White and Red
Prologue
Blood, blood and even more of it. I needed to find a way to stop the bleeding, save my body from fully collapsing- but I couldn't. I watched as the walls around me started to swirl; my vision starting to fail on me. I had so much left to do, I can't just go…
My heart started to race and swell from the pain welling up inside of me. I need to move on or something will- something is happening. I grabbed my side weakly, hoping that maybe, just maybe, the span of my hand would help stop the bleeding. I could feel the warmth of my own substance against the palm of my hand, it felt great but at the same time agonizingly painful.
Tears started to fall from my eyes; it was probably because of the pain, or maybe it could be because of what he did to me. Axel, you made a huge mistake messing around with me.
My breathing quickened in pace, and so did my footsteps. I trailed beside the building's ominous shadows, anchoring myself on the ground with the help of my left hand tracing along the brick walls. I just needed to catch up and I know that I'll be fine- who am I kidding, death was near. I can feel him breathing down my neck.
Rain started to pour over the cold city, thunder and lightning flashing into the scene now and then. I didn't want to believe that I lost to him, I still have so many things to finish, and he still had so much to pay for.
My knees started to quiver from the weight of my body, am I giving up? I started to question my mind, as if it could communicate with me independently. My legs were…bloodied- is that how I say it without putting in too much detail?
I whimpered unbeknownst to my consciousness, my limbs were a sorry excuse of a bunch of body parts; completely filled with gashes and fresh bruises, my legs could no longer balance the weight I was giving it. It looked too shabby, slash marks and all that crap. It was bleeding nonstop, then again, so were the rest of me.
I crashed too soon, the asphalt having a tinge of red circulating around the puddles of rain water. Stupid body, couldn't even take a few hits! What is this? a curse? How useless was I. I laughed at the irony of my situation.
"I..I…" I punched the wall beside me, my hand completely numb from everything that's been done to my body, whether it bleeds or not really wouldn't matter to me anymore. I stared up at the glaring dark skies, probably writing down my horrible fate.
"AXEL!" My hand forming into a fist "YOU BETTER RUN AND HIDE!" The burning sensation in my throat increased in intensity, yet I cringed no longer from the pain.
"CAUSE YOU KNOW WHY?!" I continued my wails into the night sky, bits of tears falling from my face, yet careful enough were my shouts to prevent them from showing through. "I..." I gritted my teeth and bit my cheek as a last resort to prevent myself from saying the words- but then
"I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!"
because you know you deserve it.
