I tried to roll him over and laid him on the ground. I examined his body as he mumbled something. "Oh my God. Oh my God. Don't worry, it's going to be alright."

"Back." He said breathless.

"W-What?" I said shaking.

"My back, baby girl."

I turned him around and there was a red stain on his left side. I gasped and quickly tried to put pressure on the wound. Cam let out a moan in pain and winced.

"I'm so sorry. I need to stop the bleeding." The blood kept pouring out and it wouldn't stop. "You're going to heal, right? Demons heal fast." I said. "Why aren't you healing?"

"Take out the knife." He whispered.

"What knife? There's no knife, Cam." I said confused. What was he talking about?

"There's a knife on my back. Look carefully."

"Why can't I see it!? Why can't I see the knife!?" I started to despair and panic. Cam was talking a knife I couldn't see. It was an imaginary knife! What the hell!?

"Raiza, listen to me." He traced my hand with his fingers. "Take a deep breath and calm down."

"How can I calm down when you're-"

"Just do it, beautiful." He said in a sweet calm tone. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "You need to see with your soul, not with your eyes." I frowned when I heard his word. What the hell was he saying? "You won't be able to see the knife until you manage to detach yourself from everything around you."

Ok, ok, do what Cam's telling you. Forget about what's surrounding you.

God, I just want to save him. Please don't let him die. Cam doesn't deserve to die. I would give my life for my loved ones without thinking it twice.

I felt something so I slowly opened my eyes. I noticed something turning visible on his left side. IT WAS THE KNIFE!

"I SEE IT!" I said more excited than I should be considering the situation we were in.

"Good, good. Now take it out, slowly." He instructed me. I slowly took the sharp weapon and once it was out I put pressure on the wound. "Well done, Rai."

"Please don't die, Cam." I said as the tears starting coming out.

He held my hand tightly and smiled at me.

"RAIZA!" Suddenly I heard Harry calling out my name. "RAIZA!"

"Harry!" I screamed. "Harry, please hurry!"

Within seconds he accompanied by Niall and Rue got where we were. "What the-"

"Please save him. Do something please." I cried. "Don't let Cam die."

Harry quickly knelt down and examined Cam's body. Rue grabbed me gently and took me away from them. The curly haired demon frowned when he saw the wound. "Why haven't you heal yet? You fucking sucked as a human and so you do as a demon."

"At least I saved Raiza."

"What?" Harry and I said in unison.

"Zayn threw a knife aiming at you." He said, looking at me. "I wasn't going to let him hurt you."

"I'm going to fucking kill that bastard. I'm going to hunt him down and-"

"Harry." Niall said. He looked at the blond haired demon and frowned. "Blood keeps pouring out of his wound. Cam was hurt with a knife."

They looked at each other and their faces turned pale; they looked troubled.

"Guys, w-what's wrong?"

"The only way that a wound doesn't heal is-" My boyfriend said.

"The Knife of The Fall." Niall finished the sentences.

"The what?" I asked.

Cam let out a painful moan and seconds later he started convulsing.

"Cam!" Rue screamed.

"Oh my God, what's happening to him!?" I covered my mouth when a black liquid starting to come out of his mouth and his skin turned paler and purple veins popped out.

"Raiza, you and Rue need to get out of here."

"No, I'm not going to leave!"

Harry turned around abruptly and his eyes were black. "GET OUT!"

Rue took my hand and dragged me out of the park. She made me get into the car that was parked near the entrance.

Something wasn't right. Why did he make us leave? My friend was lying there struggling between life and death and I was locked up inside a car.

"I should be with him." I said as the tears started coming out again.

"Rai." Rue said, holding my hand. "Harry and Niall are the only ones who can do something for Cam. We were only getting in the way."

"But he's our friend."

"I know, I know."

We both looked at each other and not a second went by when we both started crying our hearts out. Rue hugged me tightly as I mumbled things even I couldn't understand. All I wanted now was that Cam got better.

Harry was going to do his best. I knew he was going to try to save him.

Suddenly I felt someone looking at me and a cold shiver ran down my spine. I turned my face and looked through the window.

"Cam." I said not believing what I was seeing. I quickly got out of the car and ran towards him and hugged him as tight as I could.

"I told you I was going to be fine, beautiful." He whispered and then placed a kiss on my check. He smiled at me.

"Raiza." I heard Rue calling me.

"I'll be back. Stay with Rue." I told him as the tears ran down my face.

I ran towards the park looking for Harry. I needed to thank him for having saved Cam. My heart was pounding, full with joy and happiness. Things were starting to get better.

I visualised him and Niall walking in the opposite direction than me. I fastened my pace and called them out.

"You saved him." I whispered as I jumped to his arms. "I knew you would."

Harry hugged me and buried his head in the crook of my neck. "I'm so sorry, angel. We did all that was within our grasp but no one has ever survived to that knife wound."

I broke the hug and looked at him confused. "What are you talking about? I just saw Cam." I laughed.

He frowned but soon his features softened. "He died, Raiza. What you saw was his spirit. He went to say goodbye to you, baby."

"No." That was all I managed to say.

I felt as my whole world had fallen apart and the ground underneath me was breaking. My legs felt weak and if Harry hadn't held me I would've fallen to the ground.

I had lost my best friend.

Cam was gone forever.

...

Has anyone ever approached you thinking you were someone else? I remember this time I was at my Uni's library doing a group project with some classmates and all of sudden I felt someone hugging me and saying something. I turned around and looked at this dude like 'what the fuck are you doing?' and his face turned pale and said sorry like a million times. I started laughing and he told me he had mistaken me for his girlfriend because I had the same hair colour as her and was wearing the same coat colour. Once he left my classmates couldn't stop laughing about the face I had made when he hugged me lol

PS: For the ones who say Raiza is stupid, she's not. She just cares about others more than what she cares about her, it's called being selfless :) And this wasn't intended to be said in a bad way, just wanted to let you guys know!

I love you. x
