War

"We got this! Come on!" He yelled at me, swinging his sword at the enemy. Dammit. I yelled and charged forward towards the man before me, his face savage, angry, bloodthirsty. These damn people are insane! Fighting for the hell of it, causing wars left and right... I parried his swing and used my freehand to stab him with my dagger in the heart. My opponent falling to the ground gurgling up blood.

"Damn bastards just all need to rot in hell," I grumble, my eyes snap back up to the battle ahead of me. I watched for just a second as the people I knew were fighting for their lives, friends, falling to their death, friends yelling lost in the fight of life or death.

"This is what we do... honey. I want to go home..." I say under my breath before charging ahead once again to meet my next enemy~~~

{ Darling, be safe for me okay. 

"I will, I promise. For you. Always."

Hehehe, I knew I could count on you. You're so charming.

"Oh come on, it'll be alright."

I'll miss you, make it quick and come back home as soon as you can.

"I don't know about that, but I can try."

Good, trying is better than not.}

"Fucking hell these people are like damn zombies! Even as they're at their last breaths they're grabbing your ankles and tripping you!" Someone yells, I furrow my brow as I spin around my new opponent, going in for quick small stabs before with a flick of my wrist I cut off my opponent's hand. He screams in agony before I stab him in the throat. Another kill for me. I step over the body, I'm suddenly cut off by a death hold on my ankle. My eyes go wide and I see the bloody body's hand wrapped around my ankle. I hear a battle cry to then see a spear coming at me. I duck down and step away, ripping my foot out of the hand's grasp. I look to the wielder of the spear and I take a few steps back gritting my teeth. Dammit... I've never fought anyone who's wielded a spear~~~

{Look! It's a seagull!

"You mean a sky rat?!"

Oh Shush! That's mean!

"That's the truth! Not mean!"

You're too funny! Now let's get some icecream. It's so hot at the beach.}

I step to the right, the spear nicking my arm. I grunt as the sting of the cut shoots through my nerves. I dance about, doing my best to evade the wrath of the spear. My weapons too short and too dull to fend off the spear without breaking.

{"Happy Birthday! I got you your favorite!"

Icecream cake?! Really! This thing is huge!

"Well, it's your favorite. Since it's so big we have enough cake to celebrate it every day this week. You know, I think the world should celebrate your birth everyday. This world is too good for you. You're so amazing!"

Aww... That's too much. Thank you though. You're so sweet and amazing. I'm so happy to celebrate my birthday with you this year darling.

"I am too. There's not a day I go without thinking about you. Now. Make a wish!"}

My eyes go wide as my body suddenly bursts into pain, my eyes move to the right and I see I've been stabbed by someone else. My partner, where'd he go... Oh... My eyes fall on the body I see not far away. Dead... no... Not now. I don't want to die. Not here on this mud and muck of a field. 

{ I love you.

"I love you too... I won't die on you."}

No I can't die... My knees cave in on themselves, my body thundering in pain as the weapon that was plunged into me was then brutally ripped out. I promised her, I wasn't going to die. I fall onto my face, loosing blood at a rapid pace.

I never got to say what I wanted to say. She is my world. I wanted to see her. Her warm chocolate eyes. Her soft yet loving face, her soft wavy hair. I regret those days I pushed her away.. Those days I hurt her... Please forgive me. I'm so sorry. I regret everything about this. I thought it'd be okay.

I love you.

You'll keep me alive. In your heart. 

In your heart. Because I gave you my heart darling.

Keep me alive in your heart...
