Specters : A Collection of Short Stories

Frozen : Addison :

   I pushed myself from the ground, blood running down my face, pain seering down my side. I clenched my hands, trying to see through the blurry vision. "Please." I cried out, seeing the slightest bit of movement. I tried my best, holding out my hand. The familiar tingling sensation would fill my body. "Please please please please." I would cry out under my breath. I would feel pain spread through my chest, but i couldn't do anything about it. "I'm sorry." i would mumble, holding back the tears as everything around me slowly turned cold.

 I raised my head, trying my best to smile through the pain, and I would see his figure. Fire sprouting from his hands, eyes burning like magnificent embers.  His voice would fill the void. "As a fellow specter i thought you might of been strong, seems like i was mistaken." He would laugh moving forward. " I would send my regards, but why should I. You would have died with me here or not. And you knew that."

 I would try to stop the tears, I already knew i was going to die, He was right. "Why.... are you doing this?" I'd spit out, my vision blurring. "Why did you come... why did you..."

I would fall down, feeling the pain in my heart grow. "Pl..." I tried to start, before he moved forward. His foot would stop infront of my face.

"I cant help you. You should have known this." He said, his voice hurting me more and more. I knew that he wasn't wrong. All my life i was taught this could happen, and now here i am. On the ground, moments away from death. "You could have stopped this all sooner, you could not be in this position." He said, leaning forward. " What about the people that loved you? Your friends. Your family. What about your squadrant. How will they all feel about this?"

 "Th..." I tried my best to get it out, feeling every single part of my body be consumed by the cold. "They." I looked up at the darkened sky. "Never l..... liked..." I would move my hand up "Me..."

Silence filled the air, him just staring at me. Thoughts rushed through my head. I never got to say goodbye. I never got to help him. I never got to prove to him that I was there for him. With each thought i felt the cold cling to me. I felt the coldness in my head sharpen, blossoming with pain. I tried to hold back the tears but the came out. Each tear left a frozen path, solidifying that it was soon to be over.

 I would try to raise my hand to him, but he bat it away scoffing. And there I was, seconds away from eminent dying. And i felt one emotion feel me. All i felt was hope for the future, for the future without me. For Xenoi, for my one friend. And then i hoped for him to forget about me, as i felt my blood freeze slowly. "Im sorry..." i coughed out, pulling myself into a ball, relishing in the pain.
