Hero

By TaladarkieJJ

Alone. That's what I was now. Completely alone.

I watched the enormous spaceship cloak and take off, returning to wherever they - these creatures.. these warriors - had come from. Wherever my saviour had come from, where his broken body would be returned. The icy wind scraped against my skin but I didn't care. My eyes were locked onto the night sky, not quite sure what I was hoping to see. For there wasn't any more to see. It was over and I was alone. My team was gone. Dead. Poor sweet Sebastian. Dead. Even the hunters. Dead.

Scar. Yes I had taken the time to name him for he had proved to be worthy. Thinking about him made my heart ache. He had killed members of my team but he had also saved my life. How could one forget that? I definitely couldn't. And never I would. Two things. The cold steel I was holding onto, yet it felt warm at the thought of him.. and the scar from my marking. Closing my eyes, I let my fingers slide over my cheek. A small smile tugged at the corners of my mouth. It was his gift to me. A sign of his respect, his appreciation, his acceptance. And of me being a warrior. Oh it had hurt. But it was nothing compared to the hurt I now felt at the loss of him. At the hurt of seeing him die and not be able to do anything. Not be able to save him like he had saved me only minutes before. Like I couldn't save Sebastian but at least I had ended his suffering. For him I had done something. For Scar.. I had done nothing.

I felt a single tear escape my eye as I tried to stop the pain, the guilt from building up inside of me. No. I was wrong. I had done something. I had survived. I had killed aliens along side him. We had even killed the Alien Queen. And when he lay dying, blood pooling around his fallen body.. I had held his hand. We were a team. We would always be a team. For I would never forget. For he would always be my hero. Or Anti Hero. I shook my head and chuckled softly at how ridiculous it all seemed. Some would want Spiderman or Superman as their hero but not me. I had been saved by an intergalactic hunter. That was even better.

A hero. Yes that's how I would remember him. Not as some ruthless slaughterer or murderer, a thought I had now banished from my mind. After all, he had been here on a mission. One that was hard to comprehend for us simple humans. I breathed in deeply, hugging my jacket more tightly, revelling in the little warmth it provided. I knew that I would always remember this day. A day of great loss, of great suffering but also a day of great victory. Because we had won. We had triumphted. Even though I lived.. and he died.. he did so as a true warrior, the way I know he wanted it to be.. Honourable, by figthing the Queen. He died for the team. As I was one of them. "We have won Scar.." I whispered while once more looking up at the sky and for some reason it seemed more beautiful and serene than before. A memorable day indeed.. but more importantly, I would always remember this day.. as the day I met my saviour.. my hero. Life would never be the same.

And now.. Now it was time to go home.

A/N: I know it's not much, but it was very late when I got this idea and I just couldn't leave it alone. So I wrote this little piece of fanfic. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, if only a little bit :) R&R.
