"We meet again..." the figure reached to take his hood off. "Nora." Oliver smiles. Nora stared at him. Oliver was Sophia's personal royal guard.. he arrested Nora when Sophia died... why is he doing this..? "Why are you doing this..?" Nora asked, her voice breaking. "Nora, oh sweet, sweet Nora." Oliver smiled. "Do you know, what it's like to have your heart ripped apart.? To have your heart be crushed over and over again?! Huh?! Do you?!" Oliver yelled, Nora stepped back and flinched. "You killed Sophia.. my precious.. lovely Sophia." Oliver looked down for a moment. "She tried to poison me.. please I didn't do anything wrong!" Nora had tears in her eyes. "Of course she tried to poison you! You were always in her way!! You were always in her way just like Akira was in my way.. you took Sophia from me.. so now, I'm gonna take you from Akira." Oliver smiled.

"Nora?! Nora!" Akira shouted running outside of his castle. "Shit." Akira mumbled, "Travis stay here!" Akira ran off to find Nora.

"Please.. please don't do this Oliver.. please.." Nora begged. She didn't wanna die.. not like this.. not now.. "I know you loved Sophia.. but she loved someone else and now she's dead." Nora said. "You're wrong! Sophia did love me! She was just confused.. Akira was brainwashing her.." Oliver snapped back. "Oliver please.. put the gun down. "Nora begged for her life at this point. "I think you talked too much.." Oliver clicked the gun and placed his finger onto the trigger. Akira ran down the alleyway and pushed Nora out of the way and got in front of her. "STOP!" Akira yelled. "Put the gun down now!" Akira growled lowly. He had black demon like horns sticking out of his hair and black claws that seemed to have swallowed his hands whole. "Or I'll kill you." Akira snarled. "Oh look, here to save your stupid poet huh?" Oliver laughed. "Fuck you." Oliver pulled the trigger." "Don't!" Nora shouted, the bullet went into Akira arm. He groaned loudly and landed on one of his knees. The claws disappeared and his horns grew smaller. He was stunned by the gunshot. Oliver clicked the gun again to finish him off, Nora's feet moved on their own. She walked in front of Akira. "NO-" Akira shouted. Boom.

"Dad, I don't wanna fish anymore! The fish keep running away!" A little girl huffed. The dad chuckled. "Alright baby, alright." The dad smiled. He started to pull the boat into the dock. "Dad, can we stop at the bakery and get chocolate pastries?" The little girl smiled. "Of course, but right now I need you to wake up." The dad smiled. The little girl looked confused. "Wake up Nora!" The dad shouted.

"NO!" Akira shouted, Nora gasped. She looked down slowly and placed her hand onto her stomach. She looked at her hand and saw the blood.. blood soaking her dress. She had tears in her eyes. "A..kir...a-" she was light headed. She fell onto the ground. Her eyes barely staying open. "NORA!" Akira screamed. Akira stood up and punched Oliver to the ground, he took the gun and shot Oliver in the chest. Akira then dropped the gun and ran to Nora's side. "Nora! Nora? Can you hear me? Nora!" Akira said panicked. Tears forming in his eyes. "Nora wake up! Please Nora!" Akira said, tears falling down his face. "HELP! SOMEONE HELP!" Akira screamed for help, Travis came running down the alleyway. He looked down and saw Nora's body. Blood soaking Akira's shirt. Her blood all over his hands. "Nora please.." He grabbed her body and rocked her back and forth. Tears streaming down his face. "Come on! We gotta get her to the hospital!" Travis said in a rush. Akira picked her up bridal style and ran with her to the hospital.

At the hospital, Akira ran inside with Nora in his arms barely conscious. All the nurses looked shocked. "Please! Please help her!" Akira begged. "Right this way!" One of the nurses led Akira into the operating room. "Okay place her down here, I'll go get the doctor." The nurse rushed out of the room to get the doctor. Akira tried placing his hands over the wound to keep it from bleeding. But more blood soaked his hands.. "You're gonna be okay.. you're gonna be okay Nora." Akira said softly, his voice breaking each time he spoke.. Nora was barely conscious. The doctor rushed inside and looked at Nora as she bled. "Your majesty, please step out of the room." The doctor moved Akira's hands off of Nora's gunshot wound. "Please help her.." Akira said while backing up. "I'll do everything I can." The doctor said. Akira left the operating room, he walked into the waiting room and paced back and forth. "She's gonna be okay. She's tough." Travis says softly. Akira continued to pace back and forth, tears streaming down his face. "Akira, she's gonna be okay." Travis places a hand onto Akira's shoulder making him stop pacing, he had tears streaming down his face and looked like a mess. Travis felt horrible. Travis pulls Akira into a hug which made Akira cry even more. "Please be okay Nora.." Travis thought to himself.

After what felt like hours had passed, the doctor walks out of the room. Akira jumps up from the seat he was sitting in and looks at the doctor with worry. The doctor sighs. "She's.. alive. She lost some blood and we barely got her stable. But she's alive and breathing on her own." The doctor smiles. Akira let out a breath of relief. "Can I see her?" Akira asked softly, "Of course you can." The doctor smiles and walks away. Akira smiles and walks into a hospital room that Nora was in. He walked in and saw Nora asleep on the hospital bed. She was wearing hospital clothes now. Akira smiled. "I'm so sorry Nora.." Akira said softly. "I'm so so sorry.." Akira had tears in his eyes but he forced himself not to cry. Akira walked up to Nora and placed his hand onto her cheek. "I thought I lost you.." Akira mumbled. "I wish I had-" Akira looked away, but then he heard one of the doctor monitors beeping loudly. He looked back at Nora and saw blood starting to soak her hospital clothes.. "No.." Akira muttered. A nurse rushed in and pushed Akira out of the way, Akira had tears in his eyes. "No.." Akira mumbled. "Shit, her stitches came loose. I NEED A DOCTOR!" The nurse yells. "Your majesty, you need to leave." The nurse turns around. Akira didn't moved or say anything. He stared at Nora. "You need to leave now!" The nurse shoves Akira out of the room. Akira was frozen. After a moment of standing there and started to walk away. "Akira? Akira! What happened?" Travis asked but Akira walked past him and didn't say a word.

Leo walked into the building and Akira pushed past him. Leo rushed into the waiting room. "I heard what happened, is she okay?! Is she dead?" Leo asked Travis. "She's alive, I think." Travis mumbled. "You think?!" Leo shouted. "God Nora.." Leo mumbled and looked away. Travis looked at Leo. "I'm sorry about yesterday." Travis said softly. "Oh you mean when you ditched me?" Leo snapped. "You think I ditched you?" Travis said, starting to get angry. "I waited for two hours and you didn't come back." Leo snarled. "I was trying to save Nora's life! And you think I fucking ditched you?" Travis responded with anger in his voice. "What else was I supposed to think? You just got up and left!" Leo shouted. "I was saving a life!" Travis shouted back, getting into Leo's face. "You have no right to think that I ditched you when I'm the one who asked you to go on that picnic." Travis snarled. "No! You have no fucking right to ask me out and make it seem like you're in love with me!" Leo snapped back. "I fucking love you Travis!" Leo said. "Well I don't!" Travis yelled, which made Leo's face drop. "Excuse me..?" Leo mumbled. "I don't love you Leo, I never will." Travis said softly. "You don't love me?" Leo said. "No I don't. You're just some stupid village boy." Travis snarled. Leo had tears welling in his eyes. "Whatever." Leo stormed off. He went into the hospital's bathroom and sat down on the floor. He pressed his knees to his chest and started to sob. Travis sat down in the chair and tried to stop himself from crying but failed.

"Nurse grab that!" The doctor yelled. "Come on! Don't die on us!" The doctor was trying to get Nora stable again.

Nora jolted awake in a white room. She looked around and nobody was there. Nothing was there. She stood up slowly. "Hello?" Nora called out. "Hey baby.." a voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw her dad. Tears started to fall down her face. "Dad!" Nora ran and hugged her dad tightly. "Woah there princess." Her dad chuckled. "Dad I missed you so much.." Nora smiled. "Why didn't you come home..? To me and mom?" Nora asked. "What do you mean? I was always there." Her dad smiled. "No, you left. You left and never came back." Nora looked down. "Sweetie, I was always here with you. Just because I was gone, doesn't mean I wasn't here." Her dad smiled. "Why didn't you come back up from the water?" Nora asked, tears streaming down her pale skin. "I don't know, I wish I did." Her dad frowned and looked away. "Dad I'm scared." Nora looked down. "Why are you scared babygirl?" Her dad looked back at her. "What if... I.. don't.. come home..?" Nora looked up at her dad. Tears streaming from her sky blue eyes. "Oh baby..." her dad ran his fingers through her blonde hair. "You will go home. But right now, you have to think of him." Her dad grabbed her shoulders. "Him..?" She said confused. "Think of Akira.. think of your love for him.." her dad smiled. "But I don't love him..?" Nora mumbled. "In your heart you do.. now think of him.. and you will go home." Her dad smiled. "Dad I don't.." Nora looked away. "Dad?" She looked back and her dad was gone.. Nora broke down in tears and fell to her knees. "I'm sorry.." Nora mumbled. "I'm so sorry Akira.." Nora cried. "I'm...so..." Nora felt lightheaded. "I.. lo-" she fell backwards and her head hit the floor.

Nora jolted awake into reality gasping for air.
