Elizabeth sighed in relief as she realized she had passed yet another test. The material covered her eyes, and Elizabeth squared her shoulders back, readying herself for yet another challenge. But when she opened her eyes, and saw her two options, her determination seeped away. Glancing down to the locket she had yet to put on, she secured the chain around her neck, holding onto the locket with a tight grip. Worry filled her expression. She simply didn't want to choose.@Xibilation:
The switch caused the harpoon to jump to life, piercing the shadow in the water, and dragging it upon the boat, all three of the smaller ones resting safely on the giant squid's carcas as their occupants ran through the now open door to greet her, wrapping their arms around her in a warm embrace as the locket began to glow, opening wide and swallowing the three inside, a small pair of pictures now visible with her father on the left, and her Wills on the right.
A cloth-like material spread from the chain, enveloping the woman in warmth, covering her eyes before moving her to another place, unveiling yet another crossroads to her, this one not being a simple 'yes or no', but having the hardest decision she would ever have to make: to go to her husband or her son, no other choices, merely these two branches, and nothing but a dark abyss ahead of her, spiralling down, down, down, what seemed like forever, into nothingness.
But it seemed as if there was no other option. Her heart ached as she looked at the desperate faces of her husband, and her son. She wasn't sure what choosing one would do to the other- though she was sure it would be unbearable. The dark abyss seemed the better option. Looking back up at them, they seemed to notice the finality in her face, and both looked at her with even more desperation than before. But Elizabeth knew what she was going to do.
"I love you both. Please, I..." Her voice slowly dyed out. She didn't know what else she could say. And before she could ponder it any longer, she ran forward, and jumped into the abyss.
Falling, falling, falling.........
