Chapter 19:

(Harry's POV)

I ran towards her in desperation and held her tightly in my arms, the sight of her like this was destroying me. How could I let her get here? She was happy earlier, if I listened to her warnings she would have been safe. She would be alive. Her head was resting on my lap and I couldn't hear her heart beat anymore. Her heart stopped beating and I was holding a shell of her.

"Ellie no. C'mon stay with me!" I said in panic. I rested her body down flat on the ground, raising her head so she could get oxygen in.

"She can't be dead." The killer commented getting on my last nerve. I turned to him, looking directly in his eyes getting pissed that he was still here. Like a coward, he took a step back and watched from afar. I started to do CPR the humans do in cases like this, something I thought I would never have to do.

"Stay with me Ellie." I said whilst trying to perform CPR. But after minutes of trying, the only progress I saw was the movement of her body as I did the damn CPR.

"Please stay with me" I whispered. The feeling of dread overcoming me. I hadn't lost her. I just got her back. Why didn't I listen? I could feel myself becoming consumed with anger.

"Harry" I hear her voice call from behind me. Looking up, I saw that guy look in shock at the figure behind me. I leave Ellie's body on the ground and get up to see her ghost standing there. Her facial expression was dry and drained.

"Harry, I don't have much time" She speaks as I walked up to her. I kissed her as soon as I reached her, interrupting whatever she was going to say.

"You can't be dead." I reply taring my lips away from her. I rest my forehead on hers and leave my hands on her cheeks keeping my focus on her for the short time I had.

"I just got you back." I carried on.

"I'm sorry. I tried to hold on as long as I could." She murmured through our trance. I didn't want to let her go, I couldn't let her go. It just didn't feel real.

"I love you so much Ellie" I added bringing a smile to her lips.

"I love you too " She answered, kissing me again. I saw that she was forcing her eyes to close, tears brimming in her eyes.

"I won't ever let you go. I will bring you back." I persisted. I wanted her to know I would never let her go. I would find a way of bringing her back at whatever cost. I managed to get her back after 45 years and i'm not going to let another 45 years go by without her again.

"You've spent enough time wasting on me, live your life." She protested opening her eyes, her hands on my neck, her warm touch tantalising.

"What are talking about? There's no life with you not in it?" I snapped. I knew she could see the situation for what it was but I couldn't bring myself to the reality of the situation. I didn't like what she was saying because it felt like she was giving up.

"Harry" she pleaded.

"What am I supposed to do without you?" I begged.

"This was going to happen sooner or later. I'm a witch, I'm not immortal" she explained smiling trying to make light of the worst moment of my life.

"But it wasn't supposed to happen like this. We were supposed to have more time." I said, my tears escaping.

"Well we've not got a lot of time now." She said looking down at her fading hands.

"I would do it all again if it meant having a short brief moment with you alive." I responded.

"I want you to live the life you always wanted, and because that life isn't with me, at least I will know when I'm gone that you're happy." She revealed. I started to feel her fade away from my touch, her body gradually disappearing from in front of me.

"You know I can't be happy without you." I mumbled. My eyes frantically looking around her body to see if I was imagining it but to my disappointment I wasn't.

"Try. For me." Her last words spoke before I could respond, her body completely faded out of my grasp and into the air. I lowered my hands from where they were and felt the weight of the world hit me not knowing what to do next.

She was gone.

I didn't know what to do with myself. I turned and looked at her body on the floor. I fucked everything up. I couldn't control my anger as I crouched down to her. I took ahold of her hand and for the first time we were the same temperature. I heard a shuffle from behind me when I remembered, the killer was nearby. I placed her hand down and turned around to find him running away down one of the streets.

"You." I growled as I vampire sped towards the guy who started it all, pushing him up against a wall by his throat.
