onepiece_300Title: This was my choice
Word count: 200
Characters: Ace, mentions of Marco and the others.
Rating.: uh. PG? not sure.
Warning: Character death
Prompt: Choices
Note: Okay, took me a bit to get back into writing and this is what came out of it. it's lame but I guess I like it enough to post it on here.
------------------
This had been his choice.
The burning pain of the sword penetrating his chest.
Hurry, and get out of here you fools.
Right choices didn’t stop tears from falling down.
The blood gushing from his wound warmed his skin.
It was quite. All was silent.
The deafening silence, this was death.
They had made the wrong choice by coming.
He was making the right choice by taking away that for which they had come.
Hurry up you fools, and leave while you can.
And while he had said that he’d either accept the hand reaching out to him, or the sword that would swung down. He knew that the latter was the most likely one to safe the people he cared for.
And when all attention was diverted to his little brother. It was his time to move.
He launched himself towards the guard, he knew the guard would strike him down.
It had hurt more than he had thought.
The moment the sword penetrated his skin, he smiled.
Looking up, the look of disbelief on Marco’s face, circling above him was clear.
And Marco saw the words Ace mouthed, it didn’t stop his grief.
“This was my choice. “
so yeah. The warning that I had to get back into writing seems on it's place. XD

Date: 2009-12-08 10:32 pm (UTC)Wow. It's well written, and makes me go NOOOOO. ^^;; And it's not implausible at all... I really think this was the reason Ace was so accepting when he was about to be killed last chapter. He'd rather die than having his nakama die trying to save him.
...but then again, his nakama wouldn't just get the hell out of there if he died now. If it was too late when Ace was in Impel Down, it's definitely too late now.

I'm happy you find it beautiful.
I guess it's why I see ace doing this that I wrote it, but I don't want it to happen. =.= I think I'd be kind of broken if it did.

I'm really hoping that my guessing/prediction skills are 100% off the record as like they always are. Guess. I think I'll kind of break if Ace does this. or if he gets killed.
but I just had to write the angst off me.
[[ sorry for infecting one piece with angst_bunnies. I'll take punishment now. XD ]]

You are important to
