Hope (part three)

"Francis," Nayla and Alexander yelled in unison and ran to the edge of the volcano. Francis's body was already in the lava.

Alexander's felt the last piece of himself that remained intact after the incident in the past break into pieces. All of him was dependent on Francis coming back but now he would never have to see Francis again.

She regretted her decision to mess with destiny to try to bring Francis and Alexander together. There was no greater pain in the world than pushing the one you love to their end and she felt that pain.
