༄---------------༄ tw: blood, corpse ༄---------------༄ It had just turned dark, with the sun and its sharp rays disappearing into the gloomy sky, when suddenly, a loud boom rang through the arena, just as it had in the past few nights. Another tribute had died, hopefully it was an ugly one, then Rubellite wouldn't mind as much. Leaping to her paws, the tall molly set out in search for her sister, who'd gone out to hunt for prey, and possibly tributes earlier on. Had she eliminated another opponent? Likely so. As Rubellite moved along, without a care in the world, never once did the thought that the tribute who'd been eliminated was her own sister occur to her. After all, Cherry Bomb was unbeatable, unstoppable, at least, in Rubellite's simple mind she was. The sent of Cherry flooded her nose, mixed with another's scent, which Rubellite had come to decide was the tribute her brilliant sister had proudly defeated in battle, as the sharp smell of bl00d was also clear in the surrounding area. There was just one issue...once Rubellite arrived, she found herself alone, pools of bl00d scattered throughout the scene, with some sort of message scrawled within the dirt and dust. I'M SORRY. Speaking the message out loud and slowly to make sure she'd read those complicated words correctly, a look of confusion spread across her face. Sorry? Why would Cherry be sorry for eliminating another tribute? And why would she write it out? No, this wasn't Cherry, it wasn't even similar to her writing, and it had a scent...scent of another, one that Rubellite recognized...oh yes!! That first cat that Cherry had defeated in their first few days! Oh how please she'd been that she scared off that nasty little kitty. But, this cat had done something more...this, Rubellite remembered. Her scent was on the body of Atticus, and Cherry had recognized it too. Glancing up, the trail of bl00d leading away from the scene finally caught Rubellite's gaze, and her heart dropped. /Cherry./ The scent with the trail was Cherry. No. Panic surged throughout her whole being as she bolted after the trail, gaze whipping around frantically as she tried to spot that soft cream pelt, one that she'd grown up with...one that she'd looked up to for her entire life. And then, she saw it. That magnificent tree, it was quite beautiful really, even at night, as the stars illuminated the scene, horror striking Rubellite as the limp body of Cherry Bomb came into sight. "CHERRY!!" She shrieked, shrill voice ringing out into the arena as the cannon boom had. This...wasn't real, right? In a matter of seconds, Rubellite was by her side, reaching out to grab her sister and shake her to 'wake her up', until her paw grazed a blade, snapping back quick as she stepped away. Beams of moonlight rested upon the two blades, shining bright now and illuminating the body as tears bubbled up in her bright blue eyes. "Y-you weren't meant to leave me Cherry...you were-no, you /are/ my everything Cher, I can't do this without you...I can't do anything without you..." she sniffled, wiping tears away rapidly before they could fall. Crumpling down, Rubellite leaned against the thick trunk of the tree, glancing down at her fallen sister as she gave up on wiping her tears, allowing them to run down her cheeks. Cherry looked...peaceful, beautiful as always, and somewhat heroic. "Cherry, if you can hear me, I want you to know that...i'll never be as pretty as you, or as cool, or any where near as smart...but, i'll try my best. For you, and only you Cher. I'm going to avenge you, I promise, and whatever pain you felt...i'll make her feel it tenfold. She'll wish she never touched you. I don't care if that ugly little rat is sorry...she took you away from me, so i'll promise you this...that cannon will boom again, and it'll be the moment her last breath leaves her body. Because she won't win. I don't care if I win or lose, all I want is for her to suffer like she made you and me suffer Cher, i'll drive her mad...make life living he// for her...and then i'll be happy." she mewed simply, giving an empty chuckle as she rose again. "Then, you can finally rest in peace. I love you Cherry...you're like...the best sister. Ever." she mewed gently, lifting the bloodied bag beside her c0rpse, filled with all of Cherry's items minus the swords. Gingerly lifting the two crossed weapons from Cherry's body, along with her ping heart glasses, Rubellite took one last look at her sister, rage and sadness filling her up as the helicopter arrived to retrieve Cherry Bombs body away. "Bye Cherry...see you on the other side." Rubellite mewed quietly, tears streaming down her face as she clenched the glasses within her paw, letting out another sob as she scampered away.
This was very poorly written, I wasn't sure how to write this really as I was trying to incorporate Rubellite's dumbness and her feelings in one, but it didn't work out to well. Overall, this is just Rubellite being sad and angry, i'll really miss Cherry, she was amazing and i'm glad we got to go this far with both Cherry and Rubellite being alive <3 RIP Cherry, we'll all miss you <33
