I leapt up, hand darting to my sword hilt. But I knew better than to grab my sword. It would glow, which would direct all arrow fire at myself.
“STOP COMPRIMISING MY POSITION IDIOT!” Bastille yelled. Her voice was dark and angered.
“I..” I couldn’t say a thing. Just watched. Watched the scene of terror. Any sound caught in my throat.
“Fleck?”
“If…” I couldn’t say it. Couldn’t say it. Couldn’t say it.
“Fleck! Cove! Joveson!”
“It’s… i… my…” I just couldn’t.
“You what?”
“I couldn’t save him if I tried. I failed, failing, fails. At everything.”
“No no don’t say that. Your great at a lot of things.” Midnight walked up, placing her hand gently on my shoulder.
“Like what?” I asked.
“It’s not over yet Fleck.” She said quietly. My cousin chose to ignore my question.
“So? So what can I do?”
“You can do it Fleck. You can fight them.”
“But I failed last time!”
“Now isn’t last time. Now is now. Now you are different. Stronger. Braver. A true hero.” Midnight said.
“Why are you being so nice?” I asked her.
“That’s what cousins are for.”
“So..”
“So go save the Cause!”
I looked to the mountains. The dusk encased them, but a moon was overhead, shedding faint light. I knew I couldn’t do this alone.
“Dear Maker, please give me the strength to do this.” I whispered, clutching my sword hilt and looking up into the stars. “Please help me.”
I then turned, and bolted off. I got closer to the fight, the dust kicking up, spraying around me. I ran faster, and faster, finally arriving.
Too late. Smalls was in the thick of the fight.
“No!” I yelled, lunging forwards. “No No No!”
I was too late. The Prince… i…. had failed. The Prince was killed before my very eyes.
“NO NO NO NO!” i… this was all my fault., I couldn’t. couldn’t save those I cared about. “No!” I yelled. “Why? Why’ this have to happen?”

Found a song that reminds me of Fleck.... 'Gods not done with you' I think it is and I don't remember who wrote it.... That's me with songs though...
Wonderful job!!! This was one of my favorite chapters yet!!!! Wow, Midnight reminding Fleck of the truth was really powerful - definitely one of my favorite parts. You wrote it so well!!!! "Now is now. Now you are different. Stronger. Braver. A true hero." Ugh I love that!!! And then she's like, So go save the Cause. YESSS!!!! But then, what a sad ending. 😭😭😭 Can't wait for more!!!
