I stand over Drew, axe in hand. "Just this once. Run" I say, tears running down my cheeks. He runs.
I kneel beside Ethan, spear still in his stomach. "No, not like this..." I cry.
He smiles at me. "Emerson. I love you." He says. He looks at the sky. "Emma. You are the light of my life. I love you. Delilah, you can always make me laugh. I love you. Harper, thank you for guiding me. I love you. Mom, thank you for everything. I love you."
He says, still silently crying. He looks to me.
"You have to win. Get back to our family." He tells me. "No, I've failed." I sob on him. "No, Emerson. You've kept your promise. Get home. They need you." He says. He looks at the stars.
"Beautiful..."
His eyes close. The cannon fires. But I stay. I stay the whole night. I stay when the sun rises.
They say when you lose a twin, you lose a part of yourself.
But tonight, I lost everything.
