" No!" I screamed, throwing myself in front of Rue. " I won't let you!"
The tall man towered above me, his white hair hanging around his face. I shielded Rue with my body, stretching my arms and legs out.
" I won't let you!" I repeated. I saw a smile spread across his face. His booming laugh echoed through the room of Rues home.
Suddenly, I feel a hand come in contact with my face. It was the man. I fall to the ground, and squeeze my eyes shut, pretending to be knocked out.
I peeked a little, seeing Rues scared eyes. I wanted to protect her. I wish I had.
He pulled out a knife. I held back a breath, making my throat tickle. He neared her, and she toke a deep breath as he plunged it into her chest.
Her breathing faltered, and she fell to the floor beside me. The man smiled cruelly and walked out of the home, tucking the knife into his jacket.
I grabbed her hand. Her eyes went wide, and I say above her. I pulled the knife out, and she screamed in pain.
" It's okay, you're okay," I assured her. " You're going to be okay."
" I'm not," her voice was hoarse.
" You are," I was assuring myself more than her when I said this.
" Can you sing?" She whispered.
" Yes," I said, tears stinging my eyes. " Deep in the meadow,
Under the willow,
A bed of grass,
A soft green pillow,
Lay down your head and close your eyes,
And when again they open, the sun will rise."
Her eyes closed fully, and her chest stopped moving. I feel on the floor, crying, and put my hand to my face. It felt wet. I took it away. I'd been bleeding.
I felt my self go dizzy, and suddenly my eyes close, and my world went dark.
When I woke up, I was here. I'd been charged with murder.
That was then.
This is now.
