Ezria ~ Storms Don't Last Forever

Chapter 15

"Forest fire"

I couldn't realize what he said at first. What, forest fire? It was probably some stupid joke of Mike, although, I was still scared to turn my head around to see it for myself. It was better to live in the hope everhthing was fine, that I would wake up safe in Ezra's arms tomorrow, then to be punched in the face with reality. I pinched myself in my arm, I couldn't believe it. Ezra kept running with me in his arms, the warmth of the big flames tickling in our necks.

"Ezra, what is going on" I said, but he didn't respond. He was too busy running away from this shit, running to a safe place.

"Ezra please, where are mom and dad and Mike?" I begged him. A drip of sweat from his forehead made his way to his chin, and landed on my lip. It tasted like pure fear, the fear from Ezra's eyes.

"They're quicker then we are, they will make it" Ezra said as he kept running. The fire spreaded fast, like really fast.

"Ezra, we're not gonna make it!" I yelled as I saw the yellow flames grew and grew.

"Don't say that. We- we're gonna make it. I know it. We always get out, we always do!" Ezra said, convincing me -and himself- that we would make it.

"Were are we even going? We don't even know where to go!" I yelled

"Aria, stay calm! We're gonna make it okay!"

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I know I deserve a life with you away from this island"

"Ezra.."

"No! I'm only asking you to trust me now!"

"Okay. I trust you" I sobbed as Ezra kept running. It was getting warmer by every second, -no that's not because of Ezra- and the flames were getting higher and higher, bigger and bigger.

"Ezra" I calmly said

"What is it Ar?" He yelled, as he kept running away from the big, terrifying flames

"Leave me here"

"What?! Never!"

"Please Ezra! We're not gonna make it like this! My leg hurts like a bitch an the flames are quicker then we are!"

"Aria, are you asking me to leave you behind so you can die?"

"Maybe I'll survive"

"Aria! I'm not gonna leave you behind!I'm not gonna do that!"

"Please Ezra! Just save yourself! Save your life!" I cried out.

"Don't you see Aria! Like I said before, you are my life!"

"Ezra, this is not the time to be a superhero! Please just safe your damn life! I'm not gonna let you die for someone you know for a few weeks!"

"Aria, I can't live without you, if you die, I'm going with you" Ezra said and then kissed me on my head.

"I love you"

"I will never stop loving you"

"And now run like you never did before, if you want to be a superhero so badly, you better be a good one" I said. Ezra glanced down at me again and fastened his run. He actually was pretty fast, even with me in his arms.

"I think I see your family" Ezra said as he squeezed his eyes. You couldn't really see much because the smoke was dark, and thick. Ezra started to cough, stumbled for a few steps, and eventually tripped over a stone. We both fell to the ground, and Ezra fell right on top of my leg.

"EZRA!" I screamed as I grabbed to my leg. I was screaming, crying and gasping for air, it was even hurting more then yesterday.

"Aria, Aria I'm so sorry" Ezra said as he crawled back up and grabbed my hand.

"Ezra- I, I can't- I can't go on" I cried as I grabbed to my leg. It felt like it was falling of my body.

"Aria, Aria we have to go on now, come on" Ezra said as he scooped his arms around my legs, but that hurt even more. I let out a agonizing scream, and Ezra immediately let go.

"Aria, Aria come on, we can do this" Ezra coughed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and threw me over his shoulder.

"Ezra! You're hurting me!" I cried out as Ezra started running again.

"Be mad at me later, I'm too busy now saving your life" he yelled as he kept running through the thick smoke.

"ARIA?! EZRA!!" I heard someone scream, and I immediatly reconized it as my father.

"BYRON! WE'RE HERE!" Ezra yelled. I saw a vague silhouette through the smoke, and I noticed Ezra saw it too. He started running towards him, but just then, a huge burning tree couldn't hold itself anymore and crashed to the ground, right before Ezra's feet. He quickly turned around to run the other way, but there were flames everywhere.

"Ezra" I wishpered

"No, no, there has to be an option" Ezra said as he quickly turned around again. We actually had to options. Or burn to death, or drown in the ocean.

"Ezra, what now?!"

"Aria, we're trapped. Again" Ezra said, let out a huge breath, and fell down to the ground.

"No!! No!! That can't be! No Ezra!" I yelled and shook his shoulder, but he just stared to the big flames.

"Come on, what happened to the 'we will make it Ezra?!'" I yelled

"Aria, unless there is some life saving fairy, we will not make it" he said with tears in his eyes.

"Ezra, come on! We will make it!" I cried, and Ezra just took me in his arms.

"Shh, shh, it's okay, I'm here"

"It's not okay! It's everything but okay!"

"At least we are together" Ezra said and pressed his lips against my forehead. He laid down in the sand, wrapping his arms around me as the flames came closer and closer.

"Goodbye Aria"

"I don't want to leave you Ezra"

"You don't have to, we go together" Ezra cried and pressed his soft lips on mine, for the last time. I felt I was drifting away. There was too much smoke in my lungs, I couldn't breath anymore.

The last thing I remember was getting ripped out of Ezra's safe arms, as someone took me in theirs and carried me to somewhere else.

"Are they okay?!"
