Warped Reality 8.02

[ ] thoughts

 < I told you not to come back.> the shadowy form said as it
descended the stairs.  < It is all your fault that I am living in a
torturous hell without hope for salvation.  For your crimes against
me, I will kill you, Ryoga.  Do not think that you can hide behind
Akane this time.  Now I will have my revenge.>

 Hearing the slow, deliberate speech, Ami and Con quickly got
to their feet, the flat, cold tone of voice, devoid of all life,
scared them more than the fact that they were most likely about to die
at his hands.  

"Run, Ami!" cried Conrad, as he charged up the stairs.  [ Maybe she
can get away before he finishes me off.]   A sharp pain blossomed in
his chest dissipating all hope of that as he fell back the two feet he
had managed to travel.  looking down at his chest, he wondered briefly
why there was a thin piece of metal standing upright just a few inches
from his face.  With that last thought, the shock caught him and
plunged him deep into unending darkness, Light no longer even a
distant memory.  

 Through her pain hazed view, Ami looked back as Conrad 
screamed her name.  < Noooo!> she cried, knowing that it was already
too late.  As she ran back to Con, she watched helplessly as he fell,
the puzzled look on his face tearing her heart out when she saw the
dagger imbedded in his chest.  She got four more steps before
collapsing to the ground, her legs entangled by heavy metal chains.  
She was no more than a foot from Con, but it might as well have been a
mile for all the good she could do. Her vision spun as she crawled
towards him, hoping to do something, anything, but knowing that it was
already too late.  He would die and she would soon follow him.  

 Kneeling over Conrad's limp body she cried, waiting for the blow that
would end her life.  She looked up a moment later, amazed that she was
still conscious.  Her sobs caught in her throat. The brillient light
of a noon day sun illuminated her attacker for the first time.  As she
looked up he looked down and their eyes locked.  Ami saw past his
thick glasses and saw there not, a blood thirsty maniac, but rather a
look of such anguish and sorrow that was so intense she momentarily
forgot about where she was, lost in his eyes.  Before her a rapid play
of emotion flickered over his face, shock, disbelief and denial.  She
watched him stumble back as the world went from grey to black.

I really want to know what you all think about this.  please C+C
