Zack's POV

You were prepared to take the bullet for (y/n), but that situation never came to pass.

An arrow pierced through Danny's shoulder from above. Father gray stood upon the scaffolding, holding a crossbow.

Gray: "I never knew what a truly selfish man you could be, Danny."

He paused.

Danny: "Reverend...it's you...why...?"

He angrily pulled out the arrow and tossed it away. He wasn't ready to go down.

Danny: "Not yet! Goodbye, Zack. You've eluded me for the last time!"

Another arrow was shot into Danny's knee, and he fell. He clenched his teeth angrily.

The priest turned his attention to you.

Gray: "Now, son. Are you still able to move?..."

Reality hadn't reached you yet.

Gray: "Well?!"

Your gaze was fixed on (y/n)' s face. You completely ignored the fire inching closer to you. Your heart was in pieces.

Zack: "Listen, preacher. I ain't got time for your games. Save it..."

You shook as you spoke darkly. You didn't want to be toyed around with anymore. There was only thing you wanted, and it was gone forever.

Gray: "If you have any strength left to gather, then you should use it to carry them to safety."

You snapped your head toward the old man.

Zack: "What for?! See all that blood?! No one lives through that! What's the point in tryin' to save somebody who's dead?!"

Tears welled in your eyes.

Gray: "(y/n) (l/n) is still alive. If you leave at once, then their life will be saved."

You couldn't trust him. It could be a trap.. But, it also may not be.

Zack: "What are you sayin'?"

You heard Danny stand up behind you. Gray readied his crossbow.

Gray: "Make haste, and you will see, but you must go immediately! You'll understand in due time!"

You shook away your suspicions and complied. You picked (y/n) up in your arms as gently as possible, completely ignoring your own pain.

You had accepted so quickly that it was over, all the struggle and confusion. You wouldn't have had to kill them yourself. You could have died alongside them, and by some miracle, you'd end up together. That's all you wanted in the end anyway, was to be with them. You didn't want to get your hopes up, but the prospect of neither of you having to die to achieve that fate, was too good to pass up.

Danny: "Die, Zack...Just die!"

You heard the crossbow shoot again, and Danny shouted in pain behind you. You entered the door without paying him any mind. Behind it was a long hallway to another door. You limped toward it.

3rd person POV

Danny groaned and pulled the arrow from his arm. Father Gray approached him calmly.

Gray: "Who could have imagined that things would turn out this way?"

Danny: "Reverend Gray.. Why?"
