Sailormoon felt it. She turned her back, with her face crumpled with sadness and disbelief, crying out Ami-chan's name. She started to be hysterical again, banging her fist on the ground. I silently wished this nightmare would be all over! I can't believe Mako-chan and Ami-chan are already gone, and even I am confused! I'm on the tip of breaking down, too, but I can't lose hope just like this! Ami-chan's words echoed through me over and over again. Mako-chan died because of this mission we are all committed to. She was brave and didn't have any second thoughts. We must all be the same. I turned away and hung my head after noticing Mars' tight face. But as my gaze returned to the ground, I noticed a dark glow underneath where Sailormoon was. There was no time to warn, and it was obvious neither of my two friends noticed it. So I did the next best thing... I closed my eyes, screaming with every painful blow. I knew well that this could happen! But why did it take me by surprise? Why did I get my hopes up, when I knew that everything could change? When I knew that all my dreams could vanish in one twist? I was such a fool to believe that everything would always be alright... But I always knew it wouldn't be that way.. And now it hurts so much. |
