Help You To Say Goodbye

Story
She watched as if in slow motion, her brother fall off the horse. He was way too easily knocked down. Elkannah Le Poulet was one of the best this century has seen. What could possibly be happening?

He twitched for a while, and then all was still. She got a sickening feeling in her stomach as she ran onto the field. Slowly, she took her brother's hand. It was cold. His chest was still.

"You, you better be alright!" She yelled through her tears. "You have something to tell me! I forbid you to be dead!" She screamed until her voice went hoarse.

She stared up at her brother's opponent, who held the trophy in his hands. She launched herself at him, screeching: "You killed him!" She clawed at his face, leaving bloody furrows in the sides of his face, tears blurring her vision

Strong yet gentle hands pulled her off of the man. The fourteen year old was pulled to her mother as her hand stroked her hair.

Mama whispered softly, time will ease your pain

Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same, 

How can I help you, to say goodbye

It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to cry

Come let me hold you, and I will try

How can I help you, 

to say goodbye.
