"No… this can't be… It shouldn't be now. We still had time…" was all Evie could mutter to herself. Her entire being was trembling now. Despair washed through her as she watched a tornado of darkness envelop her most beloved person right before her eyes. And there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Dark lightning began to fall all around them like rain, but Evie could not even bring herself to move. She felt that her heart and body had shattered at the same time. Everything was crumbling down – it was all going down the drain. She could not accept this. She refused to accept this.

"No!!!" the scream finally came out of her mouth. She curled forward in despair, both hands fisted and clutched at her chest.

A black lightning had struck right next to her, barely a foot away, making the ground tremble.
