Solice The Night

First topic message reminder :

Anthony stood on a rock in the middle of the woods staring up at the stars as if trying to read each one. Sighing he found his thoughts quite distracted again. "Sarah." He called her name quietly hoping she would come to him on call.

"Wake up!" She begged and shook him a bit harder.

Anthony didnt respond to her gestures.

Sarah slapped him in the face and continued to try and wake him. "Brook!"

Brook appeared and looked down at Anthony not quite sure what to say or do.

"What do I do?" She asked quickly, looking up at her with tears still streaming from her eyes.

"I think there can only be one angel of death if I'm correct." Brook responded kneeling down beside Anthony. "He'll be up there with me."

"No, no." Sarah shook her head immediately. "I'll be an angel. I don't think he could handle leaving this life." She said quickly.

Anthony only coughed and blinked. His eyes were now a glowing golden and rather than his black wings they were pure white. He glanced at Sarah a bit saddened. "I feel happier." He admitted. "But If it means leaving you I'd rather be damned to hell."

Brook looked at him curiously. "Anthony you do know we can't be without an angel of death."

"No, I want you to be happier." She said quickly and looked at Brook. "I'll do it then."

"No." Anthony growled and reached for her hand but he found when he touched her it felt as if he had been electrocuted. He pulled away immediately.

"There's another option." Brook said and lifted a hand where a sphere of water spun revealing a boy. "Athos is his name."

Sarah frowned. "I don't want to have to take his life."

"He'll be the next angel of death when you do it." Brook informed her and helped Anthony onto his feet.

Anthony panted lightly as if he were exhausted of the transfer.

"I can't, he is someone's child." Sarah said gently and gave Anthony a sorrowful look.

"Don't do this to me Sarah, you've been with me for too long." Anthony raised his voice.

Brook put a hand on Anthony's back rubbing lightly.

Sarah winced at his words but turned to Brook. "I'll do it. I wont make some kid go through this."

Brook nodded curtly and slowly began to fade out.

Anthony's gaze widened and he grabbed Sarah's hand. Despite the pain coursing through his body from the interaction he didn't wanna let go. "No!" He sneered through the pain or electrocution.

"Anthony you have to." Sarah told him sadly. "Go on and save people ok?" She said and pulled her hand away, afraid she would start to feel the same pain.

Anthony only glared at her.

Sarah shied away from his glare and turned her gaze onto the ceiling.

Anthony faded away after only a few seconds.
