Author's note : This is the translation of my French story entittled Echec. I don't trust my English so, if you see some mistakes, don't hesitate to tell me what are they and I'll correct them as soon as I can. And a big thank to my English teacher who corrected it. I hope you'll enjoy the story. Don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it and if you don't understand (because I know it quite confused) and I'll try to explain you.
I dedicate it to Sparkles666, who is the person who gave me the idea to translate it.

As usual, he was alone, calm and silent. Although his heart had never stopped crying out his distress since we had announced her death, his appearance seemed serene.
She never had meant much to him. After all, she was only a teammate, someone vaguely familiar in the desert of his soul, but nothing more. She was just someone who should not disturb him during his fights, and that he occasionally had to protect.
Besides being a teammate, he was a friend, someone dear to her, someone she wanted to - or rather, that she had to - protect. He had become one of the reasons why she fought. She loved him.
Their lives went on like this, their feelings building a new relationship every day God made.
Yet, an "accident" disturbed the course of things. She lost her life because of that ; he was there to see it, powerless.
Protecting her. This is what he should have done.
Saving him. This is what she did.

" You're really a spoilt girl, you know ?
- I know. Sorry.
- ...
- ...
- Go.
- ...
- They're waiting for you.
- I'll...I'll wait for you.
- I know.
- I love you.
- I know.
- You'll take care of the others, okay ?
- Don't worry. Go. "
