His Warrior

Chapter Thirty Nine: The end of it all

 I'm listening to BTS' wings on the piano, I'm going to start crying as I write this. I put some piano music above if you want to listen to it. 

 
  Y/N looked up at me with tears in her eyes. Tears were in my eyes, blinding my vision. No! I just wanted to look at her! Her and only her! 

"Please Y/N...stay with me," I whispered. 

"I can't walk Sam.." She replied using a hushed voice. "I'll carry you!" I screamed, my tears dropping onto her face, but she didn't seem to care. 

"Y/N please, I know it's been rough but we still have each other, right?" I asked her. No reply. 

"And Elizabeth too, she'll be happy to see you!" I said, trying to put a smile on my face as I thought of Elizabeth. "I'm sorry Sam but my time has come," She said to me, brushing her palm against my tear stained cheek. "Please, just let me carry you." 

"You can barely walk Sam, there's no hope for me but there is for you. Save yourself," She spoke softly. "I don't care about myself! I want to be with you! My father is dead! We can have no more worries anymore!" I shouted. "That would be nice, wouldn't it?" She asked, looking up at the ceiling. "Remember when we first met?" She asked me. "Of course," I choked on my words. 

"When I first saw you, I saw a scared little boy who was in need of help. But now, I see a brave man whom I love," I gently moved her hair out of her face. 

"And remember when we first kissed? It was the most amazing moment of my life," I smiled at all her comments. 

"When I asked you who you were running from," I looked back on the memory of me freaking out because I thought she was working with my father. 

"Then the battle in the bar, I scared those guys away didn't I?" She asked me. I nodded in agreement. "What about that time you helped that farmer and his daughter?" I asked her. "I remember them, they were so happy," 

"And remember when I pretended something bad was going to happen and I scared you?" 

"Yeah I remember," I replied, looking back on the memory of her laughing at my frantic face. 

"Then we actually did get captured and had to fight for our lives," I added. 

"Remember when you asked me how I can be so kind but so crazy?" She asked me. I shook my head no. "We were standing in a river and you took your hands in mine and asked me how you were so lucky," I thought back to the memory and soon retrieved it, smiling at the memory. 

"And that abandoned train? Remember all the cool stuff we found?" I asked her, she replied saying "Yeah, that was before we found Sarah," I thought back to Sarah and more tears came. "She looked so scared, she was so hungry when we found her. Having no idea her parents were dead," I thought back to it. 

"When you asked me to tell you about my past," I added. She nodded. "I remember I was always worrying about you and Sarah, I was in love with you," I spoke softly, I slowly lifted Y/N's body more onto mine so I could hold her. "The forest fire." 
"That was a terrifying day, but that day I realized how much I cared about you and Sarah," 

"I was always having bad dreams about Baylee and my father but you helped me through it," I told her. She smiled weakly. "I tried," 

"When my father found me, I didn't care about my life. I only cared about protecting you and Sarah," I said as more tears came, looking over at my father. "I promised to avenge Baylee, but you did it for me Sam," Y/N said to me. I took her hand in mine and held it firmly, I said "We did it together," 

"Remember Carol and Jeffry?" She asked me. 

"Yeah I can never forget those two, I loved them so much," I replied, remembering Carol's warm welcoming and Jeffry's jokes. 

"I always liked hunting with you," She said to me, looking over at her bloody sword. I turned her head away from it, not wanting her to see the murder weapon. 

"Then there was all the drama with Ivan." Y/N said. I shivered at the sound of his name. "Please, don't talk about him. Not now," I stated. She nodded in agreement. 

"Then that one night, the night Elizabeth was created." I said, looking at the wall as I thought of it and then back down at Y/N. "It was nice, for my first time," She replied. I nodded in agreement. 

"When we got our new house I was so happy to finally have a place we could call home." I said, looking around our little house. 

"You always knew when I wasn't okay." I said, remembering all the times I woke up crying because Baylee cried for my help. But I wasn't there to help her. 

"Remember when we found Maria? Another child!" Y/N happily said. I chuckled. "You and children, I'm pretty sure if someone hears our story they'll yell stop adopting kids!" I laughed at the thought. Y/N looked at me seriously. "Tell someone our love story, go around the world and tell the world our story. Tell everyone, let them know how much you mean to me and how much I meant to you," 

"When Elizabeth was born, I felt so proud to be a father." I said, remembering holding Elizabeth for the first time. She was just a fragile little baby, not having done anything wrong. She's never hurt anyone. She had her mother's face. 

"Sam, it's now time for me to go." She said. 

"Please! Not yet! Just stay a few more minutes!" I cried. "Sam?" I sniffled. "What?" 
She wiped the tears rolling down my face and brushed my cheek. "I have one last request." She asked me. "What is it, anything!" 

"Most couples want to kiss or hug, die by each other's side but I've realized something." She spoke softly, her eyes never leaving mine. 

"I never touched your rabbit ears, that will make me happy." She said. I laughed and lowered my head she gently touched them. I smiled at her as she felt their fluffiness. "They're soft." She said. 
I nodded in agreement. 


"Goodbye Sam, I will always love you," 

  Before I could tell her I loved her back, she was already gone. I kissed her forehead, both her cheeks, her nose, and her lips. Wanting to remember everything about her. More tears streamed in my eyes as I crawled away from the bodies surrounding me. Maria, my father, and now Y/N...
I leaned up against a wall as tears streamed down my cheeks. Every girl I've ever loved has been taken from me. 

 
  I hugged my mother and smiled brightly up at her. "I love you Mommy!" I told her, smiling brightly. She lifted me up and held me in her arms. "I love you more Sammy," 
My Dad then walked up and hugged us both. "I love you two the most." 



"Sammy stop it!" Baylee squealed as I tickled her. "What's the magic word?" I asked her as I continued tickling her. "S-please!" She giggled. I stopped tickling her and pulled her into a hug. "I love you Baylee." 

"I love you too Sam," 

 I embraced Y/N and our eyes locked. I kissed her lips softly. Her lips tasting like everything I thought they would taste like. They were soft and sweet, suiting her personality well. 

"I love you." I whispered. 

"I love you too," She whispered back. 


"Daddy!" I turned around and Sarah jumped into my arms. 

"There's my little girl! Did you help Mommy?" I asked her, smiling. 

"I sure did! We fed goats!" She squealed. 

I smiled at her. "Sarah?" 

"Yes Daddy?" 

"I love you." 

"I love you too Daddy," 

I pulled Maria into a hug as she cried into my chest. "Please don't make me go back! I can't go back! I'm scared.." She whispered. I lifted her chin up so she could look at me. 

"Maria." I said as I wiped her tears. 

"What?" She sobbed. 

"I won't ever make you go back, I love you remember that," 

"I-I love you too Father," 

  I pulled Y/N, Sarah, Maria in a hug. 

"My girls, I love you all so much," I said to them. 

"I love you too," They said in unison. 


"Goodbye Elizabeth." I said as I set down the little basket she was in on a front porch of a wealthy estate. I had wrapped her up in multiple blankets to keep her warm. The family I was leaving her with were kind people with tender hearts. I couldn't bare to look at her, knowing I failed. I failed everyone I loved. How can I raise her knowing I failed? She has the face of her mother. I can't look at her. I kissed her forehead softly. 

"I love you Elizabeth," 

"I love you too," A girl's voice whispered. 

  I loudly knocked on the front door three times before pulling my hood back on and walking into the rain. I ran away from the house and watched as the door was open and a woman with brown hair appeared. She was wearing a long black dress. "Oh darling look! A baby!" She picked up Elizabeth's basket and took her inside where it was warm. 

"Goodbye Elizabeth." 

  I looked up to the rain and remembered Y/N. I met Y/N on a rainy night and I'm leaving her child on a rainy night. 

What a way to start and end a story...
