Acid the Dilo part 13

13. 13 is my unlucky number. Spitfire was level 13. It was the 13th. I woke up dazed and disoriented. The hissing was gone, the cave now eerily silent. Acid was standing over me; a sad look in her eye. “What happened?” I asked confused. “ Where’s Spitfire?!” I asked worriedly as I realized he wasn’t with Acid. Acid said nothing she simply looked past me to a spot under the sunlight. I stood up trembling. There in the small patch of sunlight lay Spitfire’s cold body. Tears began to stream down my face. “What happened?!” I demanded again. Acid looked away trying to pull herself together. “When you were nocked out I ran to your side to protect you.” She began. “I almost died but Spitfire jumped in, luring them away. I tried to help him but another snake started to attack me and before I new it...” Acid stopped unable to continue. For the first time I noticed the snake bodies littering the ground. I walked up to Acid and through my arms around her. “You did your best.” I whispered into her ear. We left Spitfire in that awful cave, under the only bit of light that filtered through. Acid and I left. We couldn’t stand to be there for another moment. I still haven’t been back there. Spitfire’s sacrifice will be remembered.

Part 14 coming soon!
