Third Person POV

Eros lay flat on the ground, his breathing was shallow and he was loosing blood by the second. Zues lay flat beside in his own pool of blood with a bullet hole going through his head, his eyes were wide and dead as they stared at him but Eros did not want a dead betraying Zues be his last image before his demise took over so he turned to her.

Romana, the girl he had fallen in love with without even knowing it. She sat trembling in the chair Zues had tied her to as frantic tears streamed down her face, the possibility of loosing Eros this time for good was too painful to bare, not when she just confessed to him.

Despite her ragged state she was still beautiful to him, all the memories they had together came flooding back to Eros, everything they went through both good and bad was like a bliss to him as his death neared. It warmed his heart, she was the only one that made him feel, wether it was sadness or anger, aggravation or admiration, he had felt.

The only regret he had now was not telling her he loved her sooner.

Dextrose came rushing in, he stared with widened eyes at the sight of both bodies on the floor, one was his close friend even if they never admitted it to each other and the other was of the man who's life he'd just taken, he gulped and bit back tears, wanting to rush over but he knew he'd have to take care of Romana, Eros would have wanted him to, so it's her he ran to.

He cut her down and took the gag out of her mouth just in time for her to bolt off the chair and rush to Eros's side, she flipped his heavy body over and screamed when she saw the extent of his wounds.

Blood blood blood

Blood all over and no breathing, why now? Why her?

"NO!!!!" Her wails we're too overwhelming for dextrose and soon he had tears of his own falling down the sides of his face.

"Wake up!!"

"Don't leave me!" That's all that could be heard through the vast emptiness of the barn until distant sirens took its place.

Dextrose had contacted the police on his run over to the barn, so now they were here. Paramedics and all, they all rushed in and everything became a haze for both Romana and dextrose after that, everything moved in slow motion and nothing felt real in the moment.

Romana saw the mouths of people moving but nothing came out, she was on the brink of unconsciousness herself from both exhaustion and concussions. The paramedic gave up on the screaming and just ordered for her to be lifted, the only thing she had her eyes on was Eros as they took him away. His body flailed lifelessly on the stretcher, we're they even going to save him, or even try.

Was he truly dead because life decided to play a uno reverse card or was there hope because that's the only thing we could hang on to.

Death was inevitable and we've always been selfish to think we could stop it but even if you live everyday knowing that a tomorrow is not promised your still not prepared for when it comes.
