Shattered Fangs (Remastered)

Then it hits me.
What do you do when the one you love is lost forever? So close that you practically shared a heart, beating in sync.
We were going to share a future, an eternity. She had only asked me to share the present with her, but I was already ready to promise her my forever.
I was going to be her wife, working by her side to right the wrongs against our kind.
And then it was ripped away. My insides ruptured, a gaping hole in my chest, leaving me gasping for air, choking. I'm suffocating. But my body isn't even crying out for air- it betrays me. I lost the need to breathe a long while ago- because of her.
She saved me, why couldn't I save *her*?
I taste bile in my throat- surely this can't be real.
It can't be true. I must be imagining.
But it is. It is real.
I saw the building collapse in an explosion of fire. Nobody could survive that, advanced healing or not. Fire is the one thing that can destroy us entirely. If it had been anything else, she would have lived, but because of the flame, she died.
The words echo in my head, wrapping me in a cocoon of mental anguish.
*She's gone*.
*She's gone*...
Even the tug in my chest that always leads me to whatever I am looking for is gone, erased. I can't track her, so she really is gone.
*Dead*.
I wish it wasn't true. *I wish it wasn't true*.
