Triss' Point of View.

Carter raised one of his eyebrows up, amused. "Well," He said while a light smile appeared on his face. "I think, you might need a decision now, Triss."

Think!
Think!

Alex is injured, Erin is bleeding, and Meg is gonna have blood loss!

What do I do?!

"Kennedy, if you gave me a chance. . "

"W-What?" She said, stuttering, again. "W-What is it?"

"I would take it."

The diamond began to grow more brighter, and more red, leaving Carter astonished.

"You're. . . a. . .s–"

I ran to him quickly, and hit him multiple times, making it more harder; mentally and physically.

The scratches in my face began to fade; the weakness is starting to disappear.

I didn't even bother to let him attack. When he was about to slash me with his scythe, I didn't defend. I just kept on attacking, I even tried shouting and attacking him hardly.

"Don't even lay a finger on me! " I said while I kept attacking. "Don't lay a finger on my friends!"

"You're  the defensive type, eh?" He said while he smirked a bit. "I hate those types, being defensive and stuf–"

I attacked him again.

I feel angry, sad, and different at the same time. I never felt so angry before, and, it feels like, my sad emotion turned wider. And, I feel. . different, I'm. . . not. . the same, as before.

"Less talking, more fighting!" I articulated. "Don't want your opponent to beat you, right?!"

He tried standing up, and he did. He wiped his blood and sweat all over his face.

He sighed. "We are not gonna end this, right?" He says while he raised up his scythe. "Just give Kennedy back, and everything will be fine."

"Tch." I scoffed. "I prefer that crazy Yuraki more than you!"

"Well, at least I'm not smiling creepily like him!" He shot backed.

He lowered his scythe and immediately ran to me, leaving me a quick scratch on my face. I wiped the blood that was dripping, and continued doing it. This fight is turning boring.

"Just end this, Triss."

I looked back seeing Kennedy's head looking down, and all of her weapons;shield, rifle, gun, and hammer down on the floor.

"What's up Kennedy?" I asked with concern. "What do you mean by that?"

"I meant that, I don't want you all getting through my mess." She honestly said. "Thank you for everything. . "

She walked towards Carter, and held his bloody arms.

Carter lowered his scythe, and looked back, same for Kennedy.

"Oh, yeah," He said, looking at me. "Here's some bandages for your friends."

He tossed me some ointment and bandages, And I caught it.

He left me speechless.

The diamond was not glowing anymore, although my eyes stay red as rose petals.

"Bye, Furies." He said while he went deep to the shadows, and disappeared, along with Kennedy.

I couldn't help but making my tears let out. Tears were flowing down intensely, and, I couldn't make it stop.

I just lost a member.

I wiped my wet tears and head for everyone. I put some ointment on Alex's face, and bandages on it. While Erin, I twirled the bandages around her head, and put her hat on. For Meg, I just grabbed a tissue and wiped it all over the face, looks like the bleeding stop.

They all wake up, seeing me, feeling sorrowful and devastated. It felt like, I'm in despair. .

Everyone decided to hug me and comfort me with their kind, gentle words. I just smiled, it made me calm down a bit, and looks like they have no objections or concerns why Kennedy is gone. But they do look sad.

∆∆∆

Later that night, we ate bread and snuggled to our sleeping bags. I couldn't sleep.

I kept twisting and turning all over. Thinking if my red eyes are making the group scared, why couldn't I be a great sentinel, and why I couldn't have save Kennedy.

Tears, again, flowed down intensely,making me teary eyed.

I wiped my red rose eyes, and just let out a deep sigh.

Screw it. I won't go to sleep.

I sat up, seeing the bright moon and starts twinkling above us.

Then, I hear someone tapped on my back.

I looked back, It was Meg.

"Oh, Hello, Meg, why are you here?" I interrogated with a soft voice. "Bad dream again?"

She shook her head, and sat beside me. "No, and I'm gonna ask a question to you too."

"What is it?"
"Why are you up in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, Nothing." I lied. "Nothing."

"Wrong, I could hear cries, and it appears it's from you." She said sharply. "What's wrong?"

"You sure have a sweet - side sometimes, Meg." I said while giving her a soft smile, and just looked straight.

"Well, I was. . crying because, I kept asking myself: if you guys would be startled why my eyes are red, why I couldn't be a good sentinel, and why I couldn't protect Kennedy from him." I admitted. "Cause, you know. She didn't really want to go back, right?"

"Good point."

"And, I'm sorry that I let you get injured." I addressed to her, giving her a apologetic face. "If I blocked Carter's attack, you've wouldn't be injured."

She looked at me.

"It's none of your fault, I was just glad that we have a defender and a considerate leader in our team." She said to me while she gives me a warm smile.

I've never seen Meg smile before. .

"Well," I said while I looked at my hands. "Thanks for the compliment."

"You are welcome," She said, standing up. "We better go back to sleep now."

I lay down. "Well, yeah, goodnight."

"Goodnight." As she went back to her orange sleeping bag.

I wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow. . .
