Chapter 136: Why Is This Happening Now?

*Ciana*

Worry tightened my heart.

What happened? I couldn’t see from this distance but it couldn’t be good. When I got to where Theo and Luther were, I noticed there was a huge space cleared around them like no one wanted to get close.

Theo had Maggie in his arms and was slowly lowering her to the ground.

“Theo, are you okay?” Then when I saw Maggie’s lifeless pale face, I gasped, “MAGGIE!”

Theo was expressionless, brow slightly creased. He stared at Maggie for a moment longer and looked upto me. “She… sacrificed herself,” he murmured distantly.

Luther was on his knees, wavering from side to side. Just before he crumpled into a heap, Jennifer ran out of the crowd and grabbed him. She wrapped her arms around him, tears in her eyes, and lowered him to the ground.

The air was still and quiet as all of Luther’s allies realized he was dying. Then whispers swept through the crowd, but still no one moved away from where they were. Some people looked like they wanted to run and hide. Others dropped to the ground on their knees showing they were ready to surrender.

Soon, all of them were on their knees, waiting to be told what to do.

The battle seemed to have ended. For a moment, I was still processing the situation. Was everything over?

Suddenly, Demarco let out a long, low cry and pushed through the warriors. He was headed straight for Maggie and Theo. He shoved Theo out of the way and took Maggie into his arms.

“No! Why? Why! I just got you back. Why would you leave me again?” His wails turned into heart piercing howls that filled the air and drowned out the whispers.

With a heavy sigh, Theo rose to his feet and glanced at me, giving me a quick onceover. Probably to make sure I wasn’t hurt.

I nodded at him, silently confirming that I was okay. I hadn’t been in the thick of the fighting.

Warren stood by Demarco and Theo, his face was a stony mask. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking or feeling, nor did I know what to say. His sister was dead before his eyes, again. Only this time, she wasn’t coming back.

In Jennifer’s arms, Luther gasped and shuddered.

I started, my eyes snapping to him. I thought he was dead, but it seemed like he had a little life left in him now.

“Fate is unfair…” he murmured in a quiet whisper, and when he tilted his head and saw me, he asked. “Ciana… what did I… do wrong?”

He gasped again and with one, last shuddering breath, he died. He went completely limp in Jennifer’s arms, with his eyes open, staring at me.
