Extreme angst ahead like every paragraph is angst you will be depressed after this. Be warned. ✮ Don't let your tears hit the ground... The world darkened around Alessandra. She curled her tail around her paws, feeling as if she was choking on her own breath. She glanced at her father helplessly. He looked so careless. It all hurt. Night was dead. Don't you dare make a sound... Walking. Laughing. Those were her memories of Wolf. Cousin to cousin. Having a good time. Playing. They were each other's coping. Happiness in the darkness. Ignore your heart, the way it had to pound... The reaping...Wolf's horrified expression. They'd win though, they'd have to win, they were Wolf. They were Alessandra's cousin. It wasn't long before the screen showed a helpless expression, Wolf pinned to the ground by a grey cat, fierce blue and violet eyes. Alessandra watched it all. It was brutal for someone so young to witness. Their father still showed no sign of caring. What's worse? That cat went on to become a victor. Who decided she deserved that? I feel like lazing around... "You shouldn't hang out with us. You'd be happier with your other friends." Ana stared into Al's eyes. The world felt like it was ending. They really would just lose everyone they cared about in the end wouldn't they? It all hurt. A bunch of shattered pieces here... In tears. Wrapping a large bandage around her arm. They always got hurt so easily. For what? That's what I fear... The apples began to grow with rot. What happens when the sky falls apart? I'm not ready for a new start. Lose what's ours. Cause all I have left are broken stars. "Alessandra Rose!!" All of that led Al to today. All of that led her to stare, wide-eyed, fearful, and in tears at the stage in front of her. Was this it? Was this the moment where it finally all came crashing down, failing at a horrific, horrifying fight? Cloud's father said goodbye in tears. Her mother didn't care. And when bubbles looked back, there was but one expression resting on the both of cloud's parents faces. Apathy. And it hurt. It hurt so much.
