We were running. We knew that death was near us. Still, we were running. The pain creeping through my chest. The forest was very dense. I could hear his footsteps. Coming near us. Chris held my hand. We hid behind a huge rock.
"We won't make it, Chris " I cried.
"Hey Mia .." he stopped and gasped for air. He cried in pain. His wings were torn.
"Don't cry. It's our .. fate. Arghh it hurts " he cried.
I saw blood coming out of my chest.
"Oh, Mia. I can't see you in pain " he said.
"Nor can I " I laid down on the grass and closed my eyes.
"Is he still following us ?" I asked. My voice cracking.
"No, I guess. " He said looking around.
Chris sat leaning on the rock, holding my hand.
"I am sorry love ." He said as a tear rolled down his cheek. He wiped it too fast, trying to hide it from me.
"Don't blame yourself, Chris. It's not your fault. " I said.
"Do you still think vampires are better than fallen angels ?" He said, smiling. His smile immediately turned into a cry.
I smiled back and replied "yes". I paused, feeling the pain jolting.
"But not better than my Chris " I continued.
"Stop flirting, we are dying dummy," he said and laughed which was continued with a sigh.
I never believed in angels Until I met one myself, Chris. My life was always messy, but it became epic when I met, the love of my life.
"You remember our song ?" Chris asked.
I nodded. He started humming.
I started singing the last line, our line.
"But I have walked alone with the stars in the moonlit night"
"I have walked alone, no one by my side" he sang .
I joined him and together for the final time we sang "Now I walk with you, with my head held high "
We continued with the last line as Chris laid down on the wet grass "In the darkest sky, I feel so alive ".
We held our hands and smiled. For the last time our gaze met and a tear rolled down my cheek as I closed my eye, and waited patiently for death to reach me.
