Beach Sunsets

Chapter 5

When she opened her eyes, it was dark. But, not so dark that she couldn't see. Someone had left a lamp on. Not someone—Sunset.

“Sunset?” she called out. Her voice echoed in the house. She listened. It was quiet--too quiet. She didn't like this type of silence.

She stretched, her arm hit something. Looking, she realized it was the sofa. She felt around with her other arm. It was the floor. She was on the floor.

Adagio rubbed the sleepiness from her eyes and sat up slightly to look around. The coffee table had been pushed aside and the area rug rolled up. She looked around a little bit further and that's when she found her.

Sunset Shimmer laid a few feet away, her figure eerily still.

Adagio's heart froze within her chest. “Sunset? Please, no...” she reached out for her girlfriend. Her skin was pale and cold to the touch. “Sunset!” she cried, “No! What the hell have you done?” She grabbed a hold of Sunset and pulled her closer.

In doing so, a piece of paper fell from Sunset's hand. Adagio was quick to snatch it. Written on it, was a simple note:

You deserve a second chance.

“Dammit!” she wept, clutching Sunset's body tightly, “You fool! You damned fool!”

It's one of three that I wrote. Still trying to figure out which one will be officially submitted (provided I don't find myself writing more).

Either way, the reader wins.

I tried XD. Even took a page from your book and listened to it while editing.

I was kind of hoping for the ending Adagio wanted, so I'm a tad disappointed, but overall I liked this quite a bit.

замечательно, 10 рыданий взахлёб из 10
