"COME ON! WE CAN'T BEAT HIM IF WE DON'T WORK TOGETHER!" A woman yelled while grabbing my hand. The sound echoed throughout the damp and dark lair. "One, two THREE!" I shouted. On three I was thrown, clutching my sword I drove the blade into the black shadowy creature, killing it. But before it truly died, it stabbed it's claws cleanly through my chest.

I was dropped and my vision started to blur. I hear a thud next to me. "No- NO NO NO! STAY WITH ME PLEASE!" The woman from before cried. I reached out to her. " Heh-" I coughed. "Guess this is the end of the road, 'ey partner." Blood leaked from my lips. "No..Please- stay with me." She croaked. "I..love you. I was waiting to say it for a long time but it seems my luck has ended here and now." I tried to chuckle, but ending up coughing.

"I love you too." She grabbed me and hugged me lightly. "Please don't go..Please." she looked me in the eyes, tearing up. I lifted my hand to her face and weakly wiped her tears away. "Stay a good person for me, okay?" My vision blurred even more, and my hand fell to my side. My body numbed and the last thing I could hear was her cries.
