We're drowning in the ominous silence.
The silence that comes before we prepare for battle.At this point we go all in or we're done for.
Luna rips out her dagger and pushes me behind her as I'm defenceless.
She fiercely fights off the elves who come near and attack us .The ground is a pool of blood and Luna's single-handedly ripping apart each of the elves.I stare at her as she protects me by swinging around her dagger thickly coated in syrupy blood.
Suddenly elves start dropping from the trees towering over us. Each of the elves slide down the ivy green vines catching Luna off guard making her fall on the ground.This leaves me un protected and I attempt to tend to Luna while hitting the elves.
But to no surprise, I'm weak and unarmed so my efforts are wasted.
Four elves corner me and stand on each side of me grabbing me as I try to squirm out of their grasp.One of the elves snatch my rose necklace off of my neck and I let out a desperate scream.
I still had faith in that rose, it was the second thing that was protecting me and it's been taken away from me.
In rage I pull the dagger away from Luna's hands after I hide her behind a tree.I charge at the elves stabbing their rubber skin and piercing their eyes.
I can't stand them snatching my hope off of me.I reach the tree in which the elf hid with my rose. Dodging the corpses on the ground and anxiously climbing up the tree I Come face to face with none other than…..him…
He's standing in front me again , and I get the same feeling all over again…
"Luka?" I whisper as I make my way slowly towards him.
His wings and clothes are all stained with bright crimson blood.The same blood that disgustingly illuminates the atmosphere. His hair on the other hand,is soaked and his bangs hang in front of his eyes, dripping with blood.
I gasp while shaking as I look at how worn out and ruined he is.
I start swaying and I suddenly drop helplessly onto a thick branch in front of me.I'm still conscious but not strong enough to stand up on my feet.
I lay there as my hand let's go of Luna's dagger and I close my eyes in a victory that feels more like defeat.
I feel Luka rushing toward me as he picks me up and places me onto his back carrying me down the tree and taking me to where I hid Luna.
"JEM! Wake up! Are you okay?!" I can hear a muffled voice that belongs to Luna ring through my ear.
I slightly open my eyes to see her standing with Luka off to a corner glaring at him with a dagger raised to his neck.
"no….don't…hurt him.He's on…our side."I repeat a few times as I bite my lip and suck my teeth from the wrenching pain.
She let's go of the dagger and both of them rush towards me.
