"Lily , you waited for me?" , he pressed the words into her blonde strands, inhaling the scent and retaining her in his lungs. Her tear filled gaze peered up as she transferred the morning glory from her hair to the space between his earlobe and head . "I wanted to give this to you Daddy, it's wilted , I think it died-I'm sorry-" As Carters embrace enveloped her whole he whispered into the magenta dust, "Now, we don't apologise for kindness , do we , huh?" Her head shook against his biceps as she whispered through tears "But it's not pretty anymore-" Carter, removing the flower from his ear and holding its petals above Lily's head, its silhouette framed with orange hues he said, "Everthing is beautiful sometimes, I'm going to take you to ...pick some flowers for Mommy because-" Carter , planting a kiss to her forehead , confronted the rancid heat as he placed the flower behind her ear, piecing together his resolve "-because she will find her way back to us, and she will need the biggest bunch ever . Your Dad's gonna bring her home to us safe, and your can put a ring of flowers in her hair, imagine that-but I need you to do something for me, Lily. I'm gonna leave my boots right here -and you just stay by them. No matter what you see-or hear-you you cover your eyes and stay by them. Even if you cry, there are people who will looking for these boots, good people , who will take care of you until I get back, okay?" Her eyes grew imperceptible with emotion as she asked, her voice trembling "But where are you going? Where is Mommy?" Carter's hand entangled itself in his daughter's hair as he found, and wrestled with each singular word on his tongue. "She's... in the other heaven. It's like the one we go to when -well , only this heaven is real. It's a place that is beautiful like your flower, but also, at night it isn't so pretty . But it's nots not goodbye , Lily , it's just ...I'll be back in a while huh?". As he placed his boots , in perfect alignment, their soles an exact inch apart , the calling card was a grave picture before his desperate eyes. As he watched her slide down beside his shoes , and he coerced his legs to walk away, his almost silent prayer hung in the growing distance. "Please spare my daughter ." /// As Carter grasped her wrist, dangling over his shoulder, his fingers locating her pulse point , his touch was left cold. As he fought to breathe , his binds inching closer to his chest, only the pulse of his own heat racing through his veins was stark in the night. Unmet "Lily? Oh God , no...Lily. my little girl-you bastards-" . She'd been there , upon his shoulders for longer than he fathomed as a cruel sun seeped through the shutters, his vision enslaved to blindness. "Help me...please don't force me to live-She's the only morning glory that-". Carter pled as the stark realization of where his daughter had been laid to rest washed through him. He contained the urge to vomit, as he held her fingers in his own , and choked back tears. The silence was almost as loud as the abyss in his chest as his throat closed around his breath. The voice was low, clinical, but exacting. "The only morning glory you ever-nurtured ? The smallest seed , her fate now sown? Oh , Carter. She might have wanted you to have....this." A wilted blue flower, azure in its hue yet tainted with the shades of amber , gazed at him as his retinas burned. His blindfold , inevitably pushed upwards as his eyes fluttered open, exposed his gold flecked irises to the petals by his eyelids. "The one she picked...for you, Daddy? Ah. The one she wore in her hair when I plucked her from the spot you begged her to wait in. Or did she disobey you after all? Either way, say your last goodbye , as she lays to rest on your shoulders. " Valen's voice mocked from a distance, and Carter held himself still , her body threatening to fall from his back if he let his grief escape him. . Carter twisted his head away from the flower as tears moistened the delicate remnants of his daughter's innocence. "Why not me instead? " he asked through clenched teeth, as he his fingers sought hers and he enveloped her lifeless hand in his own. "You physche was inaccessible after a sustained period of torture. To shatter your heart, was the brilliance within a father so ...in love with his child -that was-the brightest spark in the sky tonight. Until she fell. Her pallbearer, you shall be , until death." Valen's footsteps echoed amongst Carters torrent of sorrow as he lay, bound underneath his Lilly's once vibrant heart. . As his tears stained the concrete , and his binds inched around his flesh with a menacing grip, he heard bare feet drag themselves toward him "Oh God-" Liam's voice whispered as his kneecaps came to a stop at Carters head. " Ryan-" , Liam yelled, his voice thickening" As Ryan caught up , his eyes swept over the horror and whispered "We're going to get you both out of here, close your eyes Carter, deep breaths, Ill get the binds off-" Carters's heaves were dry and pierced with resistance as he begged his rescuers. "No-leave me here -" A knife sliced his ribs free , his binds snapping and Liam gently lifted her frail body into his arms, his blue gaze contrasting with the flower as he retrieved it from the ground and tucked int behind her hair. Carter , crawling to his knees and burning his eyes in his forearm , shook violently as Liam exited the steel walled room, and Ryan slung an arm over Carters back. "We can't leave you here , but if you need to be alone-" As Carter pulled Ryan into desperate proximity he raped "my wife... then my daughter, but they left me alive -I" Ryan's silence was the only solace as Carters tears filled the hollow of his clavicle, and the sun rose , its harshness painting a new day over their silhouette . "I-can't leave-My wife Si-Sienna....where is she ?" As Ryan held Carters's shoulders he said in a solid, hollow voice, its metallic edge soothing Carter's brain. "Your wife is with your daughter , Sienna and Lily are with Liam. You don't have to leave , here is fair enough , I ain't saying you need to stand up ." Carter's strangled voice hit the walls as he rasped "I can't - I can't walk, -I" Ryan's grip, firm on Carter's shaking arms , contained the violence of his despair raging through him. "I've got you , for as long as it takes" , Ryan assured. Carter's pleas ragged in the air , puncturing the moment. "I'll never stand again, Ryan I-I don't want to keep going -leave me here , please . " There was a long silence as Ryan disengaged himself from Carter's grasp, his voice a whisper. "When you stand for them, we'll carry you, brother" ----// as Liam stood , holding her body in his arms , he ran a palm over her eyes , as they closed under his touch. The day had emptied itself onto his back as he rested his gaze on the ceiling. Carters faint retches , devoid of voice, struck his core as his own tears skewed his vision and he leaned against the wall where Siennas body lay, covered in rough fabric. ///// As his aching skull, enraged with the pulse of his shattered heart , came to rest on his thigh, he gazed into the empty room . "Liam, I want you to take -my family home. Please. I trust you to-" He was met by Liam's gravelled voice. "Consider it done, brother. Ryan will help you into your clothes, you have one thing to carry with you-your dignity-" . Hours dragged as Carter clung to Ryan, his footsteps falling backwards as he sought leverage in the faltering struggle for balance . "Keep your head down, and focus on the footpath, it's only a few miles. " Ryan's voice , smooth with his own inflection of grief , assured as Carter's posture slackened . Ryan -I -I can still hear her. I ... Sienna...she's in my head and I need to stop-" As the concrete swam under his shins as he collapsed, every fibre of his being trembled with a futile exhaustion , as his palms found his hazel eyes. "Liam, just continue, can't have you both on the brink of -" There was a quiet but unmistakable groan as Liam clenched his teeth and hoisted the dark shadows in his arms closer to his chest. "Not as heavy as what he's carrying, It's only a mile , Ry-" as Ryan's open palm came to rest upon Carter's shoulder blades , as he straddled the curb , his right leg hanging onto the traffic -bare road, Ryan knelt under the cracked streetlight. "Tell me, Carter, what was the last thing Sienna said to you? " Carter's barricaded face obstructed his response as he whispered ."don't ask me that, what difference does it-" Then as Ryan drew Carter into his lap , hinging his arm around his stomach and dragging his legs onto the footpath , Carter answered "She said-just protect our baby girl -she was -she went without a fight just to-sacrifice-. What man can live with" Ryan's tears remained in his eyes as he glanced into the sallow neon glow above him . "Now her words , they have a reality . They are what is left behind ." Carter, not registering a car as it sailed past, reached out and grabbed the collar of Ryan's shirt as he growled through tears . "No , they are what haunt me , I can't live to honour a sacrifice that my impotence destroyed . You listen to me Ryan-I'd still give my life just to even the playing field ." : Ryan tightened his grip on. Carter's arm, pulling him into an embrace that bled a warmth and a wordless moment of connective despair. "Carter , you loved them with everything you had left. You won't rebuild it. You won't be the same again. And it wouldn't be fair to that field if you dared to be. But , your true impotence will be to deny who are . You'll never escape it, even in your own demise. Not one second will elapse you without you knowing it. It's how the road will lay beneath your feet forever. Whether you walk , or not. " As Liam reached the splintered window panes , shards of glass crunching under his boots, he came to a standstill by Carter's shoes, untouched in the night. "We're full circle, you can lift you head, you need to formthis is where your final memory..memory will be forged. Because , through hell, I walked with them. I carried them for you , Carter. . And this is unfinished. youYou ought to be the one to inter them, and know this ; You'll never have to die again. This is -already an end. A lossend, the ultimate loss. And it may be that none of us can know . Youryour heart may have to beat although dead. But if you fall , brother, know that you fall for them. " Liam lay Lily and Sienna by the untouched boots, their laces stripped , a haunting reminder of the calling card where Carter had reunited with his daughter earlier that day. The sun had already begun its chilling ascent , a magenta canvas to the outlines of their weary frames as the day unfurled without hesitation, without condolence .

"Lily , you waited for me?" , he pressed the words into her blonde strands, inhaling the scent and retaining her in his lungs. Her tear filled gaze peered up as she transferred the morning glory from her hair to the space between his earlobe and head .

Her head shook against his biceps as she whispered through tears "But it's not pretty anymore-" Carter, removing the flower from his ear and holding its petals above Lily's head, its silhouette framed with orange hues he said, "Everthing is beautiful sometimes, I'm going to take you to ...pick some flowers for Mommy because-" Carter , planting a kiss to her forehead , confronted the rancid heat as he placed the flower behind her ear, piecing together his resolve "-because she will find her way back to us, and she will need the biggest bunch ever .

Carter's hand entangled itself in his daughter's hair as he found, and wrestled with each singular word on his tongue. "She's... in the other heaven. It's like the one we go to when -well , only this heaven is real. It's a place that is beautiful like your flower, but also, at night it isn't so pretty . But it's nots not goodbye , Lily , it's just ...I'll be back in a while huh?".

He contained the urge to vomit, as he held her fingers in his own , and choked back tears. The silence was almost as loud as the abyss in his chest as his throat closed around his breath. The voice was low, clinical, but exacting. "The only morning glory you ever-nurtured ? The smallest seed , her fate now sown? Oh , Carter. She might have wanted you to have....this." A wilted blue flower, azure in its hue yet tainted with the shades of amber , gazed at him as his retinas burned. His blindfold , inevitably pushed upwards as his eyes fluttered open, exposed his gold flecked irises to the petals by his eyelids. "The one she picked...for you, Daddy? Ah. The one she wore in her hair when I plucked her from the spot you begged her to wait in. Or did she disobey you after all? Either way, say your last goodbye , as she lays to rest on your shoulders.

"We can't leave you here , but if you need to be alone-" As Carter pulled Ryan into desperate proximity he raped "my wife... then my daughter, but they left me alive -I" Ryan's silence was the only solace as Carters tears filled the hollow of his clavicle, and the sun rose , its harshness painting a new day over their silhouette . "I-can't leave-My wife Si-Sienna....where is she ?" As Ryan held Carters's shoulders he said in a solid, hollow voice, its metallic edge soothing Carter's brain.

" Ryan-" , Liam yelled, his voice thickening" As Ryan caught up , his eyes swept over the horror and whispered "We're going to get you both out of here, close your eyes Carter, deep breaths, Ill get the binds off-" Carters's heaves were dry and pierced with resistance as he begged his rescuers. "No-leave me here -" A knife sliced his ribs free , his binds snapping and Liam gently lifted her frail body into his arms, his blue gaze contrasting with the flower as he retrieved it from the ground and tucked int behind her hair. Carter , crawling to his knees and burning his eyes in his forearm , shook violently as Liam exited the steel walled room, and Ryan slung an arm over Carters back. "We can't leave you here , but if you need to be alone-" As Carter pulled Ryan into desperate proximity he raped "my wife... then my daughter, but they left me alive -I" Ryan's silence was the only solace as Carters tears filled the hollow of his clavicle, and the sun rose , its harshness painting a new day over their silhouette . "I-can't leave-My wife Si-Sienna....where is she ?" As Ryan held Carters's shoulders he said in a solid, hollow voice, its metallic edge soothing Carter's brain. "Your wife is with your daughter , Sienna and Lily are with Liam. You don't have to leave , here is fair enough , I ain't saying you need to stand up ." Carter's strangled voice hit the walls as he rasped "I can't - I can't walk, -I" Ryan's grip, firm on Carter's shaking arms , contained the violence of his despair raging through him. "I've got you , for as long as it takes" , Ryan assured. Carter's pleas ragged in the air , puncturing the moment. "I'll never stand again, Ryan I-I don't want to keep going -leave me here , please . " There was a long silence as Ryan disengaged himself from Carter's grasp, his voice a whisper. "When you stand for them, we'll carry you, brother" ----// as Liam stood , holding her body in his arms , he ran a palm over her eyes , as they closed under his touch. The day had emptied itself onto his back as he rested his gaze on the ceiling. Carters faint retches , devoid of voice, struck his core as his own tears skewed his vision and he leaned against the wall where Siennas body lay, covered in rough fabric. ///// His aching skull, enraged with the pulse of rising nausea, slumped against the surface of his thigh. "Liam, take them home. If there's one damned person -" Liam's gravelled voice met him from outside their concrete purgatory, a dead lifeline in the pulsing night that shrunk around him. "Consider it done, brother. " Ryan will help you into your clothes, you have one thing to carry with you-your dignity-" . There was the insipid , beige tint of his flesh, as he steadied a hand at his blood soaked hairline . Hours dragged as Carter clung to Ryan, his footsteps falling backwards as he sought leverage in the faltering struggle for balance . "Keep your head down, and focus on the footpath, it's only a few miles. " Ryan's voice , smooth with his own inflection of grief , assured as Carter's posture slackened . Ryan -I -I can still hear her. I ... Sienna...she's in my head and I need to stop-" As the concrete swam under his shins as he collapsed, every fibre of his being trembled with a futile exhaustion , as his palms found his hazel eyes. "Liam, just continue, can't have you both on the brink of -" There was a quiet but unmistakable groan as Liam clenched his teeth and hoisted the dark shadows in his arms closer to his chest. "Not as heavy as what he's carrying, It's only a mile , Ry-" as Ryan's open palm came to rest upon Carter's shoulder blades , as he straddled the curb , his right leg hanging onto the traffic -bare road, Ryan knelt under the cracked streetlight. "Tell me, Carter, what was the last thing Sienna said to you? " Carter's barricaded face obstructed his response as he whispered ."don't ask me that, what difference does it-" Then as Ryan drew Carter into his lap , hinging his arm around his stomach and dragging his legs onto the footpath , Carter answered "She said-just protect our baby girl -she was -she went without a fight just to-sacrifice-. What man can live with" Ryan's tears remained in his eyes as he glanced into the sallow neon glow above him . "Now her words , they have a reality . They are what is left behind ." Carter, not registering a car as it sailed past, reached out and grabbed the collar of Ryan's shirt as he growled through tears . "No , they are what haunt me , I can't live to honour a sacrifice that my impotence destroyed . You listen to me Ryan-I'd still give my life just to even the playing field ." : Ryan tightened his grip on. Carter's arm, pulling him into an embrace that bled a warmth and a wordless moment of connective despair. "Carter , you loved them with everything you had left. You won't rebuild it. You won't be the same again. And it wouldn't be fair to that field if you dared to be. But , your true impotence will be to deny who are . You'll never escape it, even in your own demise. Not one second will elapse you without you knowing it. It's how the road will lay beneath your feet forever. Whether you walk , or not. " As Liam reached the splintered window panes , shards of glass crunching under his boots, he came to a standstill by Carter's shoes, untouched in the night. "We're full circle, this is where your final memory will be forged. Because I carried them through hell . And I'd do it again, but this is unfinished . I carried them for you , but my part here is done. The haze of dust and moonlight shine over the debris, as Liam paused at Carters side, a broken doorframe in his hands. " for a lack of a shovel-I can help you but only so far . You need to inter them, Carter. His voice was below a whisper as Carter steadied his grip on the makeshift shovel, and shook his head . "You're right. Only I can seal the fate that I -"Carter said, his voice a hollow shell . Liam , leaving his calloused palm on the doorframe , enveloping Carters trembling knuckles this he spoke with cracks of heat in his even tone " You'll never have to die again, Carter. This is -already an end, the ultimate loss. And it may be that your hear will continue to beat although dead. But if you fall , brother, know that you fall for them. " Liam had lain Lily and Sienna by the untouched boots, with their laces stripped , a haunting reminder of the calling card where Carter had reunited with his daughter earlier that day. The sun had already begun its chilling ascent , a magenta canvas to the outlines of their weary frames as the day unfurled without hesitation, without condolence . It was the closure that opened his greatest wound, and he was alone to bleed out into his eternity.///////
