Kevin had lost his hope. He tried to hide it to seem strong for me. But I noticed it. The little things were what gave it away. The way he held my hand as if he was scared of losing me. His broken smile that revealed his worries. And the look in his eyes, filled with fear.
But I'm the one that has lost him. No longer is he here to hold me, to comfort me. I relied to much on him and put too much of a burden on him. And now he's dead because of me.
We were walking down a street, looking for a place to rest. Kevin was looking around nervously. Scared that we would be attacked by birds or worse, raptors. I should have been just as cautious but I was too tired. We hadn't slept since the last attack. Because of this I didn't see it coming.
Kevin did so he pushed me aside. He saved me before I even knew what was going on. Instead he was the one that got stabbed by Sarana. She had appeared from nowhere and tried to stab me in the middle of the day. Kevin yelled at me to get out of there. My legs just started running on their own. I didn't want to leave him behind but I couldn't stop running.
When I looked back I could see Sarana throwing him against the wall. I should have kept running instead I stopped. And I saw her slitting his throat. I wished I hadn't seen that.
Somehow I escaped, I don't remember how but I did. Maybe it would have been better if I didn't.
Miss Wouters came to me and said the birds can save me. They can stop the pain and the fear.
They're the ones that caused it in the first place! Without them Kevin would still be at my side. But I'd do anything to stop this pain. So I don't know..
