He didn't know why he was there.

He didn't know how, but he found himself standing on the rooftop of a 30-storey building, looking over to the ground.

He should be scared. But no, he felt calm.

Strangely calm.

He wasn't afraid of the height he's in.

No, he's more afraid of falling.

But he found himself unbothered by that. In fact, the ground seemed enticing for him at this height.

Why was he thinking that? He honestly don't know.

In fact, the past few days had been fuzzy to him. He doesn't remember anything clearly. All he can see are flashes of faces he doesn't know.

He swallowed the lump in his throat. He felt like crying, and he didn't know why. He didn't know anything much these days.

But he was sure of one thing. He just wanted all of it to end.

"Cyclone?"

"Quake." His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't used it for a long time.

The earth elemental took one look at Cyclone and internally flinched. He looked worse for wear. His clothes were crumpled and torn in many places, and his eyes were a dull cerulean blue. Still, Cyclone managed a smile.

"What are you doing here, Quake?" Cyclone asked, easily falling into a mask of happiness.

"I should ask you that question, Cyclone."

The wind elemental's smile faded and was replaced by a broken look. "You can't stop me, Quake."

"If I can't, then I'll just see to it that you'll have no regrets," Quake said softly.

Cyclone looked at him in the eye. "I have no regrets."

Quake felt a pang in his heart at the outmost sincerity of his words. They had pushed him too far. "I'm sorry," he whispered regretfully.

Cyclone gave him a bitter smile. "Don't be. Goodbye, Quake."

The wind elemental put one foot backwards and let himself fall from the 30-storey building with nothing to catch him down below.

Death/Angst Count: Taufan: 2 deaths, 4 angst

I'm gonna start keeping tabs on who I kill and torture. So far, Gem had the highest angst count with 9 points, and Solar had the highest death count with 9 points as well.

I don't know why I did that, but I feel very happy and satisfied.

Lovelots,

Glace, the Queen of Angst
