Touched By An Angel

Ink Battle

*YOUR POV*

I hoisted the axe above my head as Alice gripped her sword, and Tom grabbed his own axe. The ink creatures raced towards us, a hundred swarming each of us. I chopped with my axe left and right, swinging it in circles and occasionally down on the creatures. I could barely even tell them apart; they all blended together in a giant mass. Somewhere near me, I could hear both Alice and Tom fighting as well, and I hoped they weren't hurt. I noticed the stronger creatures had glowing eyes and helmets, and it made me wonder if they were once workers here, just like me. I pushed the thought away, fighting, until, as quickly as they came, they were gone. I looked around, confused, and Alice did the same, before turning to me. She gestured to the doorway. "Well, Y/N, think you can lead the way?" I nodded and turned, striking the boards with my axe, and breaking them. I stepped through and saw a chasm below me, with only a few boards to walk on. I cautiously moved onto the first board, which held my weight. I walked past it onto the second one. It held me, until I put both feet on it, at which point, it gave out. I braced myself to fall, but a hand grabbed mine with a shout. "Y/N!" I looked up. Alice. She was clutching my hand tightly, kneeling on the other board. But I could see her tilting. I smiled sadly.

"Alice, you have to let me go. You'll fall too. Please. I can't let you die for me." Alice simply stared at me, tearing up.

"No. No! I left you once. And I swore I wouldn't leave a loved one again!" She looked up at Tom. "Tom. I'll find my way back to you. But she's what I fought those creatures for. I can't lose her. I'm falling, hard. And I'm going with her." Tom nodded as Alice pushed off the board, still holding me, and we both began to fall.
