The wood is thick, but Beginning draws closer. I can feel his presence: strong, determined, worried. He's even sad. I still want to hold him.
I crouch in the brush, hoping against hope that he'll pass me by. I hear him singing, his voice is scratchy from overuse. He needs water.
I have water.
The singing stops and my heart beat picks up.
"End? I'm here! Answer me! Are you alright?" His sweet tenor voice is tight with concern.
I catch a glimpse of Beginning through the trees. He is beautiful. I want to be close to him.
"No!" I tell myself.
"End?"
Oh no. I clap a hand over my mouth. But it's too late. Beginning crashed through the undergrowth straight towards me. I can't move, I'm too afraid.
"Where are you hurt?" Beginning kneels in front of me, hands outstretched.
To touch me.
"No!" I shout again.
I flinch, scrambling back, away from Beginning.
"Don't touch me."
Beginning's face is creased with confusion. "But you said you weren't alright..."
"I'm okay."
"Why... Why can't I touch you?" He whispered.
"You know what I do." I tried to steady my voice, it came out as a low whisper. "Everything I touch..."
I tried to choke down a sob.
"Dies." Beginning whispered.
He had his hands in his lap and his head bowed. He looked angelic.
I could only nod. I didn't deserve to look at Beginning, but I couldn't look away. Beginning. My Beginning.
"End. I need you to kill something for me."
When I didn't answer, he kept going.
"Can you End the war for me? Please?"
"I can try."
