Embers of Eternity (Book 8 of the Keyblade Legends Rainimator Fanfic Series)

Chapter 27: That Should've Been Me...

Damian's POV

"Damian? Are you okay?!"

Everything was blurry.

To my surprise, I wasn't in pain and I wasn't bleeding much.

Just a few scrapes and bruises.

"Yeah," I mumbled. "I guess so."

"MEDIC!" I heard Jacob yelled.

My vision cleared and I saw Ember help me up, his eyes full of concern.

I looked over to see that the Ravager had been killed.

Thank goodness...

Then I noticed that Hannah was yelling at everyone to back away.

What's going on over there?

I ran towards the scene and when I saw the situation, my heart plummeted.

Now I knew why I wasn't severely injured, or why the impact didn't hurt.

The Ravager didn't hit me. It was somebody else who did!

Somebody had shoved me out of the way.

I stared at the broken figure, soaked in puddle of her own blood.

"Riko!" I screamed, sobbing.

The next minute or so was a blur, I saw X carry her to the medical room with Hannah rushing behind her.

I saw Kat, with two others, who I recognized as her friends, notice the scene.

Kat told them something, then ran after Hannah.

The two newcomers looked concerned.

I was shaking, before I felt something.

I looked down to see Anna, hugging me, whispering to me.

"It'll be okay," the younger girl whispered. "She's going to be fine."

I began to cry.

That should've been me.
