You’re Vi.

You just lost your father, again. You and your sister and the woman you love are fighting your way through a literal army. You don’t have any weapons, no armor, so you use your fists just like you always have. You’ve gotten out of harder scrapes before. Right?

You get slashed across the stomach. Again. You remember this pain. It puts you on your knees, again. You know pain but fuck, fuck, it hurts. Takes your legs out. The woman you love is there, and she gets you to your feet and you remember this, half collapsed against her side, clutching your stomach, nauseous with the pain, hoping you get somewhere safe before you bleed out.

Then you hear a scream.

You know that scream, because you’ve heard it before, and because you know that voice, and you will always know that voice.

Your sister. Screaming. You spot her through the chaos, and she’s running. She’s running toward a girl who holds something familiar. Something you’ve seen before, something you never wanted to see again. Something crackling and glowing and blue.

You run.

You let go of the woman you love, and you run.

The pain doesn’t matter. The blood doesn’t matter. The wound doesn’t matter. You don’t need anyone to hold you up anymore, no one could stop you from running. No one could keep you from your sister. Not now. Not again.

There isn’t much time.

You get to her, and you hit her like a battering ram, wrapping your arms around her, and fuck she’s strong, she never used to be this strong.

She’s screaming. You’ll never forget what she sounds like this way. You’ll never, ever forget it.

She fights you, struggles to get free, and the pain is there, god, the pain is everywhere, it’s ripping through you, but you don’t let go. You won’t let go. You can’t. Not again.

There isn’t much time.

The little girl is raising the gun, and your sister screams her name, and you drag her back, pull and pull and it’s like wrestling with a freight engine, why does she have to be so strong now?

You’re sorry. You’re so very sorry, you’re sorry to your little sister, and you’re sorry to her little sister, but you can’t say it because the pain is in your throat and your sister is in your arms and that’s all you have strength for.

The blue light gets brighter. You’ve seen this before. You never, ever wanted to see it again.

There isn’t much time. There isn’t any time at all.

You’re all going to die.

Your father is an animal made of fire. The blue light grows. The little girl vanishes in it.

You’re all going to die, but you don’t care. You don’t care. You’ll save your sister. You’ll always save your sister, because you didn’t once, and nothing was ever the same.

You pull her to you, and she fights you, she never stopped fighting, and that’s something. Maybe she’ll make it, after all. Maybe you get to keep your promise this time, to the man who became an animal who became flame.

Your body is going to tear in half. The pain is everything, but your sister is in your arms, and that’s more. You pull her to your chest and turn your back to the light. You feel her fighting still.

You hope she fights forever.

The blue light goes white.
