Promises

~

          I took a deep breath, stopping in my place. Emma continued to lead the kids back. I stayed in the back with the stranger that was with us.
Whose name and gender I had no idea of T_T

{ We're going to help as many as we can... to run away from the demons. We're not going to get them killed. We're going to protect the kids. At least... the ones we can reach.
And we're going to survive this }

~

          Emma's eyes lit up as did mine.
"It's over..."
we both muttered.

I looked around the small village. There were others here.
"Is anybody hurt?"
"If you are, come this way!!"

They had proper first aid...

"Theo!"
Emma then said.
"Let's go find him!"
I smiled.

She nodded and we went off.
Soon, we found the small boy.

"Theo! Monica! Jake!!"
Emma called out.

Emma smiled and stopped me once she spotted him.
I smiled.
"Hey..."
Emma said, going over to Theo.

He fell to his knees.
"Emma... Y/n..."
He muttered.

Her eyes went wide and I rushed over to him.
"Where are Monica and Jake?"
we asked softly.

"Both of them are dead... They were killed.
It's my fault. All my fault,"
he shook as he spoke.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jake.
Sorry Monica.
I lost my brother! And my sister!"
he cried.

Emma started to shake as well.
I hugged her tightly, resting my head on her shoulder.

          Emma and I both sat at some stairs, heads buried in our arms.

Emma and I didn't do anything, we were silent.

"Are you depressed? But this is how it is. Someone dies each time,"
the stranger said.

"We lost Jake and Monica... but you both saved many others.
You guys did well. But there are times when even your best isn't enough,"
they told us softly, resting their hand on Emma and I's shoulder.

~

My grip tightened on my arm.
{ "My name is Leuvis. Now, don't just run away. Come hunt for me too," That's his response... }

Sooo this is another damned short chapter.
This means oneshot time.

Thank a wonderful reader for this suggestion.

TW: Suicide Mentioned/Kinda happens?
Eh, onto the story!
Cue the music!

~

Just as I was about to take my shoes off
On the rooftop there I see...

A girl with braided orange hair here before me
Despite myself, I go and scream
"Hey, don't do it please!"

{ Whoa, wait a minute what did I just say?
I couldn't care less either way }
To be honest, I was somewhat pissed
This was an opportunity missed

The girl with braided orange hair told me her woes
You've probably heard it all before
"I really thought that he might be the one
But then he told me he was done..."

"For God's sake please! Are you serious? I just can't believe
That for some stupid reason you got here before me
Are you upset cause you can't have what you wanted?
You're lucky that you've never gotten robbed of anything!"

"I'm feeling better thank you for listening..."
The girl with braided orange hair then disappeared

~
The Next Day
~

{ Alright, today's the day! } Or so I thought 
Just as I took both of my shoes off

There was but a boy short as can be, with white hair perfect for me
Despite myself, I go and scream
The petite boy told me his woes
You've probably heard it all before

"Everyone ignores me, everyone steals
I don't fit in with anyone here"

"For God's sake please! Are you serious? I just can't believe
That for some stupid reason you got here before me
Cause even so, you're still loved everyone at home
There's always dinner waiting on the table, you know!"

"I'm hungry," said the boy as he shed a tear
The boy short as can be then disappeared

~

And like that, there was someone everyday

A girl with long purple hair and beautiful eyes.

A boy with blazing red hair and toothy grin.

A girl smart as can be.

A boy tall and strong.

A man with wild eyes and a trustable smile.

A girl with perfect long braids. 

~

I listened to their tale
I made them turn away.

And yet there was no one who
Would do this for me, no way I could
Let out all this pain

For the very first time, there I see
Someone with the same pains as me...

Having done this time and time again
He wore a yellow cardigan

"I just wanna stop the scars that grow
Every-time that I go home
That's why I came up here instead,"
That's what the boy in the cardigan said

{Whoa, wait a minute what did I just say?
I couldn't care less either way }
But in the moment I just screamed
Something that I could not believe
"Hey, don't do it please!"

"Ah what to do?
I can't stop this boy, oh this is new
For once I think I've bitten off more than I can chew
But even so please just go away so I can't see
Your pitiful expression is just too much for me!"

"I guess today is just not my day."
He looked away from me and then he disappeared

~

The Next Day

~

There's no one here today, I guess it's time
It's just me myself and I

There's no one who can interfere
No one to get in my way here...

I can't stop the pain that grows.
I can't stop the abuse.
I can't stop the tears that grow.

Taking off my yellow cardigan
Watching my braids all come undone
This petite girl, short as can be
Is gonna jump now and be free

"Hey, don't do it please!"
I heard someone scream.
My hand was caught and there I see...

~

Suicide was never the answer,
but it's the answer I took. 

~

auhhghgjgasjgduga
Okay, ignore that last part, Suicide is never the answer

It's a sensitive topic for me, but if you ever need to talk, I'm here, and I will listen.

Everyone deserves the be loved and heard.
Well, that's what I believe anyway.
