Tainted Hearts

Chapter 25

My body started shaking and I couldn't breathe.

My life flashed in front of my eyes.

Paralyzed

I would soon be dead. Not breathing, not living, dead...

It was funny as I died I felt somewhat happy. I was dying a gruesome death but I find comfort in the arms that were reaching out for me.

It was coaxing me. Begging me to join its side. I couldn't though I had to fight.
There was an urge to continue fighting for my life.

Klaus had long been gone and left me slowly dying in my room.

I heard a crash downstairs and felt dizzy.

Then suddenly my door burst open and Caroline walked in.

She frantically ran to my side and said things I couldn't process.

It was gibberish as I swayed.

I felt a warm liquid run down my throat and I started coughing. I rolled over to feel some of the pain fade away.

"Are you alright?" Caroline asked as she hugged me.

I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I clutched Caroline as I cried. I sobbed until I couldn't sob any more. My throat had become scratchy and sore from all the crying.

Caroline stayed by my side the whole night.

"Caroline please stay?" I begged with my croaking voice.

"Alright Clara belle," she said as she slipped off her leather boots and ten hopped into bed with me.

I laid my head down on the soft pillow and fell into a slow content dream.
