Milan: Queen of the Wolves

Chapter 34

I jumped.

It was like falling into space, nothing to see, nothing to feel. That's when I felt like I stopped falling. A hand tightly gripped my wrist. "Milan," a heavenly voice said. It sounded so melodious; I was too terrified to even realise who it was. My first guess was rather embarrassing.

"God?"

Elliot laughed. "It's just me, love," he said. I opened my eyes and looked at him in confusion. Did he jump after me? "I will always catch you when you fall," he promised, his eyes reflecting his melancholy. Well, it isn't the greatest feeling in the world to see the love of your life hanging like a monkey.

Milan the monkey.

Okay, wrong timing.

"Come on, let's get you up," he said as he extended his other hand, expecting me to raise my other hand to give it. Any normal person would understand the situation and give their hand to him but I couldn't. I watched as Adrian (I don't know where he came from) drove a pitchfork through Ezekiel's heart. He looked at me with hatred and then disappeared.

Gone with the wind.

Literally.

"You'll be having tea and biscuits with God very soon if you continue hanging like this," Adrian laughed. I got out of my trance and looked at an irritated Elliot. I laughed and placed my hand in his. I looked down and shrieked. "Pull me up! Pull me up! I'm going to die!" I yelled. With Adrian's help, Elliot helped me up and pulled me into his arms.

It's finally over.

I felt sparks everywhere. He felt warm and familiar, safe and solid. I clung to his shirt and buried my face in the curve of his neck. He smelt like an exquisite perfume. Adrian and Arrow were snickering and joking about something so I tried pulling away from Elliot, embarrassed. He didn't let me go; he hugged me tighter. "Mine. I won't let you go," he whispered. It was as if he was consoling himself. I smiled at that thought. I don't know how he must have felt to see me die a-

"Watch out!"

Elliot spun me around and then the sound of flesh being cut into was heard. I felt warm liquid oozing onto my hands. I looked as Ara removed the knife from Elliot's back looking shocked. Arrow pushed his hand into the witch's body and ripped out her heart. He shrieked, looking at the heart, and threw it to Adrian. Adrian rolled his eyes and tossed it somewhere.

My eyes found Elliot's. I didn't know what to do or what to say. I feel to the ground and took his hand in mine as my teardrops fell onto his finger tips. "Hold on, baby. You'll be fine. I promise," I whispered. His baby blue eyes fought to stay open. "Now, we're even," he laughed softly. I cracked a sad smile but didn't have it in me to laugh. "I don't have much time. I love you, Milan Cha...," he smiled sadly. His eyes shut. I shook his body, telling him to get up.

"He's dead," Adrian whispered.

I couldn't breathe. Do you know that feeling when your favourite television series ends? When someone eats the last piece of pizza? When you lose your phone? That's how I feel now. It feels like everything that was given to me, everything that I have cherished, has been ripped away from me. This is a cruel world.

I cried. "Elliot, please don't leave me. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you...," I cried, resting my head on his chest. I didn't know what to say. He's my family. My future. My soul. My reason to live. And now, I have none of those. I didn't have a reason to get up in the morning anymore. I have nothing to be happy about.

(A/N: Please play the song now!❤️)

No one to think about and smile. No future to imagine. No one to share my secrets with. No one to confide in. No one  to say I love you to. Now, I'm just Milan. Just another person waiting for the end to come.
