1- Time Runs Out Fast

Her hands were covered red. The sticky liquid stained her skin. Tears ran down her face. She screamed for him to come back to her but his lifeless body didn't move. He laid in a pool of strawberry sauce. A silver blade stuck out of his stomach. He had been murdered. The young female leant over her now deceased lover, more acidic tears rolled down her cheeks. She gently pressed her lips against his forehead. She pulled away and whispered "I love you" silver droplets hit the floor. She pulled the blade out of her lovers abdomen causing more crimson liquid to flow from the gash. She turned the knife to herself. "Wait for me" she said softly. She pressed the point against her stomach and applied pressure. The sharp blade ripped through her skin like butter. Red liquid gushed from the wound. She fell on top of her lover's corpse. She smiled as death took her into its embrace. She would see him again, they could be together. That's what she thought.

Her eyes shot open. Her breathing ragged. Her surroundings were as white a winter night. Her head pounded. Her stomach throbbed. She looked down at her stomach to see her wound had completely healed leaving a small red slight. A voice echoed throughout the white room. "Such a stupid human" The voice boomed. She was frozen in fear. A cloaked figure appeared before her. It approached her. "Silly girl" It growled. She did not move. Warm tears trickled down her face. "Do you not understand what you have done?" It asked. Its head hung. "You have condemned me, my love" It voice broke. She gasped. "No" She whispered. Tears now gushing down her face. It raised its hand and pulled down its hood. He, her lover stood in front of her unharmed. "I saved you" He said pulling her into his arms. He kissed her forehead. "Now wake up" he whispered. 

"NO!" she screamed. She was alive. He had saved her. They loved one another yet their time was cut short.
