Song: Time to Say Goodbye, from RWBY
========
Lelie
========
Lelie followed Saix through the Dark Corridor. Her breathing was heavy and labored. Her head and heart felt like they would burst.
Saix looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"That kid...he did something to me...my head hurts..." Lelie collapsed onto the ground.
"Lelie!" Saix exclaimed.
=~=~=~=~=
She fell by a large rock outcropping that hid her from the rest of the battle. She buried her head into the hands and cried. How did this happen?
"Lelie?" a soft voice asked. Lelie looked up to see Ava.
"Master Ava?" Lelie whispered.
Ava sat down next to her, gently putting a hand on her shoulder. "Please, Lelie, I told you to just call me Ava."
Lelie laughed slightly, "I suppose you did." She looked at her bloodied hands, now also wet with tears.
"Why are you here? I thought I told Luariam to take you with the other Dandelions," Ava said in a hushed tone.
"You told him to take me?" Lelie whispered.
Ava shrugged, "I suggested it."
Lelie sighed, blowing a piece of hair out of her face, "I wanted to stay here and fight."
"But you're in danger here." Ava protested.
"Isn't everyone?" Lelie exclaimed, looking at Ava. "How can I just leave you all behind and hide?!"
"Because you have to hide." Ava insisted, "You have to survive."
"You want me to! Please Ava, understand! This is what my heart told me to do!" Lelie yelled. Ava gasped, surprised. Lelie stood up, summoning her Keyblade.
"I've been given this," Lelie said, "I think I should use it."
Ava sighed, "I'm not going to be able to back you out of this, am I?"
Lelie grinned, "Nope."
Ava sighed again and stood up, "Well, I suppose I'll fight alongside you then." she said as she summoned her own Keyblade.
Lelie smiled at her friend, "Thank you, Ava."
Ava smiled back, "Just focus on staying alive."
Lelie winked, "I'll try."
Together, the rushed once again into the Keyblade War.
Or at least...that's what I thought we did...
(A/N: Also, start song if you want to)
Ava peeked out from behind the large rock, scanning the battlefield for a moment to run out. Lelie walked up behind her.
There's a point where it tips,
there's a point where if breaks,
and a point we just can't take, anymore.
"Alright, on the count of three run, okay?" Ava asked. Lelie nodded. Ava turned back to the battle. "Here we go, one, two-"
"Three," Lelie said. She thrust out with her Keyblade, slashing Ava across the back. Ava cried out. "Sorry, Ava," Lelie muttered as Ava's body started to fade. "I had to do something." Invi appeared, mouth agape.
