by Bucky Barnes 3/30/2013, 8:32 pm"Okay, last chance, last look, do you have something to remember her by?" I ask as I make my way down the crater, resting my hand softly on her forehead. "Goodbye, Mo." I mutter and slink back to the top.

"Oh wait! I just remembered something," I say through my silent tears. "She always wanted me to have something of hers but mom said it was for Mo only. I hate to take it off of her, but she's always wanted me to have mom's ring. I don't know why . . ." I get quiet near the end. "But she always has . . ." I slide down to the bottom of the pit and retrieve the ring my mom had given her from the chain on her neck. The chain itself was also mom's so I decided to leave her with that.
Before I climb back to to top I take a long look at Mo's hair and remembering it whip around as we raced around the garden. As I look at her closed eyes, I remember how she looked as she slept and I watched over her. She was only four the first time she's asked me that. I recall the time she asked me to help her tie her shoes when I scanned her body. I grip the ring in my hand tight as I kneel down and kiss Mo's forehead. "Good luck, Mo."

"Okay, now we have said our goodbyes." I say softly. I reach down to help Cray out of the ditch. " Ready to cover?"

"I guess so," I say. "Let's get started."

I look at the body at the bottom of the ditch. We start shoveling the dirt in with our hands. Once it is covered i say "lets put the term 'pushing up daisies' to true use."

I come in and see two people and a buried body. I say, "Who are you, and what happened here?"

"My sister died that's what happened!" I shout, but take a deep breath to calm myself. "I'm Lewis Crawford but people call me Cray." I still don't face the boy. "Sorry I'm a bit emotional over the recent loss of my sister ten minutes ago."

"Good reasons" I mumble. I face the boy. "Why are you out here?" I ask, thunder rolls in the sky.

I say, "Just getting used to camp. I recently got here. I'm really sorry your sister died Cray. So that's who you're burying, if I had to guess. I didn't know people died within the boundaries of camp..."

"Suicide, that's why," I didn't want to be told 'I'm sorry' by someone I didn't know who they were. But, I was too upset to do anything about it. "She just wanted to see our mom. Who are you, anyway?"

I say, "I'm Garabed, but most people call me Garo." I wasn't sure about saying pleased to meet you. I had learned to be able to tell what people were thinking pretty well, and I could tell what Cray was thinking. I felt like an outcast. I had had nothing but trouble here. First I had ticked off Pyra without meaning to. Now I'd probably killed my only chance to try to make friends with Cray.

I look at Garo closely. He seemed to be having a hard time thinking of what to say next. "Cray, the body. We should, I dont know, actually bury it. I'm sorry, her."

"Sorry got distracted," I started to fill in hole.

I start to fill the hole and turn toward Garo. "Could use a little help here..."

"That is what was intended..." I say, half to myself. I scoop mud into the hole, watching the still body of Mo disappear under the earth. "Gods bless her soul." I say quietly.

I ask to no one at all, "Why did it have to be this way?" I shovel more dirt onto Mo.

"Did you even know her?" I ask him, not very happily.

I say, "No, but I still believe that things shouldn't have happened this way. My mother committed suicide in the army to stop the enemy from getting classified information."

"It's what happened," I say quietly. "I don't like that it happened, but it's how she felt and I'll respect that." I didn't want to admit it seemed selfish for her to end her life like this, but I felt that way.

I say, "For me, it wasn't how my mom felt. She committed suicide to save her country. She stopped classified information from falling into enemy hands. She had to do it. I accept that, but it's still not what she wanted, just what she needed to do."

I freeze, and stop momentarily before I turn around in mad rage. "You never knew Mo! I never enjoyed her decision, but I'll at least respect it! She was barely ten, she didn't know how to cope with it! I want to at least think she died with a somewhat okay reason! It's not really making me feel better that your comparing my sister, who never had a chance to be a hero, to some all mighty mother who saved her country!" I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "Look, your mom saved the country, I'm glad. We need more heroes like that in the world. But not everyone is a hero. My sister didn't have the chance because of me."

I say, "Look, I understand that. But it made me feel even worse than you do now because I never really got to know her. I didn't understand what happened when it happened. It left me scarred worse than you seem right now. I locked myself in my room for three whole months with food and water until someone came and got me out. I nearly committed suicide with my Imperial gold switchblade that my mother gave me, because it didn't work for her when she found it. I'm really sorry about Mo...but how is it your fault? She did it out of her own choices. Not yours. It's not anyone's fault for someone committing suicide! She did it out of her own free will."

"This isn't making me feel better. I know people have it worse than me, and it doesn't make me feel better to know it can get a whole lot worse . . . Thanks for the information, but can I ask you a favor to stop telling me about your mom. Maybe some other time, but right now, I can only stand thinking about one death," I quietly say. "Thanks for the effort. I appreciate it, but it's not exactly working." In reality, I wanted to scream and punch someone in the face but I tried to keep my cool. I didn't wanted to burden others with my loss, it wasn't anyone's fault . . . except my own.

I say, unable to stand it anymore, "So, you totally blow me off when I try to help and be a friend. I've had this experience too many times, from people at VNMS, except for Jack, my own stepfamily, and now I'm having it here. Nothing ever got better since my mother died. I don't know if anything is worth living for in my case." I put my switchblade right up to my neck and say, "I mean it."
OOC: Do you want Garo to die here or not? I don't know about it.
