"Marie! Wake up! Hurry!" Riku's voice cut through the silence and my dream. I moaned as he picked me up and tried to wake me.
"I don't wanna..." I whispered. Then the smell hit me. Smoke. Something was burning. I opened my eyes and tears filled my eyes as the smoke filled my vision. Everything was dark except for the flickering light benieth the door. I looked up at Riku as he coughed. "What's going on, Riku?" I asked. He looked down at me with tears in his eyes. I couldn't tell if the tears were from the smoke or not.
"I'm going to get you out of here. I promise..." He whispered. He set me down and ripped a piece of blanket from the blanket and put it over my mouth and nose. "Breath through this." He told me. He ripped another piece for himself and walked around the room urgently, mumbling to himself. He was scarring me.
"R-Riku..." I whimpered with tears in my voice. He looked at me and fell to his knees in tears. "Riku!" I stumbled over to him and hugged him. He shook slightly as he cried.
"I-I can't get you out... I'm sorry, Marie..." He cried lightly. Seeing someone you love so much, crying, breaks your heart.
"Riku... I don't care..." I whispered. I looked into his eyes and kissed his cheek. He looked at me with tears running down his cheeks. "I don't care if I die... I'm with the one and only person I love..." I said softly. Rku kissed me softly and the flames burnt through the door.
~Author's Notes~
I'm not sure if I'm going to continue this story or not. So... How do you like this possible ending? I'm sure you're all going to kill me if this is the last of this story and there's no second book. But who knows? Maybe I'll continue. ;)
