Chapter 19: Through The Darkest Night

POV: Virgo

Libra's body fell to the ground. I tried to run to him but was shoved back by the shadows that had killed Libra. "But, but Libra... please let me at least say goodbye. He's going to fade soon. I won't see him again." When the shadows still didn't move I shrieked in rage, "PLEASE let me say goodbye to a  dead friend!" They hadn't even moved a little. "If you won't move, then I will, fuck you." 

I swerved around them and ran to libra's side. He was still breathing in ragged breaths. I tore a piece of my shirt off and tried to wipe up his blood. He grabbed my wrist, "Virgo, please. It's okay." A little dribble of blood trailed down out of the corner of his mouth. "But I can't let you go! You said that you'd always be there for me! You promised!" Hot tears started streaming down my face like little rivers. Libra raised his head to look at me, "Take my wings." I looked at him confused. "Angels can transfer their wings to other wingless immortals. Take. Mine." With every word that escaped his lips more blood streamed out of them. 

LIbra took my hand and placed it over his chest. The beating of his heart slowed. It pained me to feel his life slow. "Repreat this phrase after me: Nunc, ego vobiscum sum usque in sempiternum." I said it. Libra smiled, "You know what that means right?" I shook my head. He let out a pained chuckle. As he laughed his blood sprayed onto my face. "It means Now, I will be with you forever.", Libra whispered. 

I still had my hand over his heart. I could feel it fading faster. Libra's wings disappeared in a fuzzy white light and appeared upon my own back. Libra's heart beat was nearly gone. "Wait! Wait. Wait... I can't let you go. I thought you promised. You said... you said you wouldn't leave me." Libra used his last bit of life to sit up and kiss the top of my forehead. He whispered against me, "I love you, Virgo Willow Sariel. And I'm not breaking any promises. Just trust me." Libra's lifeless body slumped through my arms and out of my grip. "I love you too Libra Jonah Makalel. I trust you. Just come home to me soon, okay?" Libra's body was nearly done fading into beautiful green flowers. I took one and placed it in my bag. 

I walked over to the shadows. "Take me to wherever you would like me to go. I have no more reason to stay. I hope where you're taking me kills me in the end." The shadows escorted me into the darkest night of my life.

I feel guilty for this, but I'm afraid that Libra wasn't as lucky as Saggi. He's gone as far as I can see. What's going to happen to Daisy and Geo do you think? How are things back home? Where is Virgo going? What did Libra have in mind when he asked Virgo to trust him? So many questions I won't answer. So umm, yeah! Bye.
