Chapter twenty five

Oriana I felt her still in my arms and heard her last breath slip from her mouth softly. I cradled her tightly against my chest soaking my shirt in her blood, continually rocking her gently. The world around me stopped and faded away as I was left in my own little bubble with Elizabeth’s lifeless form.

Sobs continued to wrack my body as I cried freely letting the tears trickle of my face and onto Elizabeth’s. She looked so peaceful in death as if she was only sleeping. “Wake up Elizabeth” I whispered moving her hair from her face with a shaky hand. “Just wake up Lizzie, just wake up” I begged softly stroking her hair and face as if she was a sleeping child. “You can do this for me” I told her as another round of painful sobs shook my body. “Come on Lizzie” I murmured.

Her face had become pale and swept of all traces of life. I rocked her faster and harsher slipping from my knees onto my bum with her laid across my lap. Straightening out her shirt I felt my hands touch the warm sticky blood seeping from her wound. I kept my eye trained on her face as my bubble began to dissolve and I could hear the world around me creeping up on me. “No Lizzie stay with me” I began to panic, helplessly trying to make her come back to me, come back to life.

A hand landed on my shoulder and attempted to pull me away. I wrapped my arms further around Elizabeth and held on tight. “NO” I screamed as they again attempted to move me away from her. “Oriana you have to let go, we have to move her” a soft voice whispered to me. I recognised it as being Damien but I never took my eyes from Elizabeth’s face. “NO YOU CAN’T TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME” I yelled squeezing Elizabeth’s cooling, lifeless body to my chest burying my head in her hair. “Oriana let her go” Damien begged softly but I shook my head viciously.

Silence followed before two pairs of hands grasped onto mine and effortlessly removed my arms from around Elizabeth. As they let go I attempted to wrap my arms around her again when a third pair of hands grabbed onto my upper arms and kept them at my sides. “No please no” I begged beginning to panic as I couldn’t reach hold of her. I turned my head to see Damien’s tear stained face watching me intently, and his hands on my arms. “Please” I begged him quietly. He sighed and a tear leaked from his eye. I noticed a small patch of blood on his forehead from his scuffle with Heath. “I’m sorry sweet pea” he whispered and I turned to see a stretcher in front of me.

Another deafening sob left my lips as I watched two guards carefully and easily lift Elizabeth from my legs and place her neatly on the stretcher. The weight had felt comforting to me that she was still there but now I had nothing of her with me. I stilled in Damien’s arms as they placed a white sheet over Elizabeth covering her from view. Tears made a steady river down my face as I saw the white sheet slowly becoming stained red in the place of her wound. I shook my head and watched powerlessly from the floor as the guards lifted the stretcher from the floor and Elizabeth’s hand slipped from under the cover hanging over the edge. I struggled out of Damien’s grasp and scrambled over to the stretcher. I picked up her hand and raised it up to my lips placing a small kiss of goodbye onto it. Damien stood next to me but made no attempt to refrain me. I tucked her hand back under the cover and flattened it over her hand and arm.
