His laugh, his smile, his eyes, and his last words. Oh god his last words were the saddest things I've ever heard, but he meant them, I know he did. Three words, eight letters, and it was all the truth, but the truth hurts so much.
"I love you."
Those words will never have the same meaning. Because they'll be my last memory of him.
-----------------------------------
It was just a simple mission, no one was supposed to get hurt. They had done it plenty of times before.
So why did it go so wrong? And why did take him?
--------------------------------------
The pain, the tears, the silence, it seemed to never stop. Everything reminded them of him, no matter what it was, it was all him.
Only one of them had felt the worst of it, because he was his everything, and losing him felt like the world had ended. He was gone, he wasn't returning from that mission.
Until he did.
-------------------------------
Blank, unknowing, confused, not like they remembered him. Not how he was in their fondest memories. He was there, but wasn't .
When he was gone, they only had a memory, but when he returned, it was like he never had.
Maybe that's all he'll ever be, a memory.
Sequel to Protection From Hell

"In every Angel, a Demon hides.....
And in every Demon, an angel strides."
The worst choices are always the ones you don't make yourself.
They never chose to be guardians, to stand out from their species and deemed as saviors to a group of ungrateful humans.
They never chose to fall in love, to succumb to the weak feelings humans went through each and every day of their lives.
He never chose to become half of something he despised so much, that he resented with all his heart, he never chose to become in between.
He especially did not choose to get caught up in something bigger than him, a lot bigger, to get involved in the wicked scheme they had planned.
But, he chose to do something about it. To find his way back to the chaos and stop it, despite the danger, because that's what he lived for.
Danger. Risk. Sacrifice. It's all the same
