Last Moments...

Darkness swarms and memories are the only thing flashing through my mind. Memories of pain, hurt, and sorrow. Voices overcome my soul, whispering, screaming, shrieking. Death is what they tell me, death is what they want... 1

A cold shriveled hand grabs the fagile child. "You're nothing, your worthless, your just the pain of your loved ones!" the voice screams louder after every word while it digs its corrupted claws into the child's shoulder. A grin spreads over its gruesome face when the child takes the cold steel so willingly, its time to finish this. "That's right, just finish it, prove God you were a mistake, destroy the pain you've created!" excitment filled its raspy voice. 2

As the child grabbed the cold hard steel, tears poured from her face. "Maybe I am just a mistake..."3

A light beam showered the room. The demon shrieked from the bright purity, and an angel soon stood in its place. Shocked all the demon did was stare, then its face filled with hate and let out an ear splitting scream. The angel whispered a few simple words into the child's ear, "You are worth so much and loved by many. Remember who you are and the truth many have spoken to you..." the angel stopped short then turned his attention to the shaken demon when he shrieked. 4

Angered and full of hate the demon rushed at the angel, knocking him back temporarily, then screamed at the top of its lungs to the child "Do it! Finish this!" 5

The child heard a small word of an encouragement, and remembered everyone whom cared. She hesitated with the gun and layed it down gently. "Maybe...". When she heard something scream in her soul, at scared her as an image of the disfigured monster flashed through her mind, she started crying... 6

After the demon's attempt the angel attacked, pulling a large shining sword from his jeweled sheathe and swung at the demon. The demon shrieked in pain when the sword ripped a large gash across its gruesome face. At the sound of the scream the child cowered and held the gun closer.7

Feeling victorious the demon yell at the child one more time, this time to her face "Do it, nobody loves you, nobody care, now pull the damned trigger!"8

The child cries even more and slowly puts the gun to her head, shaking, crying and not knowing what to really do. 9

The angel hits the demon hard sending gushes of its putrid blood everywhere, and the demon falls laughing "You've lost" it snickers and yells at the child one more time "Do it!"10

After paralyzing the demon the angel goes to the child and puts his hand on her shoulder and slowly pushes the gun down "It will be ok" he whispered with a genuine care in his voice. 11

The child is confused and feels a warmth and a kind voice, she pushes it away, "Lies!" she screams. Startled the angel feel like he is thrown back. 12

*Bang* 13

The child lies lifeless, bloodied and with only despair in her eyes. Infuriated the angel's eyes burn a bright white and completely destroys the demon who was snickering on the floor. 14

The angel falls to his knees, his holy tears fall upon the bloodied body, "I have failed...." he picks up the limp body, gently kisses her forehead then flies away....
