Love Under Fire
Killing Glory would be just another shadow I would have to carry, another weight that would suffocate any chance of redemption.
I turned my gaze to Glory, who was now crying openly, tears streaming down her pale face. She was stammering something, an apology, a plea, but I couldn't hear it anymore. I could only see the void she had left, the devastation that I was unwilling to allow spreading any further.
"You don't deserve my mercy," I said, voice icy. "And he doesn't deserve anyone's love." My hand began to slowly lower, and the tension left my body in a painful sigh. Glory fell to her knees, her tears falling to the floor.
