With My Second Chance, I’ll Save You

“Ana, you’ve been looking at me a lot, is there something on my face?” “…No, it’s nothing, Lulu’s face is cute so I just want to look at it more.” Lucia’s hold on my arm tighten as she giggle and lay her head on my shoulder, burying her face inside my hair. I look towards the window, where the bright stars twinkle amidst the dark sky. I then return my gaze towards Lucia, who’s happily humming as she tangle her fingers through the mess that is my hair. I was then reminded of the terrible fate that awaits us. Lucia was going to die. And I’m the one who will take her life. ——————————————————————————— In another lifetime, underneath a sky as bright and beautiful as this, they have already walked to end of the road that fate had paved. Blood stained the green grass underneath them a dark crimson, and Lucia lay next to her, arms limply draping across her torso with a serene expression. It was so morbidly beautiful and poetic that Anastasia couldn’t help but choke on her tears. How cruel, how unfair, why is it that things have turned out this way? Anastasia couldn’t cry out and could only silently weep as she held onto the bloody dagger that is stained with the blood of her best friend. “Let’s meet each other again, and watch the stars… Underneath a kinder sky…” Steeling her resolve, Anastasia drove the dagger into her chest and whispered a promise.
