I Couldn't Save Her

Abby's body staggered, but she remained on her feet, her eyes wide in shock and pain. Her mouth, slightly agape, produced not a single sound of anguish. She slowly placed a trembling hand on Sebastian's massive shoulder, as if she could push him away if she mustered enough strength. Levi's body felt cold all over and his heart was gnawing and wrenching itself.

Sebastian wiped away the blood that Abby had just involuntarily coughed out onto his face. He leaned in further, sinking the blade deeper until more than half of it could be seen protruding from the other side, prompting Abby to finally make a sound. But her anguish came out as a soft squeak, similar to a gentle moan.

He finally pulled the blade out, followed by a sickening sound and letting Abby's body become independent on the ground. However, her legs quickly buckled, and she dropped to the ground with a thud, bringing silence to the site.
