I watched her walk away, not bothering to stop her. Tears flowed down my cheeks freely. I wasn't going to stop them.

I wanted to whisper, to scream, to shout her name. Her beautiful name. Like honey on my lips. The Neverseen cloak slipped from my fingers and fell into a large puddle growing on the ground. My sopping wet bangs were practically stuck to my face, but I didn't care.

I ruined everything. 

I had lost her.

Lost Linh.

Lost everything.

All because of that stupid cloak. Why didn't I just take it off? Why didn't I? I didn't even think about it and now... Now it's too late.

Tears leaking down my cheeks and I drove my fist into the wall next to me. I continued to punch the wall, pain shot through my fingers, but I welcomed it.

I hit it until my bloodstained knuckles stained the brick in a deep red. Then I collapsed on my knees.

"I'm sorry," I whispered into the rain, my skin was cold to the bone, the feeling of numbness took over me. And I couldn't stop the tears. Couldn't stop the pain. The anger. The fear.

But I stood up. Shaking. Red, puffy eyes. Lines of blood coating my hands.

I took a deep breath. And I walked out of that small alleyway. Never looking back.
