El Dia de los Muertos.

hehe hello

Apollo: My eyes widened at her sudden jolt, and I held to her, trying with everything I could to calm her down. She was shaking in terror.

Rose: "don't do anything stupid when I leave." I said, trembling.

Aiden: "shall we go inform them?"

Tara: "Uh, yeah," I muttered realizing I had shaken his hand just a tad too long, I quickly broke away to fly out of the house.

Apollo: I kissed her forehead tenderly, mentally wondering if I would be able to keep to the silent vow.

Rose: "I mean it. Nothing stupid."

Aiden: I followed after her, flying until we found them. They were clutching each other like they would float away like a balloon if they let go. I pointed them out and landed. Rose didn't see me, but the human did.[b]

Apollo: I locked my eyes onto the blonde bastard, not releasing Rose. My face was cold and hard, as it normally would be without Rose around. Venom raced in my veins and I knew it showed in my eyes. Rose hadn't even seen the surface of who I could be. I visualized me ripping his black wings off and shoving them down his throat, watching as he bled...slowly suffocating.

Brb.

Tara: I didn't care about being gentle, even though they were clutching each other that way. "You have one other option."

Aiden: I raised my hands in innocencee as he glared at me.

Rose: I turned my head to Tara, seeing Aiden as well. I ignored him. "What is it?"

Tara: "Kill the human and we turn him into an angel. Then you get your happily ever after," I said tonelessly.

Rose: "k-k-kill him?" I stammered, holding him tighter. Was she serious?

Aiden: I walked over to Rose and plucked the knife out of her wing. Why hadn't they pulled it out yet?

Tara: "Or you can go to Siberia," I shrugged.

Rose: "but.... i don't want his blood on my hands. Literallly."

Tara: "You don't have a choice. Either kill him or live without him."

Rose: I willed myself to stand up. "I can't kill him! I can't just pick up a gun and shoot him! I can't stab him! I wouldn't be able to do it! I would chicken out! Didn't Aiden tell you that he told me to kill him in order to stay, and I said no? He didn't mention the part about making him an angel, but I bet he was just being an asshole about it, as usual. What did he do to make you say that, Tara?"

Tara: "He didn't do anything to make me say it," I snapped. "You're either banished to Siberia alone, or you kill your little human friend and he becomes an angel. There's no negotiating Rose. You can't always get your way."

Rose: I froze, unsure of what to do. I sank to my knees next to Apollo. "I give up." I whispered, then looked up at him. "Its your decision."

Apollo: I smiled tiredly, but encouraged her, 'You can do it,' I mouthed, stroking her cheek tenderly. If I was to die by anyone's hand, it would be by Rose's. I placed the flute in her lap for safekeeping until this was all over. 'You aren't killing me,' I assured, going slow so she could understand, 'You are giving us a life together.'

Rose: I wrapped my arms around his neck. Tears escaped me, landing on my arm and his shoulder. I pulled back, swiping them away with my hand. I kissed him, one last time as a human.

Apollo: I smiled, urging her with my eyes not to be sad or cry. I kissed her, then placed another one on her forehead as I brushed some stray hairs from her face and set back, waiting.

Aiden: I walked over and wordlessly handed her the knife. I wasn't sure she could do this. She looked terrified, and she might just hate herself after she was through.


Rose: my hands were trembling as I took the knife. I took his hand, trying to comfort both me and him. I didn't want to make a show of it. Do it Rose. You're doing it for him. Making sure you can stay together. He wanted you to. So do it. I aimed it at his heart, my hands trembling more. I squeezed his hand, shut my eyes, and forced myself to push it down through his flesh. As soon as I felt impact, I opened my eyes, tears blurring my vision as it started bleeding. I squeezed his hand and kissed it as his skin ashened, his eyes closed, and breathing slowed. His heart stopped, and so did he. It was over. I had practically murdered him.

Tara: I waved a hand above Apollo's body sealing it up, so that it wouldn't corrupt before we made him an angel.

Aiden: she did it. And it looked like she hated herself for doing so. She dropped the knife to the ground, holding his hand and crying silently. I walked over and patted her back. Surpisingly, she let me. Maybe it was because she was busy bawling.

Tara: "He'll be an angel by tonight," I said boredly.

Rose: I said nothing. I was ashamed of what I had done. I was a rotten person. I should have told him about the rule. I should have killed Aiden. I shouldn't have let him let me kill him. I shouldn't have agreed. I was selfish. I was a bitch. I shouldn't have put him through it. The worry, the injuries, the confession, his death.
