one last day of serenity {Jeq/Sax}

The stroke of a star filled night sky flourishes above my head. The cold becoming all the more excessive. I still could not comprehend the way Jeq showed me mercy. She felt bitter hatred toward for me for only a second, and then she went on to call me her friend? Her spear had dug ever so gently into the succulent skin of my neck. I had kept my gaze upon her, wanting to watch the expression of my murderer.

But with grace she pulled away, letting me live. In a sense I was killing myself, I was letting her destroy me, because I had fallen to such a low level of self hatred. Jeq had shown me kindness yet again, except this time she had known the crimes that I had committed against her.

It was a sensational feeling, the feeling of a thousand pounds being lifted from your body. I had felt like the piercing eyes of Satan had finally been relieved from my back, for I had told the truth. My tough spoke the words of revival, and here I was feeling as free as I could be in this arena.

We laid side by side looking up to the sky. Our pupils lit with the bright light of those who have passed.

The first face was Leo's and with the first glimpse of him, I slid my arm underneath Jeq's head. Feeling her body gravitate closer to mine, her head resting on my chest. I lay my chin on her forehead, and used my hand to pull the hair from her eyes.

"If it hurts to much...just look to the stars." I say pointing to a gathering of little glowing starlets. I feel the lift and fall of her breath on my body, the low lull of her steady heart.

It was that same reassuring sound that had kept me sane last night. The pounding of her heart meant life in her body, and her life meant the world to me.

Though I had known that I would one day have to end it, if that day was ever to come, I pray the divine may guide me.

Without much more of a thought I feel my face drift off into peacefulness, finally feeling a solemn night of sleep. I had awaken with a flutter of my lashes, happy to still feel the warmth of Jeq at my shoulder.

I stand from my position, gently brushing my lips against her forehead to awaken her. Today was a new day, and we will see what it has in store, but I swear to you, no lives will be lost among us, for we have learned to survive using each other. And that is exactly what we were going to do...survive.

Travel was much harder today, scurrying our way to the cliffs took a toll om the both of us. I kept my arm wrapped around Jeq for safety even with her protest. I knew she was strong enough to do it on her own, but I just needed an excuse to keep my hand around her waist.

It had seemed as though the day would remain clear, not much we could expect to happen, other then the few birds that swirled above our heads. With ease we take a rest near the edge of the cliffs. It was a rather beautiful sight, all of this to take in at once.

But when I looked to my left I saw the glowing smirk of Jeq, and that made the scene all the more enjoyable. I couldn't help but muster up the weakest of smiles. Someone had been looking out for us, maybe a day of peace would finally come our way.

I lay all of my item down, and sit near the grassy edge of the cliff, watching as the waves curl and retreat. It was like they had been tumbling in a game of tag. It wasn't long before I help Jeq to sit, and Held her close to me.

"Its important to pause for the little things, how often do we get to watch the ocean play tag with the sand?" I say sitting back onto my elbows, feeling the dull sun reflect from my face, today we would find serenity.
