REBORN FOR THEIR BETRAYAL

inside this odd sea-place I live in, jolting the stillness beneath the surface. A breath caught - Elena's - shaking slightly as it moved through bone and blood. One moment her heartbeat stayed calm,

to Elena. That thin strand throbbed gently, carrying what I needed - oxygen, nourishment - from her and into me. Delicate as a thread, yet stronger than anything else could ever be. This was it: the only thing keeping me here. Without her, nothing. Her voice had reached me just seconds ago, proof she was alive now, unlike before. Back then, in the time that came first, Elena Vale passed away long before they killed me. That quiet moment at her graveside, where I once thought sickness took her, now felt like a lie.
