Illusion // Jelix

Part Thirteen

Watery blue eyes. That's what I see, what I remember. The darkness was fading from my vision. I breathed in and out. I could breathe. All around me seemed like space. It was empty. And it was just me. I smiled.

"I soared, haven't I?" I said to myself.

My words echoed around me. I felt something on my face. I blinked, and saw Sean. His warm hands were placed against my cheeks. Watery blue eyes was in my vision.

I tried to touch Sean; he seemed worried. He was yelling at me. I wiped away his tears slowly. I couldn't hear what he was trying to say. Behind him, I saw Anti. He stared at him with pure rage.

I tried to kiss Sean. When I tried, he backed away.

I blinked, the beautiful emptiness was gone. I was back in Sean's room. I was dizzy, the darkness was still fading, I could breathe.

Sean showed me the most beautiful smile.

I'm... I'm alive. Sean grabbed my hand, he held it close to his mouth sharing a long soft kiss. I looked around. I was untied. I looked down at Sean, he held the knife in his right hand.

He let go of me. He grinned and turned to Anti. Anti breathed heavily, he was furious.

"H͡É'S͝ ̸M̛AKING ỲOU͢ ̴D̶O ͝TH͝IS SE͏AŅ!̡ ̴I̶'V͟E A̵LW͘AYS̀ ̵LO̶V̕E͏D ̡Y͝OU̢! WE'̨R̷E͟ T͜O̴GE͜THER̷. ͟Í ́A͝M ͏YOUR̷ RUL͡ER. ͠Y̛O͏U ̛CAN͝NÒT ̵SŢO͝P M͝E͏. YOU҉R͘ ͢BO͡D͏Y͡ ͠I͜S ̀WEA̧K̴!̢"

Sean clenched the knife. He stepped closer to Anti.

"I'M I͘N͡ ́YOUR̨ ͢M͢IN̕D͟ YO̷U KN̴OW!͝ I͢ ͠CAN COME ͡B͢AC̛K̀ ̶W̴H́E͜N̕EV͝ȨŖ I҉ WANT! ́YOU̷'͞RE͟ INSA͡N͠E͠ BEC͝A͞U͟SE ÒF̸ ME! ͞I͜ CA͘NNOT ̷B҉E G̸ƠTTEN ̴RI͢D O҉F́ SE̴A҉N̸"

Sean raised his knife, and pressed Anti against a wall.

Anti smiled devilishly, "I'l̢l̶ ͜co͡me̷ ́ba̵ćk, S̷e͟an.̛

Sean stopped for a moment. He realized Anti was right. He looked over at me. I couldn't speak. Sean looked back at Anti.

Sean was shaking when he raised the knife. He stared into Anti's eyes. He closed his eyes, and rammed the knife directly into his heart.

Sean backed away from Anti. Anti laughed like a monster, deep and ravenous. He bent over, trying to get the knife out of him. He looked up at me, then at Sean.

Sean gasped and held onto his chest. He breathed heavily. Anti slowly waved goodbye to us.

He collapsed onto the floor. Anti turned into a pile of ash. The ashes moved up the walls like a snake. It jumped onto Sean's head and into his mouth.

Like that, he was gone. Sean breathed strongly. He coughed out some shadowy mucus. Sean touched his heart and made eye contact with me.

I couldn't smile at this time.

"Sean? I-Is he gone?"

Sean nodded.

I got up out of the chair, and gave Sean an immense hug. He didn't hug back.

I let go. I slowly started to laugh from relief. He smiled gracefully, full of pure joy.

I kissed him roughly and proudly. He held onto my face. I ended the kiss.
