The Dream

I stood there silently, as a tear rolled down my face. The whole town, filled with sorrow and cries, was burned down to ashes along with the innocent people failed to escape.

I brought my hands to my face as I could not stand to watch any longer. No matter how much as I would want to turn away and not witness anything else, I couldn't. It's like I'm forced to.

Laughter. That's what I heard from behind me. It didn't stop or fade away, just continuous laughter. Curious, I turned my head around to see a man, clutching his stomach as he laughed so loudly like he was watching a comedy show.

Confused to what he was laughing at when a terrible tragedy is at place, I questioned him.

" Um, excuse me sir? Why are you laughing? " I asked him. He opened his eyes and his laughter faded away slowly and was finally gone. He kept his eyes on me and I start to feel timid like a little boy caught in trouble. " Eh, excuse me sir, I'm sorry to interrupt but something terrible is happening here. I don't understand what is so funny? " I asked again as politely as I could. A smirk formed in his lips.

" Oh dear Harry boy, please, stop caring about everything in the world, " What?

" Sorry? " I leaned closer. To my surprise, my legs could move again.

" I said, stop caring and being nice to others and learn to cherish the moment when something so beautiful like this happens. Don't say I didn't warn you dear boy, " he looked away, obviously not interested in this conversation any longer. I did the same.

" Please help me! "

I snapped my head towards the owner of the voice and saw a young lady running slowly towards me, her legs so badly injured it might give up on her anytime soon.

" @$#!% ! " I called, reaching my arms out as soon as she tripped and catched her just in time before she fell onto the hard, rocky ground. I squat down and lay her on my lap gently so it would be more comfortable and easier for her.

" Ha..Haarry.. " she groaned in pain but she managed to put a small smile on her face but it soon faded away. She placed her soft warm hand on my cheek, caressing it gently. I fluttered my eyes shut and placed my hand on top of hers and did the same as she did with my cheek. I leaned down and kissed her no longer rosy red lips as softly as I could. The world disappeared and it felt like nothing else was happening but this lovely moment. This kiss.

I felt her lips pulled away and the warmth between my cheek and hand disappeared. I heard an audible cough and opened my eyes to see a pair of eyes filled with panic and her blood-covered palm. She dropped her arm onto her side and closed her eyes.

" @$#!% ? @$#!% , please stay with me. Don't leave. @$#!% , please. You're the only one I have. Please I love you, "  I begged. I burried her into my chest, holding her as if she would die if i didn't. I let the tears fall onto the back of her shirt and prayed that a miracle would happen and I would wake up like it was just a horrible bad dream.

" Haaarry, I.. I love..you.. " was her last words. Her sorrowful yet beautiful brown eyes looked back into mine one last time before rolling back into her head.

" No no no no no no @$#!%, don't die. Please don't die. @$#!% - " Not giving up, I looked at her chest, hoping it would finally rise again. But no matter how long I stared, it stayed still like a rock. She wasn't breathing anymore..

Anger and pain flared through my body, I snapped my head towards the guy who was laughing earlier and there he was, smirking his horrible smirk.

" You! What did you do to her?!! " I yelled.

" I warned you dear boy but you didn't listen. Tsk tsk how stubborn. You see Harry, this is all your fault. If you hadn't been so loving to care for a single person in the world, all of this would never happen and your lovely partner would still be breathing, " he chuckled, looked up to the sky then back at me and smirked.

" What are you talking about? " i furrowed my eyebrows at him but he turned on his heel and started walking away like I was the wind. " Hey I'm talking to you! " I stood up and ran to him, fast. " Hey - "

I fell into a bottomless hole and the world around me swirled into darkness.
