Diversity

CHAPTER-22 (The End)

The ravenette's father pointed the gun toward the blonde in an attempt to kill her.

He was pretty sure that his son liked his girlfriend alot, so how about making him suffer by killing his love of the life?

He pulled the trigger and the bullet escaped the gun at full speed.

Blood poured out like a river tainting the dull gray ground into a hue of red.

"Lucas..."
A trembling voice came out of the blonde as she fell on her knees with the ravennete laying on the ground while blood was everywhere...

The gun in her hand fell making a thud sound as her trembling hands went up to touch the ravennete's cold face.

"Lucas....!"
She spoke to the lying man just to earn a groan of pain as he held his chest where the bullet hit.

"Wake up... please for me..."
Tears flowed down as she took the head of the fallen body on her lap.

"Don't die on me..."

"You know... don't joke like that.."

"Don't be so cruel..."

She smiled hoping for it to just be a prank which the ravennete used to do before with her...

"Sia..."
He let out a weak mumble as slowly his eyes were closing.
Lucas felt that his time was near, he cupped the blonde's cheek which was wet with tears spilling out.

"Please!"
"Don't close your eyes"
She screamed wanting him to open his eyes and hug her tightly.

"Don't cry..."
"I...Love...You..."
He smiled, the smile the blonde loved alot. Though the blonde wasn't able to smile back this time, his smile hid the pain that he was feeling.

"I love you too!"

"I won't cry either! But please don't leave me!"

She cried holding his hand that cupped her cheek.

The warmth that those hands once held was now leaving slowly as only cold will be left later for the blonde.

"I won't leave you...I would always be with you..."
He spoke as small tear drops started falling from his eyes too.

Athanasia wasn't able to utter a word, she kept crying and sobbing as the ravennete smiled.

"Don't...cry..."
"Please smile...for me..."
He let out the words with much difficulty, but he wished to see her smile in his last moments.

"Smile...how could I!? You're leaving! When you weren't supposed too..."
She shouted still sobbing. But internally knew that it was the last, the last time they would see each other smile.

"Please...I beg you..."
"I was going to die...either way...my heart was weak"
He muttered weakly.

"No! You weren't supposed to die now! I...wished to spend the time you had alongside you...Not like this...You weren't supposed to die like this!"

The blonde wished that all of it was just a dream, a dream which would end and she will wake in the arms of the ravennete again.

But is it?

No. It isn't.

So she smiled, the heart of the ravennete fluttered one last time seeing the smile that he had always loved to watch.

And slowly his eyes lost their shine and closed as his body turned cold.

The smile faded from the blonde's lips, she lowered her head to the ravennete's chest and sobbed loudly.
