"Are you sure this is what you want to do?"
"I tried so hard to save her, only to curse her with hell. This is the only way to fix it."
There's no option left but this."
Backed into a corner, she flew into the sky, holding her ever so delicate twin sister. How long had it been? A year? More? And still it wasn't enough time - but now they had mere minutes. It would be okay. This should have happened a year ago. As painful as it was, all goodbyes had to be said and Io had already paid the price for wanting more time. "You're awake." She tried to modify her voice, to make it sound like her own, back when she was a human. But Fina's voice was to smooth, too girlish. Io's was more rough, rugged, would Callisto recognize? They were twins, but was that enough? "It's me, Cali. It's Io. You told me... that you were suffering." She made her best smile as they flew across the light sky, searching for the sea.
"I'm setting you free now. Just a bit longer, you deserve a better end than in some dark dinky hell hole."
Too bad it wasn't going to be some pretty sight like the sunset. Still, there was nothing wrong with an afternoon gaze at the crashing waves before the end, was there? "Once upon a time, we both dreamed to see the sea, to take a trip and see it. Mom and dad never got around to it, but Metis tried to take us once. Do you remember how hard he tried to take us there?" Io remembered it as if it were yesterday. It was the middle of the night and Metis was frantic, bundling his sisters into the car and whisking them away. "But the hospital called and told him he couldn't, that you needed to stay overnight." Metis was so desperate because that was the night Callisto was first diagnosed with her cancer, after all.
"Too bad he can't be here with us now. It's just us and no one else." Battery power was low, but not low enough that it was critical. It would be fine. "Fine enough to get me back to Minnie, I hope." Fina reminded her sadly in the echoes of her head. Io would make sure of it - she promised after all. "And once this business is done, I won't interfere in your life anymore. I'll sleep and you won't have to worry about me again." It was a win-win deal here, as long as she finished the job here and now.
Feet touched the ground, the shore was brisk and loud, waves rumbling it's pleasant song as it smashed against the rocks below them. The wind felt cleaner here, away from the smog of the city. Out here, was there peace? Or just another hell awaiting her on the other side? "Don't take too long. Jace is coming, I can sense her." They had no time, it was already time for goodbyes. "You can't see, can you? I'll see for you, then." Io sat down, laying Callisto's head against her lap, turning on the heaters so she could provide warmth for her sister.
"We're here, it's the ocean. The waves crashing on the rocks, the sun glimmering, getting ready to begin it's setting. The rippling of the water, the birds flying in their v formations, getting ready for winter's arrival. The fish leaping out of the water, as if copying the whales they see." There was so much to see, but Io would have to only hope Callisto could see it somehow. "I'm sorry for messing everything up, sis. That's all I was ever good at." This would be the only thing she didn't fail at. This whole thing was her fault... but Io was going to fix it now.
With a loving caress, she held her hand to Callisto's cheek. "I know, it hurts. It's okay. I'll end it now. I'm here until the end, sis." She took a deep breath, hand shaking. Why couldn't she do it? Why wasn't the blade coming out? "A-and I'll be fine! Even after you're gone, so don't worry about me. Everything will be fine."
Deep breath. Wipe away the tears that aren't there.
Blade extended, edge into flesh.
"Bye bye."
