Screaming His Death

Ten seconds,
One thousand milliseconds,
One decision,
And I got it wrong.

Fifteen year old Caera Ferguson woke up screaming to the suffocating feeling that death was near.
Only minutes later, she was given an impossible ultimatum : her life or her parents'.
The decision she makes wraps her up in so much guilt, that she swears off any potential relationships.
Two years later and her heart has hardened entirely. She has grown so accustomed to limited human contact, that she no longer finds it desirable.
But this way of living is put to the test that dreaded day in the ally when she senses Cobi Dawson's death.
Normally she would keep clear of these inevitable deaths, in fear of having more blood on her hands.
But Cobi isn't letting her out of his grip that easily.
