Shadows POV:

I find myself staring at this lifeless corpse, staring into its lifeless eyes...

While I feel devoid of all emotion, the only thing that I feel is sadness and anger. I cry while looking at what I see before me...

Blight....

Dead Blight.

I know that it's an accident but I feel so much hatred right now and at the person who took her away from me.

"WHY? Why were you here Blight? Why'd you come here? This town isn't safe for you. Wait. Is this my fault? I shouldn't have talked about taking you to town with me. Maybe you knew what I was talking about. DAMN IT! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE EVERYHING FROM ME, YOU FUCKING STUPID WORLD, I HATE EVERYTHING! EVERYONE! I HATE IT ALL. I just... fucking hate it all. This isn't fair. Life isn't fair. What did I do to deserve this. I have nothing left anymore. No one. Nothing."

I clutch Blight so close to me, feeling like I'd never let go but even I know what must be done now, as I cry and cry I take her to some place where I can bury her. I take her back to where we met... and start digging her grave. I dig and continue digging until the pit where the last bit of happiness I had will go. I get out and pick Blights corpse up then slowly place her down into her resting place. As I do this the tears have never stopped flowing. I just can't stop crying.

Once I'm done burying her... I'm doing the same with my emotions. I'm burying them... I'm done... feeling.

"Wherever you are voice. You can take control of me for whatever reason, you can do as you please."

I say this but nothing happens, no one shows up and no one says anything, it's just me and the silence between.

I sit there next to Blights resting place. As I look at the grave. I begin to feel devoid of EVERTHING. This is where I give up. No more pain, no more suffering. No more, anything.

I sit even longer staring at the night sky while silence continues to befall me. I sit still in this quiet and desolate place while I wait, for what I don't know. The stars fade, the moon disappears and I then begin to see the night sky turn to day. As the sun rises I get up and start walking. Walking to the empty place I call home. Once I get there I lay in bed and start thinking about Blight:" What did Blight even mean to me? Why'd that even happen, why'd I have to get so attached. I know that everything doesn't last, so why'd I think the happiness would stay. I want to know WHO TOOK AWAY MY HAPPINESS."

I can hear it now, it's finally back, like I've been wanting. It's saying...

"I know the answer to that, boy."
