***Damien's POV***
I couldn't fight the pain any longer. I remember loosing all the strength in my legs. The burning sensation slowed. The pain became numb before it stopped all together. I could no longer hear her words. Her soft soothing tones were now muffled like being under water. I couldn't feel her touch as my head clouded with a black blanket over my eyes.
Was this death? Or a new beginning? I just know if this is how I go. At least I'll be in her arms. Knowing I did all I could.
She fought me every step of the way. I knew she kept things from me, but I understood it. She has been on this earth longer than me. Deep down I think she wanted to tell me, but was afraid. Even if she didn't want to admit it.
Her voice was no longer muffled.
Silence.
Cold. Ice flooded my body. So death? It didn't work. At least we tried.
This was it.
Through all the pain. The chaos that has followed us from the beginning. I would have still followed her out of the book shop, chased her to that bar. There was no doubt.
William.
He wouldn't understand. He's going to think I'm dead. We've lost so much family. This will crush him. Maybe Victoria would keep visiting. William spoke of Victoria before I even knew who she was. I thought she was just a regular customer who liked to read. But grandpa talked about her nonstop. Made her sound like some meek little book worm, she was far from meek.
She was the exact opposite. She was fierce, confident, stubborn and secretive. Protective and opinionated. But perfect. Seeing her for the first time was like coming up for air. And the thought of never seeing those wide expressive blue eyes, hearing that angelic while strong voice like music to my ears. The chocolate brown waves that haloed around her soft features while she slept.
She will be the last thing I think of as I welcomed the cold, consuming ice that filled my head.
Victoria, we tried.
Don't blame yourself.
I'd do it all again just to see your face one more time.
Victoria.
Victor-
