were supposed to save her but now they can only watch life being taken away of the younger girl...

They shouldn't have messed around fate ... it always have an upper hand

Regret...?

Yes they are regretting... but would they travel back in time ... no they have taken a decision and they have to follow it.

Kimlip felt her left eye sting ... so does Jinsoul...

Cally from the doorway gasped...

-"Y-your eyes." She said and point at the two...

Kimlip looked at the vampire and frown when she saw who was next to her ... Choerry...

Jinsoul saw it too and stood up quickly ... looking intently at Choerry

It was a silent question but Choerry knew what they were asking and answered with an hoarse voice

-"I don't want her to see me like this... she have suffered enough, I prefer her to think I already died."  She said

Cally couldn't hear a thing but knew that something here was strange...

-"That's not a good idea... if you wanna say good bye do it now ..." Replied Kimlip at Choerry

-"What are you talking about ..?" Asked Cally not understanding what's happening now.

-"She's right..." Agreed Jinsoul

Choerry sighed and suddenly appeared, Cally jumped at the sudden apparition... but when she took a look at the girl she broke down...

-"Yo-you ... a-a" Cally couldn't formulate a proper answer

Choerry looked at the other vampire and just smiled through the pain... the physical pain and the emotional pain... it wasn't her purpose to make her cry...
