~He gave himself up to save her~

He made the wrong choice now he had to pay the price.

√√√√√√√√

Careful little princess, careful little boy what you choose, for to consent, is to lose.

The dragon's mouth is wide, filled with bones. It reeks of death and human flesh.

With gold and diamond, he lures you in. 

He has beady pearls-flames for eyes, 

And like a sheep to the slaughter, you're served on a platter.

He never gets enough; for like a lion, he goes about seeking whom to devour—his sole desire.

So children, run, keep your concession, 

Or ye might be next. Ye have been warned.

Remember this tale...the serpent never sleeps.

The Concession

That was the recurring word ringing in his ears as he watched the end of the world play out right in front of him on tv, or rather the end of one of the most renowned countries in the world. 


Vaguely Will could make out Seth's voice talking to someone on the phone. 


"We'll be on our way." Seth cut the call then turned to him, "Everyone has agreed to meet at Joey's." 


Before William knew it, Seth had taken his jacket and was already out the door. 


Will hadn't even bothered taking anything except his Bible, a picture of Hope and his family, and Berry. 


It would be pointless to leave with more when he wasn't even sure they were going to make it out alive. Will would miss his apartment even though he'd been back only a few days. 


Seth was already making his way to his car and William quickly joined. 


This wasn't good. Will could see it written all over Seth's face.
