The Failure (Day 2)

I woke up well before she did. She didn't believe me at first. Who would? But after hours and hours of convincing, I had finally got it through to her. She had even apologized on behalf of our father. I accepted but only for show. I would not forgive him but she did nothing wrong.

There were no windows to indicate whether I had awaken within the night or it was morning. I'll play it safe and say it's morning. We needed to get a move on. I nudged her shoulder and she turned, gripping her daggers in her hand. I stepped back for fear of being stabbed by my sleeping sister. I gently shook her with my foot and finally she rose.

She rubbed her eyes as she asked, "Really? What the hell did you wake me up for?"

I rolled my eyes. "Dayta, we need to go. The others will find us and if they do, we're dead."

She let out a groan before rising to her feet and stretching. Together we walk. We walk until we find our way outside, which takes hours. We didn't say much in those hours because we were focused. We finally came to a little door that led outside. There we stay in slow steady strides. Dayta demanded to walk in front of me, though I thought it was a bad idea.

Suddenly, she started running infront of me. I couldn't catch up. Finally she was out of sight and I was left alone in the deep overgrown jungle. I was left running straight ahead, trying to find her. I finally catch up to her.

All of the sudden, she falls. I try to help her up but it's no use. She has been stabbed my thorns so large that there's no way to save her. I start to cry and she looked at me one last time. "Troy it's okay. I'll be fine. It's only a little cut. That's all."

The cannon sounded. Those were her final words. I let my own sister die. I'm a failure. I take her weapons off her and sit on the ground, not moving. I don't move for the rest of the night, not caring if I died or not.

I let her die.

I let her die.

I let her die.

I am a failure.

Those are my final thoughts before drifting to sleep myself next to my dead sisters body.

I apologize for the very  sucky entry. I'm not sure why but, I'm just stuck. Not feeling in the writing spirit. Oh well.
