Footsteps raced down the dark, ashy ground. The gasping for air echoed through the late night. The sound of her racing heartbeat echoed in her ears.
Olivia prayed inwardly. 'Please be safe.' She chanted desperately.
Olivia froze, as her eyes locked on the figure lying on the ground. A storm of thoughts swirled through her head. " It can't be.." she hesitantly walked towards him.
When she got closer, she saw Lucian lying still, his blood pooling beneath him, staining the ashy ground red.
She dropped beside him, not caring how hard the ground was, her fingers trembled as they brushed his shoulders.
His face pale, sweat pooling at his brow. She brushed aside a strand of hair stuck to his cheek, her hand trembling. " Please… stay with me."
"Lucian…" she whispered, her voice cracking like a snapped thread. "Don't scare me, get up please," she whispered again, as if she was scared of it being loud enough to miss the sound of his voice. Her eyes shone with fear and guilt.
