I CAN'T MOVE. I can't breathe. Tallulah is dead. Her heart has stopped beating. I'm just staring at her, at her beautiful and peaceful face. She's gone. And it's because of me. "Jasper..." Alice's voice falls on deaf ears. I don't answer. I don't tear my eyes away from my lover. "Jasper.. she's not dead." Alice's words don't bring me comfort.
"She's asleep. Her gift has shut down her body to protect her. I've seen it. She will wake up." I'm holding my mate's small hand, gently. Her body is cold. "When?" My voice is as cold as ice, I'm frozen. "In ten years." My eyes lower down and I take in a breath. "What have I done?" My voice is barely a whisper and I continue to hold my love's cold hand.
"Jasper, we have to go." I shake my head. "I won't leave her." I say to Alice, continuing to look at my mate. "We have too. I've seen what will happen if you don't." Alice is panicked. But I keep shaking my head. "I don't care. I love her Alice. I'm not leaving her." Crimson magic slowly twists its way over Tallulah's limbs, burning my skin, making me drop her hand.
"See! We have to go." What was that? Something about her gift doesn't want me to stay here. There's a burning feeling in my mind, it's trying to rip me away from her. It's dragging me out. "Will she be safe here?" I question, still beside Tallulah, despite not touching her.
"Safer than with us here." I nod and push myself up. All I've ever wanted was for her to be safe, and if leaving will do that, then I'll leave. But I won't disappear without letting her know. Numbly, I get her a bouquet of red flowers. I've written a note, an apology, a goodbye.
I can't bear to read it. But I've placed it beside her, and gently make her holds the flowers with her pale hands. It just looks like she's sleeping. She's so incredibly beautiful. I won't ever forget her, and I will be here the moment Alice has a vision of her waking up.
My chest is burning and aching and I lean down to press a gently kiss on her forehead. "I love you, Tallulah. I always will." I slowly move away from her small frame on my bed. Leaving her side, every step I take feels like a dagger through my heart, a painful reminder of the choice I'm making.
The room grows colder as I move farther away from Tallulah, her presence lingering like a haunting melody. I can't bear to look back, knowing that to do so would shatter the resolve I've mustered. The weight of my decision presses down on me, a heavy burden that threatens to crush my spirit.
As I close the door behind me, the finality of the act settles in, a silent farewell to the life we once shared. The night air is thick with sorrow, the stars above offering no solace to my aching soul. In the darkness, I carry the memory of her warmth, her laughter, her love, knowing that it's a memory I'll hold onto forever, even as I walk a path now devoid of her light.
I follow behind Alice and Victor, completely numb and hollow, with no care to where we are going. I don't move for three months.
