i scream as an arrow peirces my right wing.
he looks back at me.
hold on, were almost safe.
d-dark... i'm sorry... i say falling as another arrow is burried in my chest.
NO! he yells diving for me.
he catches me before i hit the trees.
hold on, i'm going to fly us down and we'll be safe.
no... leave me... i'll only slow you down...
never... i would never leave you behind. he replies.
he lands in a small clearing, flodded in the silvery blue of the moonlight.
he kneels down and gently holds me close.
please... don't go. he whispers.
i look up at him, i can feel my heartbeat slowly fading... i wonder... can he feel it to?
i'm not afraid... but i feel bad... i feel guilty... but... why? is it because i feel like this
is all my fault? because i know that i may cause him pain beyond anyone's
understanding? i look into his amethist eyes and see tears rolling down his cheeks.
he moves his hand and quickly wipes them away, leaving a trail of scarlet blood along
where he brushed his fingers.
please... stay with me... he begs.
i reach behind me and pull a feather from my wing. it's blood stained... from my
right wing.
i take his hand and place my feather in it.
please... i want you to remember me... but not like this... i whisper.
what are you talking about?
i try to get to my knees, once there, i look at him, tears streaming down my face.
what are you doing? you're to hurt! he says comming to help me.
stop. i say raising my hand.
he obeys. what...?
i have to do this... i reply.
i spread my wings, ignoring the unberable pain tunning thrugh my chest and right wing.
i close my eyes for a moment, trying to block it out.
after a breif moment, i open them again.
i dont have mutch time... i know that... i can feel my heart beat... it's so slow... i feel dizzy...
i see the dark... but yet... i still see him as clear as day...
i'm not afraid... i'm sorry... i say.
what are you...
i'm sorry... i never ment to cause you pain... i never meant for this to happen... i just... i wanted
to be with you... i'm so sorry...
i spread my wings to their full length and feel the moonlight washing over me. i look at him, my vision
clouded.
this is how i want you to remember me. i say.
i then feel everything slow... almost to a stop... i fall back and land in his arms...
i see his face... his amethist eyes... everything is fading... to...black...
