As the ground crumbled, Maya desperately clawed in the air, trying to grab a hold of her sister, but it was no use. She could barely see, her eyes so cloudy from tears that what she saw falling into the abyss was nothing but silhouettes. The ground was crumbling under her as well.<br/><br/>Oh well. Did it even matter? Would it be the right thing to do? How could she possibly face their parents, coming home alone. 21 years, and this was all it took. One bad decision. A fatal one. She'd been making the decisions, did she even deserve to live on? It was she who should've been falling, if anyone. Fate was too cruel. Too unfair. It was her fault. To make her own blood taste the punishment for it...<br/><br/>Her mind drifted back towards when they were younger. All the good times they'd had in the past. Going out drinking, hitting on guys, sleeping with them, sleeping with one another... Just the wandering from when they left their home... The idle chatter while huddled around a fireplace. The most mundane things seemed like so much more, thinking she'd never get to feel the same again.<br/><br/>Ah, it was all so pleasant. It filled her with joy, enough to make her crack a smile as the ground gave away underneath her, falling rapidly into the darkness. She'd found acceptance. Mei was gone. Soon, she would be too. Their parents would never have to know, they could grow old thinking their daughters were just enjoying life.<br/><br/><em>"I'm sorry mom. I'm sorry dad... I couldn't keep my promise after all. We should've stayed home, though I guess you don't realize that until it's too late. I pray you'll never have to know and can rest with peace in mind. And most of all, I'm sorry Mei, I don't know if this is what you'd want. I bet it isn't, but I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with this kind of loss. I don't know how to live on without you leading the way"</em><br/><br/>She was sure she should've been done for by now. No matter how far the fall, it didn't even feel like she was falling. She opened her eyes again, and her suspicion was confirmed. She was hanging in place by the leg, and what was left of their party was reaching for her. How she just wanted to ignore it. Kick away what little was holding on to her, but as if her body was moving on its own, she grabbed on and found herself getting pulled up.<br/><br/>When they were finally up, she found herself moving slow, abysmally so. She shifted over so her feet were hanging over the edge of the chasm, looking down. She wasn't the most fond of heights, normally she'd stay ten feet back from a fall that deep. However, looking down it now, she felt nothing. She put her weapon aside and pulled off her dogtags from her neck. She looked at them for a few long seconds, before concluding with tossing them down into the pit. What light still came from above reflected on the polished metal for a little while, but eventually it just disappeared. Into the darkness, into the nothingness. She was eerily calm, not showing much emotion at all. Just staring into the pit, as if she was waiting for her sister to come flying out of it or something. Not much time passed, perhaps as little as a minute, but it felt like days, weeks, years.<br/><br/>She cracked a small smile. It was strained, obviously forced.<strong>"I guess she's not coming back, huh..."</strong>She chuckled a little, obviously pained.<strong>"I'm sure I'll see you soon, but don't wait for me, I'll find you. Until then... Guess I better have some good stories to tell when we meet again."</strong><br/><br/>Maya forced herself to move again, and slowly pulled back from the edge.<strong>"I guess we should move, yeah..."</strong>Maya responded somberly, looking back at the pit. She took a deep breath, before stepping back away from it.<strong>"It feels like every choice I've made has led to misery. Someone else make a choice for once, where do we go from here"</strong>
