I've never given much thought to how I would die.
But dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.
That fateful night was supposed to be an escape that turned into a massacre, where two lovers trying to stay together, ended up fighting for their lives against those who wanted them separated. That fateful night that was supposed to end with And they lived happily ever after ended with innocent bloodshed.
"Let him go!" Izzy cried, trying to pull the attacker away from the man he was beating mercilessly. "Stop it! Stop it!"
"Izzy, run! Now!" The man from beneath yelled as he was punched and kicked. Izzy pulled on the attacker's coat hard, yanking him off the man. The attacker suddenly turned on Izzy and grabbed her by the throat and threw her on the ground. The man dragged himself up to his feet and gripped him from behind, pulling him away from her. "Leave her alone! Don't hurt her! Izzy, run! Go help him! Help him!"
"Leave him alone!" Izzy cried to the attacker as he turned to the man with a dagger in his hand. She pulled herself back on her feet and wiped the blood away from her upper lip. "He isn't responsible, he was trying to help. Leave him alone!"
"Leave now, Izzy! Run, please!" The man cried out.
There was no way she could save them both. It was one life or another. It was saving an innocent man or saving the love of her life whom she couldn't live without. Knowing it was the only thing she could do, Izzy's heart broke as she mouthed a thank you to the man who was like a second father to her and ran into the woods. That small gesture touched his heart. That moment of distraction was enough for the attacker to shove his dagger deep into the man's gut. Pain shot through his entire body, his blood trailed down his abdomen as the attacker pulled the dagger out and shoved it right back in.
"Was your life worth protecting their sin?" The attacker hissed as he threw his body to the ground. The man fell, grunting and holding on to dear life. "ISABELLA!" The attacker roared and ran after her in the woods.
And in that man's final moments, he heard the fatal shot that set in motion a chain of events that changed the story of a forbidden love affair.
