87

They died one after the other. When more died trying to form a protective circle around me... just- ugh... I feel a knot in my throat. Just- more and more died.

Each of them were nameless, each of them were summoned seconds after the other... each of them are a precious part of me. They're mine... all of them... they're all mine.

So- so they sho- should die for me... Yeah, if... if I live then their deaths are just, are right..

But my this knot in my stomach doesn't agree with those thoughts. It doesn't. As another wave of her hand brings death to more just trying to protect me.

I look desperately, even as my vision turns gray at the loss of blood. Any wound that I try to heal is swiftly turned back into a wound.

She's playing with her food at this point.

Her feet clack against the ground. Rough claws that dig into the asphalt.

She steps over the corpses of my creations. Her eyes are listless, as if this was a routine for her.
