Unforgettable - KOTLC

~"Unforgettable," a Keeper of the Lost Cities fanfiction (WRITTEN AFTER FLASHBACK, SO IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT, DO NOT CONTINUE READING THIS!!)

This book is a fanfiction based from a series written by a talented author by the name of Shannon Messenger. The characters were created by her, but the plot of this book is original. If you haven't read her series, I highly recommend doing so, as it has an amazing storyline and well developed characters!

Fitz held Sophie close to his chest. His heart was pounding uncontrollably, and his every touch was careful, as if one wrong move could end it all. Her brown eyes met his teal ones, and they stared breathlessly at each other for a moment.

"Are you alright?" He choked out, still in shock from the previous ordeal.

Pain flashed in her eyes, but she managed to shake her head.

She let her head fall back to his chest. Every moment with Fitz caused her heart to twist in all kinds of pain, yet she persisted, not wanting to let him go just yet.

"I won't ever let you go, Sophie. Do you want to know something?" Fitz whispered, wrapping his trembling arms around her torso.

"Hmm?" She quivered.

"You're unforgettable, Sophie. I just. . . wanted to show the world you were finally mine, and now this?" He tore a hand through his disheveled hair.

Sophie's eyelids drooped, and she barely managed to stay conscious. "No," she murmured firmly. "You have to move on. . ."

Her words hung in the air as black swirled into her consciousness, and she fell limp in his arms.

He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her cheek before carrying her away in the crisp, night air.
