After The Nightfall ...

•Chapter 19•

"Stay with me. Okay. "The guy said as he held me and ran. My eyes felt heavy and it felt so hard to breath.

He moved several lefts and right then muttered a shit. My eyes got wide as he turned a corner to hide from a guard.

"Stay here. "He whispered.

I nodded as he put me down on my feet.

I sneaked to see what he was doing and I saw him go to the guard who was standing next to a door.

"Hey man. How's work going?" he asked the guard.

"Good. How are you doing?" The guard asked.

"Oh pretty well. Just got bored and thought of moving around. You want some help? I can take your turn if you want. "

The guy said.

"Oh thanks man! That's so kind of you. "

"Any thing man. "They did their chest crush thing and then the guard moved the other way, going out of my sight.

"Hey you. "The guy whispered. He was about 30, tall , muscular , and you can say handsome.

"Yea coming. "I whispered back.

I walked fast to him and he opened the door. "Get in and do what ever it takes you to save him. I'll open the door when it's time to get back. "He whispered. I nodded.

As soon as the door opened the scent of River hit my noise. Gosh. How much I miss him.

The door slowly shut behind me and I felt kind of strength hit me.

"Uh." I looked at the corner of the room and saw River looking like a dead person, laying on a bed and covered with a thin blanket.

His eyes were closed and his face was facing the ceiling. I felt broken. I don't know why I wasn't moving. I don't even know why I didn't jump on him and hug him like crazy.

"Kylie. Am I dead? Uh. I .. miss your scent so much. " He mumbled still with eyes closed.

Poor River, he thinks he's dead.

I slowly walked to his bed and took a deep breath before I said.

"No...you're not dead. " I kneeled next to his bed and slowly cupped his face causing electric shots into my hand.

His eyes slowly opened tiredly and he looked at me.

"Kylie?" He whispered in his tired voice.

"Yes River. "I whispered, placing my other hand on his hair, caressing them.

He seemed to love me playing with his hair. He closed his eyes taking in deep breathes.

I watched as his warm hand found its way to hold in my hand. He placed my hand on his lips, kissing every part of it.

I smiled at him.

"I'm sorry I left you. "

"Don't be. It's not your fault. Just promise you won't leave me again. "

"I -" I cut my self off.

He looked in my eyes reading them. "I can't promise. " I said looking at him with sorry eyes.

He laid back and closed his eyes shut.

A tear rolled down his temple.

I couldn't bare that. I kissed his temple ,erasing the trail that the tear left.

I continued kissing him, to his eye , his lashes , his cheek as he took in relaxing breathes. I kissed his noise and down between lip nose and lips.
