Immortality and Buttercups [pt1]
His breathing was shaky. Tears threatening to spill as he stared at her. He put his face into her hair that was matted with the buttercups. His breath hilted as he held her close. Her heart... it's so weak. He let out a soft whimper as his hand moved to her cheek brushing the warm skin. The sunlight catching the bands on their fingers. Golden bands of marriage. She was blind, the flowers have consumed and grown all over her body. Killing her. He didn't mean for it to happen. He was so stupid to have brought her to that place. He thought it was safe but it wasn't. He was so stupid! He sho- "He-Hey come on. I'm still here." She told him weakly, her hand shakily moving to his and lacing their fingers together. He sniffled as his breathing hitched again. She could feel the wetness running down from her hair on to her face. He was shaking. He's scared... their both scared. This wasn't how this was meant to go. This wasn't how they planned it. They had it planned! They were going to find a nice place out in the country and raise their kids together. Grow old together well.... she would. He can't age. It's his curse. But this.... isn't no it's not how this was meant to go damn it! They tried. Nothing they did worked. Powerless to stop the flowers from consuming her. Feeding and stealing her magic away. Stealing her warmth away, stealing her away from him.
He held her hand as he lay there with her in their bed. He failed... he failed her brother, he failed the spirits, he failed their children and he failed her. He was here to protect her. Yet here he is powerless to stop the buttercups from growing on her body. The gentle sound of her heart was slowing down, getting weaker and weaker until it stopped. He moved away from her head when he felt her go limp. He put his head to her chest. No pulse. He put her on the bed and began to do CPR. "Don't you dare leave me! Please don't leave me!" He told her trying to get her heart to restart trying to get her to come back.
It's not working.
He let out a strangled cry as he held her. His face in her neck as he sobbed. She was gone. "Please! Please don't leave me! Ste-Stephanie! Please! Ple-Please don't leave me!" He sobbed trying to some how get her to come back. The pain in his chest bloomed and expanded as he sobbed into her chest. His pain echoing though his soul and cracking. He clung to her lifeless body sobbing out his grief. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up from her and stared into the face of her brother. He was crying to. He must of come to say good-bye but he came to late. He sat down with him gathering his brother-in-law into his arms and hugging him tightly. The two clung to one another crying.
