My whole body was in pain.. I'm sure this is the end. Only if I could see him before.. They were standing around me ,I could only see their feet now. They were taunting me, laughing at my plight.
Perhaps I would never see him again. Another tear went down my cheek
I heard him, or am I imagining?
"Move away you bastards"
No it's him. I tried to wipe my tears but my hands were tied.
He crouched down near me and stared, unable to process what he saw. Then he drew his sword and snarled at the spectators
"Back you scum, what do you think are you watching ! "
He cut off the ropes that restrained me and pulled me close to him with an arm while he threatened the crowd.
"Who did this? Who dared to touch him? Who.. "
I touched his cheek.
"It's fine dearest, everything is fine. You are fine. "
"No I'm not, how can I be ..How could you let this happen to you? You are so strong, why did you let.. How would I ever live without you.. "
I placed a finger on his lips, shushing him. He can't blame himself. I let it happen. Yes.
"You are so selfish even now, only thinking of yourself.. "
"Yes, I am. So please don't go. Please don't leave me alone. I beg you "
Tears dripped down his face, on to mine. I wanted to tell him that "It's not that I want to leave him alone,but I know he is scared of deadth and I couldn't just give him up to his worst fears like that can, I? " But some words are better left unsaid.
"Please, please please don't. I will do whatever you want, I will buy you your favorite sweets, I would never steal your clothes, I would never disobey you, I will do everything the way you want. Please stay. "
Never steal my clothes... that brought a smile to my face even in the pain. Even now he's wearing my shirt. Back then he said he would always take my clothes..
"I can't, love. I'm sorry but I can't stay. You can have all of my shirts, now. "
"Please, please don't. I would never forgive you if you leave me. "
I took one of his hands in mine. My poor boy. Who would be there for him, if not me... He have to be strong.
"I know you don't really mean that. But I mean it when I say I would never forgive you if you stop caring about yourself, understand? Now let me go. I have lived long enough. "
"No no no no no no no .I can't... "
He buried his face in my shirt and cried, my blood and his tears turned into one. I stroked his hair. I could feel my life draining.
I hummed the song he always liked
Shadows on the face of moon,
And the faces in the shadows
Love born from war ,and war waged for love
Flowers blooming from the dead
and the flowers on our bed
Come forward brave warriors
Come fight for your love.
Run, the love of my life
Run, and save our love
Leaves may fall and flowers wither
But our love is forever no matter whether
we stay alive or not
my heart will stay with yours...
I felt myself going before I could finish ...oh why is fate so cruel... My hand slipped from his.
