Chapter 55:Echoes of Despair

Her back arched and her head snapping backward as a foul scream burst from her throat.

Dark energy burst about her, enveloping her entirely.

I was pushed back with a force that slammed me into the ground.

Pain exploded through my body.

I gasped in my blurring eyes and my chest on fire.

And when I looked up, Emilia was there but her eyes—Her silver eyes were lost.

Just emptiness. Just blackness. Empty and lost.

And as she turned to me, a single tear running down her face, she said "I'm sorry Ethan"

She then disappeared into the night.

{Ethan's POV}

The moment she vanished the world was off.

Like something had been ripped off.

As if the air had lost its gravity.

As if the silence itself had become choking.

I was still on the floor, my chest afire, my entire body screaming with pain, but it didn't matter. None of it.

Because she was dead.
