Zcyhie Elizabeth's POV

As far as my eyes could see, there was a large, black gate that seemed brand new, released just before days. It had a beautiful metal craft engraved on the gates and had a mixture of faint smell moss and lavender. It had been weeks after the encounter. I cried and mourn to sleep. But I needed to be strong.

I let a sigh the moment I climbed down from the car. The corner of my lips turned up the moment I touched the gate. It had no lock as I tried to open it. It was new but it seemed like old that instantly gave in as I opened it very easily. My eyes furrowed as it gave a high-pitched creaking sound that sent a shiver down my spine. But because of my courage, I walked through it.

I scanned my eyes towards the cemetery, Stygian Realm. My eyes darted through the hundreds of tombstones around me and each everyone was bearing the name of a soul who once lived. With all my courage, I took a step ahead and the centuries-old marble tiles creaked under me. I'm sorry.

I took a gripped at the basket full of flowers and roses as I walked ahead. At the other side, I saw an extensive graveyard. A foul stench filled the heavy air and the sound that I could hear was the rustling of dry leaves and my footstep. I glanced at my back, Clement was walking behind me. I had to walk fast. I smiled when I saw my Andrew's tomb.

I glanced back at Clement, he sat on the top of an empty area and as he seemed to stare at me. I snatched up my bag as I sat down at the green lawn. I placed a basket full of flowers and lighted a candle.

The corner of my lips turned up and asked, "How's your fucking life, Andrew?"

"Are you happy?" I added, still locking my eyes at his tomb. "How many chicks have you met there? or I say, fishes?" I let soft laughs filled the air.

"I hope you're happy." I sat despite the dirty surface of the grass. "You see, I'm living the hell out of here." I continued, crossing my arms.

The wind blew, leaving strands of my hair fly away. "And with that I miss your goddamn stories about myths and stuffs whenever I fell down," I said as I lighted his candle once again.

"But dang, you knew I loved you right?" I drew a long breath as I wrapped my arms around myself. "Always remember that you will always have this place in my heart."

"But I'm stuck between this two idiots," I uttered as I shook my head.

My breath quickened, sighed. "Life keeps messing up. I suppose I'd just pinpoint who's way worst."

"I want to update you every day, just like yesterday. When you're still you and we're still we," I whispered, as I relaxed my shoulders. "But shit happens, Evans was also gone. I won't let life messed me up once again." I added.

"Thank you... a lot." I flashed a wide genuine smile before I bid goodbye.

I stood up moving further into the cemetery, along with a fresh chill from my spine. I surveyed the grayish white head stones dotted the landscape before me. It felt like any moment, ghostly sentinels would wake up from their eternal slumber.
