Nakaka bingi.

Makaka praning.

Napaka gulo.

Riot and Death was everywhere. Davil El Familia is falling down. Blood and bullets are in every corner of the place, and in front of me was a savege being na nag papaulan din ng bala. I can't see a person anymore, his demon is taking control of his body now. His eyes were blank like he can see nothing else but Death and punishment. Nakatatakot ako, takot na takot pero I gathered all my courage and walked towards the scariest man alive. I hugged him from behind and he instantly froze.

"Please stop." I said with a trembling voice. I can't bare to see him being consumed by his darkness. He suddenly dropped his gun and turned to me. I can still see the bloodlust in his eyes but I know that he's coming back to his senses.

While we were distracted may tumulak sa aming dalawa causing us to trip off the huge window. Hawak ako ng isang kamay ni Axel at ang isang kamay niya ay naka kapit semento na halatang hindi din mag tatagal sa bigat naming dalawa. We were hanging off a four story building.

"Argh.... Ah! Hang on Cath, don't let go!" He said while struggling to hold us both. If the two of us fall from this hight both of us will surely die.

Parang gumuho ang mundo ko nang natipak ang tanging simento na hinahawakan ni Axel.

This is it. This is the end for us.

But the thought of death quickly faded away when someone grabbed Axel's hand to prevent us from falling. It was  Asher, at halatang nahihirapan siyang hawakan kami dahil sa bigat naming dalawa.

"Asher! We're too heavy, if the three of us fall were all gonna die!" I screamed at him at hindi niya ako pinakinggan. Halata sa mukha niya na ginagamit na niya lahat ng lakas niya para hindi kami malaglag.

"Bro let go." Axel said pleadingly at halatang naawa na siya kang Asher.

"No! Sure bad things happen... but the day will come when you look back at them and laugh! — Argh!" he said and I know na nauubos na ang lakas niya, but he still is not letting go.

"And untill that day comes, I won't let either of you die!"

After He said this he used all his might to pull us up. I felt my feet touch the hard floor again, at agad napa-upo si Asher sa sagid na halatang nanghihina. Agad namin siya tinulungan at pag harap namin ay bumungad sa'min si Alex.

Pointing a black and deadly thing at us... at Axel.

My instinct immediately kicked in at hinarang ko ang sarili ko sa harap niya.

"No." I heard him whisper.

Then a gunshot...

Parang nabingi ako sa putok ng baril. Naka tingin lang ako kang Alex habang hawak hawak pa din niya ang baril. Suddenly blood flowed out of his mouth at natumba siya sa sahig. Behind him was Giovanni holding a revolver pistol.

"ALEX!" Axel's voice echoed through the place and he ran towards his half alive drother. Tila natigil ang riot sa paligid at ibinaling nila ang atensyon sa magkapatid. Axel held Alex in his arms.

"Heh... from... From.. the beginning you were the always— always the best son, untill... the — the end ikaw pa din ang panalo." nanghihina na sabi ni Alex.

"Shut up! We'll get you to the hospital!" Alex was clearly panicking na tila hindi niya alam ang gagawin.

"S-sorry... for not being a good— good brother to you." Alex said even when he was struggling to talk. Parang pinipilit nalang niya huminga.

At that point lahat kami naka tingin lang sa kanila. My tears were falling from my eyes. Even after everything they both still love each other very much. Blood truly is thicker than water.

"Thank you Axel... I— I had fun." Alex whispered in his dying breath at unti unting pumikit ang mga mata niya.

"ALEEEX!" Axel screamed in agony and sorrow. Even at the last second they were still brothers.

Davil El Familia is now defeated. They are now in grief for the loss of their leader. The rivalry is over, Dauntless Regime has claimed victorious again. Davil El Familia has now fallen.

Axel stood up at turned to me. His eyes was full of misery, but he smiled. A bitter smile. I ran towards him, hoping to clasp him in my arms. But some stories really weren't ment to have happy endings. It's like we can fight for each other all we want but destiny won't allow us to rewrite the ending it already planned out for both us. I was right there, malapit ko na siya mahawakan, but I guess fate really is unfair.

Everything turned into a blurry and deafening scenario, and I felt an intense pain on my chest as my body was collapsing to the ground. Edina was in the corner of my eye holding a gun.

"Hell no! This can't be fucking happening! Catherine!" Axel's voice was blurry in my ears, and I used all the strength I had left to look at him. The tears from his eyes dripped on my face... he's crying. The most powerful Axel Del Valle is shedding tears for me.

I flash of memory came back to me. My entire life... I was never a good person. All I ever did was beat the shit out of people, got myself stuck in the middle of a gangster rivalry, got my bestfriend killed. Then I wondered if I ever truly lived, did I enjoy my time here on this earth? Well at least I've got the chance to meet this wonderful man.

Maybe what they say was true, a person really thinks of his memories and experiences before he dies. But at least he's with me before I close ny eyes.

"Get them! All of them!"

That was the last thing I heard when I felt my heart stopped beating. It was like all the pain I was feeling faded away. All the struggles, the sorrow, and the guilt was quickly taken off my sleeve. Maybe I wasn't really meant for him, maybe my one damn shot of a lifetime ends here.

Forgive me Quin... But I will be joining you soon.
