The Undying Star
A star? I wasn't even close to being something as beautiful. But... undying? Yes. I was. Since death never ever accepted me into its embrace. So what if I live this story to its end one more time? Just one last time. I want to feel it, living, rather than death. Only once. What awaits me at the end of this never-finished draft, I wonder... Is it the cure to my curse, or yet another rebirth?
Why can't I?
Faint.
Distant...
-Papa! PAPA! Take me with you! Hurry up and take me with you!
A child's cry... but too distant and faint for him to understand. But the screams didn't cease. They echoed in his mind with no stop.
-Let me go!!!! I should go with Master!
-MASTER! PAPA! Why?
-Why did you leave me behind!?
-Papa...
Too faint... Dull and hard to hear...
-...a... pa...
Everything was. Too hollow.
Hic.
Hic! Hiccup!
"I'm telling the truth!"
Gasp. Hic.
"Please, believe me! I'm not lying! Please!"
Muffled yells were blended with unstoppable tears and loud sobs. It was as if it wasn't a human's cry but the screams of a burning soul. Like the last plead for help, the final resort for the hopeless boy.
"We used to be friends! We used to fight side by side!"
