Her breath was horse and she breathed in the salty air quickly filling with dust and debris. The flaps of her leather jacket smacked together as she quickened her pace. Everything worked in slow motion as her fists raised up and down into the wind. Barely keeping her eyes open, she stopped toward the edge of the cliff. The waves tossed angrily against the rock formations below, spewing drops of sea foam into the air.
🎶 Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two🎶
Her heels slid into the dirt as her arms waved to each side, steadying herself from falling.
Behind, stood the man she once called father. His formerly pressed dress blues had been ripped. A cut on his cheekbone would soon scar, leaving a mark by his precious daughter. His sparkling blue eyes had been glazed with anger while saliva squirted from his lips as he grinded his teeth.
The man slowly walked toward her, hand raised, using his power of gravity to push her off the cliff. “It’s over, Skylar! This ends now! You’ve destroyed my home, my subjects, and my team. Time to join your mother…
In eternal hell…”
🎶Sleepless nights
Losing ground, I'm reaching for you, you, you🎶
Turning around, the wind pushed her chestnut hair toward her pale skin as turquoise eyes peaked through the strand blowing in the wind. Her red lips pursed as she shook her head.
“You killed the only person I ever looked up to. Then you tried to kill my brother.” She whispered softly.
“You’re right. This is the end. I don’t care if you kill me, but I’ll take you down on my way.”
Darius chuckled “Baby girl. You have that sass that I love. You’re just like your mother..”
With a smirk, he gathered the telekinetic energy to wrap the woman, pushing her over the edge..
“AHHHHHHH!” She screamed with terror. Hands flailing, desperate to find a rock, brand, or anything else to cling to. This was it. This was how she dies.
Closing her eyes, she stopped screaming and readied herself for death. She has failed everyone. The entire planet was doomed. Mutants were doomed. This was on her. She should have never began the trek to the shelter by herself. She put her friends in danger and now they would die.
**Don’t let this control you…**
“Wh…” she whimpered, her body lifelessly falling into brush. “Who?” She cried out in pain. She stopped for a moment before the branch snapped in half, sending her plummeting into the ocean. The water hit was ice cold, as if she’d been stabbed over her entire body.
**Focus, my little Raven. Use your energy. Let waves bring you up**
Coughing, she stopped moving, instead laying flat and letting the water mold into her body.
**Use your energy.**
Closing her eyes and holding her breath, she let herself float. She let her emotions rise and opened her anger for use. Feeling the wind on her skin again, she was lifted from the waves and into the air. Slowly, she floated toward the cliff and back on land.
“Mom…” she gasped
**I’ll always be with you, my darling.**
🎶 Someday love will find you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways🎶
Biting the bottom of her moistened lip, she nodded. Opening her eyes, she looked on to see her father walking away toward the shelter. Shaking her head, she raised her right palm
“DARIUS!”
He stopped with mid swing, turning around quickly “Ah, I didn’t think I could kill you that easily. This makes it a bit more fun.” He laughed, raising his hand toward her.
This time, Skye threw the first blow of energy, sending him back few yards. “THIS ENDS NOW!” She commanded, still using a single hand.
Shaking his head, he leaned forward. “You have no idea what you’re up against! Quit now and I won’t kill your friends!”
“Stop with the bullshit, dad. Let’s just get this over with.”
Chuckling, he swore under his breath “So it’s death.”
And so it began… both fighters flew into the air, fighting each other’s energy. Darius hit hard and it took everything she had. Her eyes grew black as her fissures in her skin cracked open from debris. She forced him down with a loud thud into dirt, uprooting trees to bury him. He was down for a moment, but the man flew right back up. It was the same for Skye.
The battle lasted hours. With exhaustion pressing against them, they continues to fight. She couldn’t go for much longer…
“Getting sleepy, little bird? Is that what she used to call you?” He spit out from his bloodied mouth.
“Raven.”
“Hmm?”
Lifting a thick tree branch from the dirt into the air, she turned to her father “IT WAS RAVEN!!!” She yelled, sending the branch square in the middle of his torso.
The bark sliced into skin like butter, ripping his suit apart. He fell to the ground, collapsing into a thud. Skye fell soon after, her limp body hitting the sand.
Taking a few moments to collect herself, she slowly rose, her hands grasping into the sand, feeling the tiny beads of dirt under her fingernails.
He was gone… he was finally…gone.
With a brief smile, she waved to her friends while crouching onto her knees. Her teeth were red and lips torn, but the woman smiled. “He’s go-!”
She felt pressure in her chest. Her right palm pressed onto her left breast.
Blood.
Gulping, she collapsed into the ground. Her eyes looked to the clouds above “N…no….” she cried.
Darius died shortly after the gun blast. Skye would perish within John’s arms.
The deed was done. Darius was finally gone.
And so was Skylar Raven Sage England.
