#456 Sob Story

"Look at me!" she cried as she cuddled his head in her lap.
"Don't you dare close your eyes!"

Everyone around her went silent as they watched the two lovers. Only the sound of rain and thunder were heard, not to mention, her wails.

"Dammit! We've come this far, this freaking far!" her armor was not doing a good job from preventing her clothes to get wet.

They've come this far, the war between good an evil. They've won but the payment was great, they're going to lose a wonderful leader, a loyal friend... a lover.

She let out a loud wail towards the sky, her eyes were closed and her heart was tore open. Her insides felt as though it has been violently clawed and teared. Sobs were followed after the wail and his chest was rising and falling.

Rising and falling.

Just a matter or time before he would be taken far, far away from the arms of his lover.

His heart no longer beat as fast, in fact, it's slowing down rapidly.

"I love you, you knuckle head," he managed to choked out as he wiped off a tear from her cheek. He was insufferable that way. She hated and loved him for that. He always know the right things to do or to say to make her feel better. His action would always cause her to smile no matter how much grief she felt in her.

Through her tears, she smiled and gave out a soft half choke half laughter. Sarah, her close friend, buried her face in Leonard's shoulder blade as he comforted her. Her friends around her either cried or have a grim face put on.

"Don't go," she begged.

"I'm leaving, love, I can't stay any longer,"

"Please, don't go," she whispered as she held his hand.

"We'll meet again, I promise,"

"Don't promise such foolish things," she smiled through her tears.

"But I've never go back on my promise,"

"But how can you promise something like that?"

"Miracle happens when you least expect it,"

His voice was carried through the wind along with his final breath.
Her last teardrop landed neatly on his cheek which was then mixed with rain water.
His green eyes no longer has the mischievous light glowing from within.
Her heart is no longer in one piece.
