Cold Embrace


Dread flushed all thoughts out of her mind as she raced through the woods, feet pounding against the ground. Tree branches in the way smacked and scratched her face and arms, but Mercedes didn't pay much attention to it as she hurriedly sprinted on. Her breaths coming out in hasty wheezes as she gulped down air, her body begging for a break, but she kept going. She had to make sure that this terrible feeling was nothing more than misplaced worry. She had to make sure that Evan was okay, that he wasn't dead in teensy tiny pieces.


Skidding to a halt, Mercedes's eyes widen in alarm and her mouth froze in a gape as she observed the scene before her. Evan was on the surface of the earth surrounded by blood and gloomy water. His form was covered in slices and bruises, he had been battered up badly by the enemies; they all had. Mir was beside him, unmoving and also tattered up; both were still breathing, though shallow.


"Evan?" She called out lightly. "Evan!"


The young blonde rushed forward towards the brunette, ignoring her own injuries that were screaming for her to stop. When she reached her comrade, she gently placed a hand on his cheek to check if the boy was conscious. His hazel globes split open and eyed at the girl above him, observing her miserable appearance.


"Merc?" His voice was jagged and rough, but was also soft and weary.  


Mercedes beamed at the other with an ice melting smile. "I'm here, Evan." She forcefully muttered. "I'm here, don't worry."


Evan raised a hand, shakily and grasped Mercedes's hand with an exhausted like manner. The fair skinned woman didn't pay any heed to him at first, desperately searching for a healing potion unsuccessfully, until he smoothly brushed his thumb over her wrist peacefully. She gasped quietly and gawked at the young dragon master. Droplets of salty liquid filled the young maidens blue spheres as she watched the dying hero gaze tenderly at her. Her heart was being squeezed and singed into ashes.


"Lie... down ...with m-me?" She could only choke on a sob at his request and nod.


She lounged beside him, his blood coating her skin, as he draped a frail arm around her and hugged her close. His breaths were becoming weaker with every passing moment as he rested with the girl he treasured. Mercedes didn't have any more healing potions and Evan was slipping away.


"Evan, I d-don't know if you can h-hear m-m-me right now, but I just w-wanted to say th-th-that I love y-you." Mercedes coughed out.


The dying male, who could no longer speak, grunted in response and merely squeezed her closer. His low breathing barely fanned the back of her neck, making the girl shutter in dismay. Mercedes laid there with Evan and wailed caringly as she felt the boy's warmth leave and all that was left was a heatless shell that used to be the love of her life.


Even when Evan had stopped breathing, Mercedes didn't move from his hug, instead, she laid there choking on sobs in his cold embrace.
