The lost mafia princess

Chapter 41

ALINA'S POV

I'm tired.

You know that deep feeling in your bones, tired? The type of feeling where you don't even have the energy to move a muscle?

That's how I'm currently feeling. I've been feeling like this for a while, but I can't seem to get rid of the feeling.

It feels like a heavy blanket over my whole body which I'm too weak to remove.

Don't get me wrong it's not all bad.

This time of relaxation has allowed me to remember in detail all of my good memories that have happened over the last couple of months with my family.

I've enjoyed myself so much.

This is what life is meant for.

When surrounded by the right people, you want to live forever. Thats what makes life so magical.

My family has made everything seem so magical even the bad parts.

You can't relive your life, so being able to live it to the best of your ability is the only thing you can do.

I'm glad I got to do that, even if it was for a short amount of time. I can't wait to go back and make more memories.

As I remember the first time I truly laughed, thanks to my family, I remember the feeling of not being able to breathe.

I couldn't catch my breath because the smile on my face was so big, and my lungs were fighting for air as I continued laughing

I'm feeling that feeling again, but I'm not laughing.

I can feel the muscles in my lungs stop contracting as they grow tired from working.

My eyes feel heavy as my lungs try and work overtime.

I reassure them that this is relaxation time. There's no need to work anymore. I'm ok without them, replaying my favourite memories of being surrounded by my family as I try and recover from this terrible tiredness.

I think closing my eyes fully and trying to go to sleep will be best.

I'll have a lot more energy when I awake if I go to sleep now

I do love my sleep, and this is starting to feel like the best sleep I've ever had

It feels so comfortable, as the pain that has been racking my body starts to fade away.

This is the best pain reliever I've had!

My favourite memories of me and my family stay with me as the pain fades away.

SALVATORE'S POV

"Alina"

"Did you really have to leave us?"

I painfully look towards the ground in the back garden to her grave.

The one that was always left empty, now filled with her cold, lifeless body.

Looking at it makes me feel even worse than when it was empty.

There was a possibility of her being alive when the grave was empty and we fed on that as if it was what kept us alive.

Now all that's left is memories and lost time.

It seems the universe allowed a taste of what our perfect life could be like, and took it away as easily as taking candy from a baby.
