James was frozen in place, he was terrified.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #00BF00">"There is nothing I can do, there is never anything I can do. So many people dying, if I could sacrifice myself for even one of them, I would do it."</span></span></span>His stone arm started to fall apart as he slumped to the ground. He didn't have the will to do anything, he was just feeling defeated. James stared out into the sky, and wondered. Why? Why are all these bad things happening to me. What did I do to deserve this? I was a nice person, a coward maybe, but I always tried to be a good person. I followed the rules, went to church, and my life had been good up until today. Now everything is falling apart around me, even people I just met. Eira was so pale, he had never seen someone go that white before. He couldn't take it, he wanted it all to just stop, he wanted his life to just stop. The rock arm was now more of a small skeletal arm, and it kept degrading. He was lost in his depression, not noticing what was going on around him. He closed his eyes, I want to die, he thought. Is that want your wanting from this? He was talking to God. Do you want me to just join all my friends and family? Am I really that useless in this world? Of course, I am, I'm too scared to do anything, too content in my mediocrity to want to change. Well here I am Lord, end this suffering, I beg you. I could never handle being here anyway. James didn't even know why he was here, out of all the people in the world, why did he have magical abilities?<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>Chad had gone off and was sitting behind a building thinking to himself. I have never been good with people, they are too complicated, I am simple. Everything I do fails, but I can't give up. Giving up would be pointless, then where would I be? The only way to improve is to try to make it better. I just need to think of what to do, my mind isn't good in the moment, I need time to think things through. Maybe I should ask Angela if there is anything I can do to help.
