     I ran hard, my breaths came in ragged gasps. The only thought that occupied my mind was "Get to her." I had to get to her. If I couldn't... I quickly banished the thought from my mind and hoped it was not true.
     Then, there she was. Sharpened claws clenched around my chest as I saw her lying on the ground. I ran harder, but before I reached her, I knew it was too late, that I was too late.
     My legs felt leaden, I fell to my knees before her. My heart shattered as I took it all in. Her emerald eyes, once bright with life, was now static, staring at nothing. I tasted tears, but I was too numb to feel them rolling down my face. I realized with overwhelming sadness that I would never hear her wonderful, tinkling laughter. Never again would I admire the fire of passion in her eyes, sample the sweet taste of her gentle lips.
     All that was gone, leaving behind a husk of the beauty that once was.
     The broken sound of choked sobs shattered the deafening silence.
This just came to me.
