Chrysalis

[Kaze]

And the sky became closer, filling her eyes.With a whisper of wind hitting her face and hair, she looked around and saw that she was no longer within the cell that kept the darkness of her heart closed for so long.She was in Manhattan. Central Park District. The Great Hill. Her favorite spot in the whole wide planet. The sky was blue, the sun was dousing her body in warmth and yet a small breeze ran through her, keeping her cool.

Perfection.

A family having a small picnic. An artist painting. People walking. A young man sitting with his back to a tree, reading a paper edition of War and Peace. She walked between these people, and felt contempt. With a smile and her face down, watching her feet taking steps in the grass, it was bliss. But a small, almost whispering klink was caught by her ear, in the myriad of happy sounds that filled the Hill. Kaze raised her head in the direction of the sound, and saw a bright orange hair at the distance, taking a knee to the grass. A chill went through her spine.

Death was here.

She looked at her, putting down a small briefcase. And with precise movements, a small scoped laser rifle was assembled in a matter of seconds. Carefully taking aim, Death set her eyes on the target. Kaze followed the direction to where the barrel was aimed at, and another chill went through her spine. Jordan, her Jordan, was the target. He was sitting on a bench with a woman. A woman Kaze did not recognize. And yet she did. She could feel her perfume from a distance. She could hear their conversation. And it sickened her.

Kaze looked back at Death, who was trailing her shot, and pacing herself for the shot. With a scream, she could alert everyone. With a run, she could stop it. And yet she didn't. She looked at Jordan and the woman kissing..
And with a small tear coming down from her left eye, she kept silent. She didn't move. She waited for Death to do what she always did and couldn't be stopped.

And with a whisper, as Death caressed the trigger finger and let loose a marksman shot, Kaze whispered.

"Kill them all."
