*Chapter 14*

Status: Updated :)

Holly POV

I'm dying... I don't want to accept that at all. I kept looking up at the sky to make me feel better, but the stars were no where to be seen under the dense clouds above. I finally allowed myself to cry, but I didn't just cry. I sobbed, I sobbed like I had never sobbed before.

The sharp pain still pierced my chest. I let out exhausted cries here and there but I tried to ignore it which was honestly impossible seeing as I could barely breathe without the stabbing pain in my chest appearing. I couldn't stand to see Uma and Harry watch me go so I ran off into the woods, not to mention I now have a bad feeling about Celia and want to find her to make sure she's alright.

Most of all, with every step I take I begin to regret running away. But... I hated seeing Harry and Uma in so much pain because of me, they're my family. I let the tears fall at a rapid pace as I closed my eyes and sobbed in pain and sadness all at once. My breathing was shortening and I felt my lungs tense up as my heart raced to try to make up for my lost energy but it was no use. Every breath, every motion now would bring a sharp piercing pain straight into my chest as if it were stabbing me in the heart, now that I'm out here and I feel all of this pain I wanted Uma and Harry here, maybe they could comfort me but no. I was stupid and ran away because they were sad and angry too. I... I don't want to die, but I most certainly don't want to die alone.

I miss the warmth Harry gave me, I wish I could slowly slip away there instead of out here in the middle of no where. I was beginning to see my breath I was getting so cold, I held my arms and tried to create some form of friction as my skin felt like it was turning to ice. My teeth began to chatter and my jaw was already hurting from the chattering. The tears running down my cheeks seemed like the only warmth left in my body leaving me.

The worse I felt the sadder I was becoming, I'm so stupid for running off. I began sobbing purely because I was upset that I was alone though I brought it onto myself. I looked up again for a moment and wiped my tears... realizing how much I missed my dad too,

"D-Dad... h-help m-me... d-dad..."

I whimpered, knowing how pathetic I sounded too. My heart was racing in the worse way as I realized, I never in my entire life have told my dad that I love him. Suddenly I felt terrible that I never have, but I never felt the need to... but now I want to,

"P-Please... y-you g-gotta be a-able t-to do s-something... d-dad p-please h-help m-me... I-I w-wanna t-tell you t-that I-I l-love you... I d-don't wanna d-die... I-I'm n-not r-ready... "

I pleaded to no one as I looked to the sky. Lightening filled the sky again, but that's not what I wanted. I want my dad, I want Harry, I want Uma, I... I don't want to die like this.

I tried to focus my thoughts on something else, anything else besides pain and the fear of dying like this. I thought of the good old times... I remembered my dads stupid jokes, Uma and I sparring back and forth when she was teaching me how to use a sword, Harry when he decided to start pulling light pranks on me for fun... times full of so much laughter and fun... but that's all I was able to get. I'll only see eighteen, nearly nineteen years of fun times... now feeling like I didn't use my time as wisely as I could have and wishing... wishing I could have another go at it.

I found a nice looking tree surrounded by nice mosses and a few flowers and sat down. This is it, my burial sight, I even got to pick it myself. I sat down and curled up into a little ball and weeped, watering the flowers with my tears... I don't wanna be alone anymore, I wanna be held again! I wanna be comfortable during my last minutes, I at least wish I was warm...

I paused to hear something nearby as I swear I thought I heard a stick snap. I closed my eyes and just let it be, it could be an angel of death... I can't fight anything in this fragile state anyway,
