How I Survived

Part 16

It's been 4 hours and we've found nothing.

We went back to the spot Elijah was attacked at and found nothing. No cameras, no evidence left behind.

Whoever was behind this thought this through. I wasn't sure if it was Elijah's enemies who attacked him or the same person whos after me, hurting him as a warning.

Walking back into the hospital i realised they moved him into a huge room, he'd obviously gotten acquainted with my family since they were sat around him, talking.

"I was wondering when you two would come say goodbye" he croaked out weakly, my heart shattering at his words.

"And before you ask they only told me to send a message to you" he paused coughing as Alek rubbed his back, seph grabbing his hand "soon"

They fucking poisoned him to get to me.

"Don't make that face, its not ur fault, i promise I don't blame you, come over here the both of you" he spoke a few last words to Amren before he spoke out to me

"She would be so so proud of you right now" he muttered as one of his hands clutched his stomach in pain

Tears collected in my eyes "does this make me the main character, you know dying dramatically" he spoke as blood dribbled down the corner of his lips, out his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry i cant save you"

He clutched my hand bringing me close, holding the side of my face with his shaking hands "you already have, you saved me and Lily all those years ago, you saved me from suffering death the same way as Lily did, forgive yourself Phoenix i love you so so so much and this worlds holding great things for you okay" he shoved a small object into my hands taking his last breaths.

He spluttered as more blood ran out his mouth, the heart machine sound increasing "you better fucking win this war like the bitch you are or i swear to god my ghost is haunting your ass"

he started to seize, the heart-rate monitor going off the rails as his lips twitched upwards one last time.

"No, no, no, no no" it was never supposed to be like this, the cries of pain from my team members did nothing to soothe the internal brokenness i was experiencing inside.

I wasn't experiencing the loss of a friend.

This was the loss of a brother and I'll be dammed if i let whoever's responsible for this walk freely anymore.

I was going to get revenge. I was going to bring people to there fucking knees, make them kiss my feet in forgiveness to mercilessly take there lives. No one was going to go unaccountable.

I had 2 deaths to avenge and now that I'm fuelled and ready to go; nothing can stop me.
