AUTHOR'S NOTE

<コ:彡<コ:彡<コ:彡<コ:彡<コ:彡<コ:彡

Yeah... I think you can guess what's going to happen.

I'm really sorry that these last few chapters have been short and the writing seems rushed but I got a bit of writer's block and I lost inspiration. Nevertheless, I have written something and I guess it's better than nothing.

On a lighter note, thanks for 100 votes on this book everyone! That means I have 1000 votes all together out of all of my books ;)

And so now to make adults cry like little babies...

...it's the second to last chapter of Life After Death...

"Aza... there's something I need to tell you." Mitch confesses.

"I'm not sure whether this is a great time right now." Azalea replies.

"Well... there might not be any other time."

Azalea sighs, "What is it?"

Mitch shuffles a little closer, "That incident in the park the other day..."

Azalea rolls her eyes, "You're not still worried about that, are you? I told you, I'm perfectly fine with it."

"No... Aza... me and Jerome we..." he never finishes.

Azalea turns back around to face him, "What is it?" She asks softly.

Mitch makes eye contact, but it doesn't last for long. He sighs and lowers his eyes, "I can't lie to you." He takes a deep breath, "What happened in the park... it was a little more than holding hands."

Azalea doesn't say anything.

"I love you, Aza. But recent events have had me thinking... maybe I... maybe I'm not right for you."

Azalea looked slightly confused, but she still refused to say anything.

"Aza I... I think... I think I love J-"

Azalea suddenly panics, "Mitch." She looks out the window again, "No." She stands up, "NO!"

"What?" Mitch asks in desperation.

"I'm really sorry." Azalea steps onto the ledge, "And... I know you love Jerome. And... I have a few secrets too, but they're gonna have to wait."

"Aza?" Mitch stands up, "What are you doing?"

Azalea turns around to face the battle, "Farewell." She steps off the ledge.

"No!" Mitch runs towards the window, "Aza!" He shrieks.

He breathes a sigh of relief as he sees her flying towards the battle. But his feelings of relief didn't even last 5 seconds as what he saw next made him run for the door.

"Sky!" Azalea cries. She lands beside his motionless body, "Sk-Sky!" She collapses onto her knees, "A-Adam?" Her hands start to tremble as she takes off his helmet and props his head up with her arm, wrapping her other arm around his shoulders, "Adam? Stay with me! Look at me! Look at me!"

"Urgh..." he groans weakly.

"Adam! You're gonna be okay!" Azalea responds, her vision starting to blur.

He shakes his head slowly, "Now... the tables have turned..." he says slowly with a weak smile.

Azalea smiles too, "I know... I wish there was something I could do."

"D-don't... worry. Just... stay with m-me."

Tears well up in Azalea's eyes, "This can't be how it ends. I'm not going to let you die!"

“It was the immortal blade.” Shadow interrupts, “He’s not gonna make it…”

Azalea whimpers, “I could’ve stopped this.”

“You did all… you had to do.” Adam whispers, “I c-couldn’t ask for more.”

“Aza.” Mitch says, running over to her.

She looks up at him and shakes her head, “He’s… he’s dying.”

“No…” Ty responds. He and the rest of the Team walk over to the scene, dropping their swords to the ground. Ty kneels next to Azalea, looking down on Adam as he lay almost motionless, “A-Adam…”

“Hey… buddy.” Adam forces a smile.

“Sk-Skylox?”

Adam nods weakly, “One day.”

Ty grins, “Okay.” He responds quietly.

“A-Aza…” Adam struggles.

“Yes?” she responds.

He slowly and painfully takes  her hand, holding it tightly, “You… you’re Queen now. You rule with… M-Mitch.”

“Adam I… you know I can’t.” Azalea protests.

Adam shakes his head, “I couldn’t choose… anyone… more worthy.”

A tear falls from Azalea’s eye, “I don’t want you to go. I love you.”

“I love you… t-too.” His grip on Azalea’s hand loosens. He takes a last sharp breath, and completely lets go of Azalea’s hand.

“Adam?” she whispers, more tears fall from her eyes, “No…” she rests her head on his, starting to sob.

Mitch places a hand on Azalea’s shoulder, “Shh… it’s okay.”

Azalea looks up at him, “No it’s not, Mitch!” she cries.

Mitch holds his arms out, gesturing for a hug, “Aza… come here.” He says softly.

Azalea slowly leaves Adam’s side, grabbing Mitch around the shoulders and hugging him tightly. She continues to cry into his shoulder, not even daring to look back at Adam.

Zachary of the Northern Taigas steps forth, he carefully removes his helmet from his head, putting it up to his chest, “The great king, SkyDoesMinecraft, has passed.”
