Era:
They came for me in the morning.
The chime had barely sounded when four Keepers burst through the door and pull me up off the ledge by my arms.
"ERA!" Moa had shrieked in terror, running after me.
Utopia grabs Moa and picks her up, putting her under her arm, before she can come close enough for one of the Keepers to hurt her,
"YOU CAN'T LEAVE!"
The men carry me closer and closer to the cell door.
"YOU CAN'T DIE!"
I stare at her sadly, knowing that I cannot escape this. I'm going to be Disposed.
"I'll take care of her." Utopia whispers to me, her tone sad.
I nod at Utopia, thankful.
"DON'T ABANDON ME, ERA!"
"I never have, and I never will. When someone dies, they never truly go away. They're just moved to a special place in your heart. I love you, Moa. I'll never regret the day I met you." I say softly to Moa before I'm carried out of the cell and to the Range.
My death.
