While Lily and Scarlet were sleeping, two knights sneaked up to them. Scarlet sniffed an odd scent, waking her up. She opened her eyes to see a female knight about to stab Lily.
Lily woke up, wide-eyed.
Scarlet ran to where Lily was laying down.
Scarlet
Watch out!
Scarlet was stabbed in the kidneys, since she blocked the sword from stabbing Lily. Scarlet coughed up a lot of blood. Her body fell to the ground. She looked dead in the eyes.
Knight Miroki
Isn't that the wrong person?
Knight Kiriko
We killed the phoenix. Master requested to kill one. Either the phoenix or the elf.
Knight Kiriko
Our job is done here.
Knight Miroki
If you say so.
The two knights walked away casually like nothing happened. Lily crawled to Scarlet's bloody body. She placed it in her arms, crying. It was dead cold. She burst into tears.
Lily...Don't cry like that...when...I'm...Dying...Smile...Like...You always...Do...
Those were the last words she said before she passed out.
Lily
Scarlet!!
Lily
Answer me!!
Lily
Please...Answer me...Don't leave me like this...
Tears were streaming down Lily's face. Unlike Scarlet, she remembered about their childhood. She regretted faking that she was dead. Her childhood friend was gone...Her friend died protecting her...She couldn't beleive that her friend was dead, protecting her.
She cried herself to sleep as she hugged her friends cold body the whole night.
