{COMPLETED} The Bloody Leader

20. Replacement

Tom's POV

I hold his head in my arms, crying uncontrollably,I bit my lip the more he refused to let me heal him, I know he doesn't want me to heal him since his injury would appear on me, but what my mother impaled him with was laced with aged poison, even if I healed his injury he wouldn't be completely healed.

“I'm sorry,” I say he stops in his words confused, I sigh and ask if he can forgive me he questions in what I ment, I bit my lip, as one last tear rolls down my face, he tightens his grip on my hand and shook his head “I told you no Tom,” I bite my tongue and look at him seriously.

“I don't care Tord, I don't care what you tell me not to do,” I grip his shirt, “what part of I love you, and i don't want you to die, don't you get?!” I ask he sighs and I felt bad for yelling, he started coughing, sure he got wounded in the stomach but it shouldn't be that bad, I remember the fact that the blade was laced in poison, slowly killing him, I move him closer to my face “what are you-” “you said to make this goodbye one to be put in the history books didn't you?” He laughed slightly, I knew what I was doing sure he wouldn't let me heal his wound but I could at least extract the poison

We kiss again his arm that was holding my hand helping him sit up slightly, I couldn't help but taste burnt pennies and frogs feet, I was sure to keep us connected till the taste left his mouth, I also moved my hand on his wound, he noticed but didn't try to move his supporting hand, “T-Thomas what are you-” “Shut up,” I kissed him again, the taste was starting to thin out, I started feeling pain in my stomach area, I could tell I was bleeding do to the warm liquid running down my abdomen, I started to cough, I let go of Tord and cough, he shot himself up and wrapped his arms around my back, some poison was still in him, he attempted to remove my hand on his stomach but I refused to.

My other hand took his face and moved it back in my direction, my hand on his stomach moved and lifted his shirt, the wound was completely gone, he took that hand and held it in front of me tears forming in his eyes “You idiot what were you thinking!?” “God damn it Tord isn't it obvious?” He looked confused, I felt nauseous but I knew he still had a speck of poison in him but I kissed him again the taste was really thin, almost thought it was gone, I did know it was gone when I started to hack up blood, I didn't trust that sign so I kissed him again and it was gone, all of it, no burnt pennies or frog feet, I smiled and rested my head in his neck.

I start coughing up a lung and he wraps his hands around me again and starts to rock me “Is this how this goodbye is going to be?” I sigh ending with a cough “please tell me it's not,” I felt sleepy and started to take deeper breaths “Tom don't close your eyes, don't fall asleep I'm begging that you don't,” I sigh and lift my head I kiss his cheek and tell him that, that promise might not be the best to keep right now his grip tightens on me and he starts to cry, I wrap my arms around him and softly hush him.

“Tom! Your- Tamara's a female crystal Bon right?” I lift my head and look his same with Tord I nod “If we're fast enough and take the right shortcuts we can make it to your room, Tamara's in your room right?” I nod again he nods and tells Tord to carry me and follow him, he asks me to try to remember the fastest shortcuts to my room, I point at the open wall and say as loud as my body would let me “It connects straight upstairs.,” I say all three of the pe nod and start to run, I rest my head on Tords chest as they continue running “Thomas where now?” I point down the second hall Tord yells where I pointed, “Its ok Thomas we'll be there in a second I promise,”

I stayed quiet, everything was going in and out, it was getting harder to keep my eyes open, I see a light and notice we made it to the first level, they continued running until we got to my room, Paul opened my door and Tord followed Behind and placed me on my bed, I watched as he left me and starts to call Tamara's name, I look up at my roof my eyes hung low and they start to close “No no no no, Thomas please, wh-where's Tamara?” “I-I don't k-know,” I creep out, he puts his head in my arm and sighs, he gets back up and goes by Paul.

I wince in pain as something was placed on my stomach, I look down and see Tamara staring at me, I huff and lay my head back down “T-Tord,” I say I started coughing and be turn around “T-TAMARA!” he runs to me but gets held back by Paul, I reach my hand out but drop it almost immediately, I wince in pain again Tamara was standing on her hind legs, she moves to where my wound is and moves my shirt, I feel her nibble on my skin it trickled but hurt at the same time she then stuck her head up and sneezed three times in a row, I no longer felt pain from the wound but I was still lightheaded, out of nowhere I start to feel my body shut off it hurt.

“Thomas?” I hear from afar I don't move, I can't everything started going cold, and I bit my lip. Tamara moved towards my face by the time she was on my chest everything went black, this feels familiar, my body felt light as a feather, the taste of burnt pennies and frog feet was all too familiar, breathing seemed harder and I felt like I was underwater, my head was throbbing with pain I felt like just rolling over and puking but I couldn't, everything was cold I was cold and numb, breathing wasn't an option nothing was, is this it, did I really sit in my death bed freshly made? I ask myself I hear my name in a cry, I knew it was Tord I felt bad, my last thought before everything went silent and light began to flood the room “Tord, I wish I could take your time, I'll see you on the other side,”

Is that it? Is this how this story ends??? Tord sad and depressed as Tom dies saving his life? I think not, but what do you think? Comment what you think who knows this could be it for the adorable duo, sadly that answer won't be till the next chapter loves, on that questioning note I'll see you guys in the next chapter, I purple you all byyeee 💜💜💜
