Chapter 1: Present Day

It wasn't supposed to end like this. Noone was meant to die. She wasn't meant to die. It was supposed to be a prank. A small harmless joke that had now cost someone's li- her life. Yet no one was laughing. We stood as still as soldiers on the blood ridden floor after the war had ended, staring, just staring at her cold motionless body, for what felt like hours but had been barely a minute. The sharp, icy breath of death encased the room and ran through our bodies one at a time. How did we get to this point? My best friend...gone...because of me.
