Dying. They all were. Literally, some on the inside. No one would care. Their stories forever written into history but never read or chosen until now. Their memories that they clung onto so hard afraid to loose. Because the people in them changed.
They changed and became everything they said they wouldnt.
They lied.
Here are the stories of 4 souls who's stories intertwined, killing each of them. But light slips into the darkness, shining a way through the night. Shining a lantern into the demons heart and allowing him to let go of those memories. Allowing him freedom from the monster. Allowing him closure.
The ultimate gift.........

As Ava hung from the ceiling she cried.
"I i cant do this......im so sorry daddy!"
She cried until she couldnt cry anymore. She cried for her loss, she cried for her pain, she cried for their pain, she cried for the heartbreaks and heart aches. She cried for her own sake.
She looked to Jason, it was her fault, she should've known.
She had died on the inside. She was done putting rose covered goggles ontop of everything. She gave up, there was no point. There was no happiness. She cried because she could not keep her promise.
She got frustrated and jerked her arm.
It fell and she looked to jason, he was still comatosed.
"Im so sorry......"she cried, wiping her eyes, she was out of tears.
She stroked his face with her thumb. She kissed his forehead.
"I will save you......i will come back for you..."
She looked around, the door wasnt an option. She looked to an old squeaky window. She opened it and sat on the window seal.
"I will come back for you two...i promise..."
She climbed down carefully, slipping occasionaly.
She ran the other way, into the forest.
"And if you hurt me, well thats ok baby only words bleed"
She ran , she heard crying and sobbing and.........begging?
"IM SORRY IM SO SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TOO!" It was zack. He was praying for forgivness. He wasn't bad, he was alone and lost.
He needed her, but she needed an escape, how was she supposed to choose
Her own selfish reasons instead of helping him. He only needed someone to love and show him, to save him from the demons. She ran to him and hugged him
"I wont leave you!" He gasped a little and held his head.
"The voice, it wont stop.........Ava am i a bad person?" He cried. This wasn't the crazed maniac she came to know, he was different.
"If i told you what i was, would you turn your back on me..."
He told Ava the story, the demon puppet, his mother, his obsessions. Everything. She sat and nodded.
"If i seemed dangerous would you be scared?"
Her heart broke. He really was just lost in the darkness, she needed to save him.
"Im only a man to escaoe whats got me, im takin a stand to escape whats inside me"
The next moment was a blur. They took him. They shoved Ava on the ground and they muzzled him, like an animal. Rose and Jason stood smiling.
"NO!NI HES DIFFERENT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!!!"
The officer sighed. "Stockhome syndrome. Poor thing, lets get vher to safety."
"NO!NO!ZACK DONT LET IT TAKE OVER FIGHT IT PLEASE DONT LET IT FIGHT PLEASE ZACK FIGHT IT!!!"
Ava cried as they took him away.
"A monster a monster and it keeps getting stronger, a monster a monster and it keeps getting stronger!"
Ava snapped. She stood up and her eyes were full of rage.
"HOW DARE YOU???" The smug looks were wiped off their faces.
"HE'S HUMAN TOO HE WAS JUST LOST!!! HOW DARE YOU EVER HE MAY HAVE HURT YOU BUT THERE IS GOOD IN HIM!!!"
Rose sneered. "HE KILLED MY SISTERS YOU SPOILED BRAT!!!!!"
She covered her mouth and Ava turned on her heel.
She walked away. She was done trying to help everyone but she was done.
She ran after them, she was going to save everyone, she was going to save him.
