Even Angels Cry....

Even after that horrible battle, she could still see the pain in his eyes as she delivered the last blow. He had been lost inside himself for most of his life, and even the day she said "I do", the empire would fall even if she tried to save him.

Yes, he beat her regularly, cheated on her and abused her, but she still stayed... for the twins and because she could see the good within him. for the curse he held was the one most vampires feared... that of the Black Ruby.

After she plunged the sword into his heart, twisting it, his hand fell lifeless to the ground, bearing within it the locket that held their family's picture... The twins.... her....

She fell to the ground, clutching her arms about her as she sobbed. Not long after, she took the sword from her husband's heart cavity and plunged it into her stomach, then collapsed to the ground.

She woke up in the brilliance of white, as she saw she had been called to Heaven by the Gods and Goddesses. She looked around, to see if her beloved Thomas was there... but he was not. The Earth Goddess, Gaia, handed her the locket, which has the faint remains of his soul... but it was black... and then she knew.

He was destined to hell all along.... This is when for the first time, an Angel cried.
