Even After Death

Until Death

"My love, do you remember our spot where we go stargazing? Please get dressed and meet me there. I will be waiting. I love you ~Alastor" My heart did flips. 'What is he planning?' I thought to myself. I quickly ran upstairs and put on one of my best winter dresses and drove our other car down to the spot he was talking about. We accidentally found this spot while hunting, we were burying someone and I started walking around in the woods and found this one little spot where you can clearly see the sky. It was meant for stargazing. So we made it one of our spots. After burying our kill we go there and watch the stars.

I pull up to the entrance of the trail with the note in my hand and follow it until I turn by a big tree into the thick woods. I keep walking, keep thinking about what he is planning. My heart is pounding in my ears. I keep waking up getting really close to our burying spot and then I see it.

My heart drops to my stomach and I start yelling his name. "ALASTOR!" I run up to him laying on the ground not responding to my call. "Alastor, what's wrong are you-" I see blood on his head and I start to panic. "No, no, no, no..." I swipe my hand against his forehead moving his hair and I see the wound. A gunshot to his head. My cries start bubbling in my throat and my tears start flowing out. I quickly scoop up his upper body cradling his lifeless body. "Alastor. ALASTOR! Please wake up. Ple- please tell me this is just a dream." The bubble in my throat rips through letting out a heartbroken scream leaving my throat raw. I bring his body closer to mine, rocking him back and forth, mumbling to myself saying that this had to be a dream. I squeeze his body closer to me and I feel something in his inner pocket. I slowly pry him off of me and carefully lay him back down on the cold ground and peel his coat back to have access to his pocket. I reach in and pull out a small black box. "No. Alastor, you didn't..." I said while slowly opening the box revealing a ring. He was gonna propose, he was gonna propose to me. My tears flowed more out of my eyes and I laid my head on top of his chest. "Yes, I would of said yes, my love." I lean back up and I see the shovel next to him. I put the box back into his pocket and I quickly grabbed the shovel and started to run as fast as I can from him to hide it. After a few yards I threw the shovel deep into the throne bush to where they can't find it. I walked back to his body and looked around the scene, the body he hunted was buried already. I kneeled back down next to his body and I placed my hand on his cold cheek, starting crying again. "I will see you dear. Please do not forget about me. I love you and I will see you soon." I said while crying and placing my final kiss on his forehead.

I start running out of the woods crying, looking around and seeing cops cars across the street. I run up to them crying trying to tell them what is happening. "Please help me! My boyfriend is in the woods and I think he's- he's." I can't say it and I start crying harder. "Ma'am, please calm down and tell us what's going on?" "Just follow me!" I shouted and started running back into the woods with them following behind. I took the same path until I saw his body again, I fell on my knees seeing him laying there, knowing that I have to leave him. The one cop quickly blocks my view of his body and I'm not ready to leave him. I quickly get up and try to fight my way to go back to his body. "I can't leave him like this." I shouted. The one holding me back shouts back "Ma'am please. I understand you are upset but you have to calm down, please corporate and follow me back to the entrance." I still fought back but he was able to drag me away from him, from my love.

"Now I have to ask you a couple of questions. Do you know why he wanted to meet you in the woods?" I look up at him, remembering that I still have his note, pulling it out of my small purse and handing it to him. "He said that he wanted me to meet him there. Though I do not know what for." He handed me the note back. "How long have you known him?" I look back down to the ground. "I've known him for years." "How many years?" "I was 18 when we met, and we started to date when we were 21. So about 10 years now." "Do you know if he was home last night?" I shook my head. "No, I could tell that something was up because he would keep his distance from me. He told me that he would be home late at night because he wanted to go on a walk. I unfortunately fell asleep while waiting for him and woke up to that note." I finished my sentence and the other cop came out of the woods with the box in his hand.
