Calypso Alternate Ending

“I don’t want to fail, but I don’t want you to have to lose me like you lost Demaris.” We threw away the glass and sat down at the table.

"Hey Laura, I'm sorry for making you feel bad back there." Carmilla was sad about making Laura cry.

“I guess we could call them. These people sound like saints. They must cost a fortune,” he pleaded.

I lean against the wall of the alley, staring out at the swarm of people rushing through the square, in the fading sunlight. I let out a sigh, as I realize that I need to come up, with my next move. I’ve been out here on the streets searching for the Rebels, for little under a week now, and I’m not any closer to finding them, then I was back in Gold district.

“Well, your father and I decided it was time I came to stay with you for a while to help Calpurnia.”

It was supposed to remain serene like it’s past years slumbering, yet, despite all of this, it awakened just to shake his village to it’s last roots. At first, it was another mellow rumble in the sky, over the peak of the lush mountains; there wasn’t very much to think but respite at the noise. Ceniza was sure that thunder brought rain in Quito, at least enough for his parents to drink instead of grimy dish water. No matter how much he feared the building sound, Ceniza forced himself out of the quiet hut out for at least one bucket of water, stretching out a metallic container in faith- just until a terrifying roar emerged from beneath him, evolving into a louder resound as the ground below him shifted violently, throwing Ceniza off balance.

Gasparro was keeping one wary eye on the stranger at the far table. Trouble. He had a feel for it. Night like this one, with the wind howling chill down off the steppes, and not a soul through the pass out of Midland for a month. Maybe longer. Times past, the common room would've been thick with travellers, tall tales, news. Times past. The Black Ram had always been a little run down. But now it was run down to the ground, and empty into the bargain. If people came, they didn't linger. They drank and left, or they wrapped themselves up in their cloaks and trudged on up the stairs to a room. A skittish glance and the words, "Hard times," was as much as came out of them.

    Alethia stood, causing Katherine to stop pacing. They faced each other. Alethia challenged, “Death follows us everywhere we go. Every person you meet will face their end and you will not have aged a day. No matter where you travel, you see death. No party or drunken confession can mask the fact that others will waste away long before we part.”

Calum watches Michael silently while he sleeps, his bare chest slowly moving up and down as he snores softly. The sun is barely peeking through the curtain on the other side of the hotel room, softly laying across the side of Michael's face, and Calum can see little dust motes dancing around in the light.

She texted Dakota about what happened and was about go to sleep when she looked out her window. She saw the clown hiding behind the neighbors tall hedges. “That's it”, Blue whispered. The Mangels was looking at her, leaning out of the hedges. She walked over to her closet and grabbed her favorite airsoft rifle and waited in the window for the clown to show himself.

“That is all right. I know that neither of us have any money,” said Greedy.

“Oi, Cos!” Cosima could hear Sarah call out to her from behind but it didn’t matter. She couldn’t be around her sister right now, couldn’t stomach their looks of pity. Not when she had to find Delphine.

"I don't need your money." she picked it up and tried to protest, "You don't have to...I mean I was the one bugging you. Your

“Can you two shut up for a minute. I am trying to think,” I had to scream for them to hear me.” I feel sick, but not like I am going to die type of sick.
