Hi there, well I was kinda depressed and feeling guilty about not posting chapter 13 of Revelations so here is what you get *grin*
Hope you like it!!!
Disclaimers: I do not own Duo, I wish I did but I don't.
Duo stared at the razor blade in front of him. It would be so easy. Just cut and let all his pain flow away with his blood. No more war, no more killing... no more loneliness.
One trembling hand reached towards the sharp blade, but hesitated just short of grabbing it. Light gleamed off the cold metal of the razor, beckoning him to follow it to the safety of Death.
The hand pulled away from the blade. Everything seemed to happen at a distance, as if nothing could touch him. The surreal quality of what was happening dawned on the suicidal pilot.
Wrapping his arms around himself, Duo shivered. Even the cold that permeated his body seemed distant and unimportant. It was if his soul were already leaving his body, no longer waiting for death to sever the ties between the physical and the metaphysical.
With a low cry, Duo shot up and punched one hand through the window. Glass shattered and one large piece sliced his wrist. Blood began to flow from the wound, his act of rage causing the very wound he was trying to prevent himself from inflicting.
Duo pulled his arm close to his body. For a while, he gazed at his wrist with a blank face. Then, he closed his eyes, leaned his head back, and spread his arms out as if to embrace his fate. It seemed that Death wanted him after all.
With a small, peaceful smile, Duo allowed his life to flow away like a red tide.
"Forgive me."
