Painful Love

Peace

As it is any other day, the clouds forming, wind gustling and the sounds of wind chimes filled the air. It felt as though the world had just came to a stop, everything was at peace it felt like everything was finally over

...unlike that day years ago....

Flames had engulfed building after building and screams of terror had filled the air, my people begging for help, wild animals running away to avoid being burned terror and fear rushing though the air.
At the start I had been getting food from the market for my picnic with friends...
At the end my whole kingdom was being burned down...

The man who started this.

He was tall and thin.
A hooded cloak had shielded him.
Skin was as pale as a white cloud
And eyes were red as the blood running from the cut on my arm and cheek.

He came from the night not a soul had seen him...but I did...for a split second I saw the man who had killed everyone...everyone but me....

We locked eyes and I could see the fear and anger that dwelled inside him, the loneliness that had filled him with existential rage.

He ran towards me with speed that could not be matched even by the fastest horse. Pinning me to the ground.

His thin but strong hand held down my neck, his lean body put weight on mine so I couldn't move.

I did not fear this man.

How could I?

He was the man I loved

My Marshall Lee the vampire King.

He was panting hard each breath taken was getting heavier and what seemed like was painful to him.

As he pinned my body I grunted in pain.

He loomed over me with an animalistic gaze as a predator does to its pray.

He started yelling.
"ITS YOUR FAULT"
Repeatedly over and over again getting increasingly louder.

He stopped.

I grinded my jaw as tears started flowing...

The only words I could even fathom to mutter to him.

"I know"
