Grief

Michael's POV

"The Queen Passed away"

Those were the words that changed everything that's happening right there. Personally speaking, I never liked her. Yet, her death seemed harder to digest. All this that we were doing, it was to save her right? Victoria and Cassie, their desperation stemmed from saving their own mother… then what now?

I looked at Cassie and Victoria who stood there still, frozen… devoid of any expression while their eyes focused on some piece of ambient furniture. Should I say something? I knew I wanted to, but what? What was the right thing to say? Speaking from my personal experience, it was nothing. Nothing I say would make this situation any better.

Meanwhile Sofosys simply seemed to be lost in his own deep thoughts, glancing at the girls from time to time. And Jake… he kept looking at me as if waiting for me to make the next move. "We must go see the queen," Declared Sofosys, once his trance broke.
