Description
Lelouch’s POV:

As I ran breathlessly towards the front door, I analyzed every possible angle of my plan for flaws. Unfortunately, there were too many unknown elements which prevented me from deducing the likelihood of its success. But I had to do it; many lives were at stake, including Suzaku, my best friend.

Suzaku was battling one of the creatures, drawing its attention away from me. Suzaku was undoubtedly a good fighter, but to be honest, his odds of killing it were extremely low. Our only chance of eliminating all of the creatures at once was to activate the emergency evacuation procedure, but to do that, one of us had to go to the control room in the next building and override the security controls.

I finally reached the door and my eyes rested upon her.

Reader’s POV:

Lelouch seemed calm and collected. He was probably analyzing the situation and formulating a plan. The thought brought about a thin smile on my lips. But as he came closer, I realized that his eyes held a look of anxiety, and guilt.

Could it be that something had happened to Suzaku?

I knew the two of them were close; childhood friends if I remember correctly. Lelouch’s eyes met mine and I saw him mouth my name. His hand grabbed the door handle and pulled.

Nothing. The door didn’t budge.

He tried again and again but the door didn’t even move the tiniest bit.

This was bad. Maybe I can break the glass and..

Apparently, Lelouch was thinking the same thing as me. I saw him look around and he must have seen something because he took a step back and reached out for something. As he bent forward, I saw movement from his left.

No. LELOUCH!

I pounded on the door and screamed his name, hoping to get his attention before..

..the creature leaped onto Lelouch as he was turning towards me, his eyes widening in shock. In an instant, Lelouch was brought to the floor and all I saw were a bunch of tentacles whipping around in the air.

No……Lelouch…

No no.. it can’t be.. Damn it you bastard!!

My grief turned into rage and I pounded the door, hoping to draw the creature’s attention away although I knew it was probably too late.

Suddenly, the tentacles disappeared from my view. I stopped pounding.

Something was getting up.

Not something.

Someone.

Le..
