Williams.

"FUCKKKKKKKKK!" I screamed as tears streamed down my eyes like a waterfall.

"Sora, calm down. There's nothing we can do for Williams now. All we can do is move forward." Astrid said.

"WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW, ASTRID? WILLIAMS MEANT SO MUCH TO ME!" I screamed.

Astrid put her hand on my shoulder and said, "I know that it's hard, but you have to be strong. Williams wouldn't want you to give up. He would want you to keep fighting."

I swung her arm off my shoulder and stepped away. "If I were to kill a close friend of yours, how would you feel? You would FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO!"

Astrid looked at me with a sad expression on her face and said, "I know that it's hard, but you have to be strong. You have to keep fighting. If you give up, then Williams' death will be in vain."

I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. "I won't let his death be in vain. I will keep fighting. I will make sure that The Voidwalker pays for what he's done."

I walked over to Williams' body and kneeled down next to him. "I'm sorry sir, I let you down once again."

"Sora, we need to get out of here. We can't stay here any longer." Astrid said.

As I mourned the death of Williams, everyone ran over to me and saw the horrid sight.

"Sora, what happened to Williams?" Remi asked.

"He sacrificed himself for me. The Voidwalker killed him." I replied.

Leo grabbed my shirt and tried to hold himself back from crying. "HOW COULD YOU LET HIM DO THAT?!" He screamed.

"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH! I KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE. I WAS USELESS IN THAT FIGHT, it should have been me." I yelled.

"Sora, you need to be open with us." Enzo said.

I glanced over at Enzo. What would he know about anything. This guy is the epitome of uselessness. In fact, I've never seen this guy go on a mission before. Why would he scold me? "Enzo, shut your fucking mouth."

Enzo looked at me and said, "I don't think you're ready to accept the truth yet, Sora. You have to open your mind and see what's really going on."

I got up and grabbed Enzo by his collar. "Listen, if you say one more thing to me, I'll snap your neck."

Enzo stared into my eyes with a blank expression on his face. "You wouldn't do that. You're not a killer."

I glared at him and said, "You don't know what I'm capable of. I've seen it all at this point, Enzo. Do not test my patience."

"Snap my neck, I don't care anymore." Enzo said, his expression remaining reserved.

I sat down on the ground and put my head in my hands. I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

I took a deep breath and wiped my eyes. I looked up at Enzo and said, "I'm sorry."

Enzo patted my back and tried to sympathize with me, I didn't deserve any sympathy. I was a terrible person, a horrible person, I couldn't even save the one person who believed in me.

"It's okay, Sora. Just take a deep breath and try to calm down." Enzo said.

"I'm sorry, Enzo. I shouldn't have said those things to you. I'm just... angry. I'm angry at myself for being so weak. I'm angry at The Voidwalker for killing Williams. I'm just... angry." I said as tears streamed down my face.

"I understand, Sora. I know that it's hard, but you have to be strong. You have to keep fighting." Enzo said.

I nodded my head and stood up. "We have to get out of here. We can't stay here any longer."

Half the school was destroyed by The Voidwalker, I doubt it would open up for the rest of the year so I guess we could say goodbye to our studies for now.

"Where are we going to go?" Remi asked.

"That's a good question, my room is probably destroyed from the fight." I replied.

Everything around me was in ruins, the school was an absolute disaster and there was nothing that we could do. I sighed and shook my head.

"I guess everyone go home for now, I'll be staying with you Leo." I replied.

"Sora, why are you coming with me?" Leo asked.

"I don't have anywhere else to go. My home is probably destroyed as well." I replied.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Leo said.

I smiled and patted his head. "Thanks, Leo."

"So, what do we do about Williams?" Enzo asked.

"We'll have to bury him somewhere, he deserves a proper burial." Astrid replied.

"Alright, let's get this over with. I need to go to sleep." I replied.

We gathered around Williams' body and lifted it onto our backs. We walked out of the destroyed school and began our journey to Leo's house. It was a long and tiring journey, but we made it.

"Hey, you guys are back!" Leo's mother said as she opened the door for us.

"We need to bury someone." Enzo replied.

"Oh my God! What happened?" Leo's mother asked.

"Williams was killed by The Voidwalker." I replied.

"Oh no... Leo isn't the Voidwalker-" Leo's mother said as tears formed in her eyes.

"Yes mother, he killed father and sister." Leo replied.

"We're going to bury him in the backyard." I said.

"Okay, I'll prepare the hole." Leo's mother replied.

We carried Williams' body to the backyard and placed it in the hole. I covered it up and stared at the dirt for a few minutes.

"This is all my fault. I should've been stronger." I said as tears streamed down my face.

"It's not your fault, Sora. You did everything you could." Enzo said.

"I still feel like I could've done more. If I had been stronger, Williams would still be alive." I said as my voice cracked.

"Sora, we can't change what happened. All we can do is move forward." Astrid said.

I wiped my eyes and nodded my head. "You're right. We have to keep moving forward."

"What are we going to do now? Where do we go from here?" Leo asked.

"I'm not sure. I guess we'll figure it out as we go along." I replied.

"Hey, you guys want some tea?" Leo's mother asked as she walked into the backyard.

"That would be great, thank you." I said.

Leo's mother walked over to us and handed us cups of tea.

"Thanks." I said as I took a sip of the tea.

"I can't believe this is happening." Leo's mother said.

"We'll find a way to stop him, don't worry." I said.

Leo's mother smiled and patted my shoulder. "I know you will. You're a strong boy, Sora. You have a lot of potential."

"Thanks." I replied.

Astrid looked at me and said, "It's time for me to take my leave, it was nice meeting all of you and I'm sorry I couldn't do more for Williams."

"Thank you for helping us, Astrid." I replied.

"No problem, I'll see you around." Astrid said as she walked out of the backyard.

Enzo looked at me and said, "I should get going too. My family is probably worried about me."

"Okay, thanks for helping us, Enzo." I replied.

"No problem." Enzo said as he walked out of the backyard.

Leo's mother looked at me and said, "Sora, you're always welcome here if you need a place to stay."

"Thank you. That means a lot to me." I replied.

Leo's mother smiled and nodded her head.

"Come on, Sora. Let's go inside and get something to eat." Leo said.

"Alright, let's go." I replied.

We went inside the house and sat down at the table.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Leo asked.

"I don't know. I guess we'll figure it out as we go along." I replied.

"I can't believe that The Voidwalker killed Williams. It just doesn't seem real." Leo said.

"I know, but we have to keep moving forward. We can't give up." I replied.

Leo nodded his head and said, "You're right. We have to keep fighting."

"Now that the school is destroyed, I'm not sure what to do with myself. I guess I can't be a student anymore." I replied.

"Yeah, we have to find a way to stop The Voidwalker." Leo said.

"Let's rest for now, we can figure it out tomorrow." I replied.

Leo nodded his head and yawned.

"Come on, let's go to bed." I said.

We walked into Leo's room and got into our beds.

"Goodnight, Sora." Leo said.

"Goodnight, Leo." I replied as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
