Epilogue - deep within

Daemon stood on the bridge, swaying slightly, tears rushing down her already damp cheeks. Her soft dark hair glowing with the light of the sun. Her wide green eyes had a glazed over expression which portrayed how distraught she was. She watched as Shadow tried to take the route she had only a few days before. She felt so helpless knowing she couldn't stop her and oh so very guilty knowing that it was her fault that Shadow was about to do it. 'Shadow!' exclaimed Daemon, trying desperately to make contact with her distraught best friend, but as usual she wasn't heard. 'Shadow!!!'she tried again but again with no reply. 1

Shadow stepped up onto the ledge, her hair flying madly behind her. The blood red jagged marks on her arms looked angry against her pale skin. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks as she contemplated whether to jump.2

Daemon willed her not to, she pleaded with the air, with the earth, with the water, anything to stop the inevitable It wasn't fair on Shadow to die because of her she thought with pity echoing around her. Shadow stepped off, and began falling into the pale shimmering mass that was to be her death.3

Daemon flew after her, her weightless body gliding easily. She braced her self for the pain that was never going to come. By the time she had hit the bottom she had known it was too late, that Shadow's body would be in shock and her heart would of stopped beating. 4

Daemon sat down on the muddy bank not knowing what to do anymore, the guilt racked her more than she had expected it to, she just couldn't believe that she had done it. Done it because of her. She then regretted what she had done, the pain she had caused the others but as she had always said she couldn't undo what can't be undone.5

She suddenly heard her name being called and turned around with tears rolling down her face. She gasped, she couldn't believe it. Behind her with long shiny black bedraggled hair and soaking wet clothes stood Shadow smiling down at her 'I always told you I'd follow' she whispered not caring about a thing. Like Daemon she had gotten her end.6

    That was a nice story. I don't think I would have posted as many of those faces, but whatever. Keep up the good work in writing stories. It's something I'm terrible at, poetry is definitely my bag. Hope to read more of your stuff soon.
