Holding On…

Written By AverageFantasyWriter

…This was hell.

I'm lay watching…the hell that's happening before me… They didn't bother with me because I no longer had the strength to fight on…Not even enough strength to shout back in anger….

I'm looking to my side…while being pulled by the massive hands of a demon… It had a tight grip on my head, barely enough room for my eyes to see the chaos all around me…

…It's truly a shame that I wasn't killed so easily…

…My eyesight is getting blurry. …That's weird, I'm not even sleepy.

…I don't feel the pain…from the grip of the demons hand or the rough roads that i'm being dragged on…

It doesn't hurt…nor is it painful…

"Elsword! Get up! Come on! Someone open this gate! Please I need to help him!"

…Was that Aisha...? Ahh Aisha…Didn't I tell you not to push yourself…I chuckled catching the anger of the demons…..

Thump…..a fist hit the back of my head…..

Ha ha….I honestly can't feel it…..But I do feel the blood slowly making its way down the side of my forehead.

…One by one the demons took turns hitting me… I wonder….why keep dragging me on…if you just keep on swinging at me…

…Ahh I'm getting really sleepy…

…I'm sorry Aisha…I;m sorry I didn't keep my promise…

"…Hmm so this is the boy who caused us so many problems."

"?"

I looked up in the direction of the voice….all I could see was red and the outline of a female elf….

"Oh you still alive boy?"

"Hmph….I've never been easy to kill…."

"Also cocky…well I'll be sure to end that today!"

"How so-? Gwah!?"

"…Haha yes that's right feel the pain!"

My legs were starting to burn with pain…the pain surging through me was unbearable…

Huh…? My sight…goes to the side…and then up…

…Did the demon let me go…? No, I can't even tell anymore…

"Boy look at me when I kill you."

…I was yanked by the hair to face my death in the face.…

…I can saw…A pair of violet eyes staring directly at me…Chloe huh…i

"Heee! Elsword!" I could hear Aisha's sobbing get farther and farther away…..

"Raven!? S-Stop let me go!...L-...go!..." then it disappeared….

…Seems they got away…

…I closed my eyes slowly…I began to remember back to the day I first met Aisha…

…How annoying she was…How much we fought…How much I hated not being able to match her in battle…How her smile pissed me off to no end…Then before I knew it, I yearned to see her smile…

…I yearned…to stay by her side…even when she pushed me away countless times….I prayed that no matter what happens….every time I looked to my right I would hope she would be there…

"Ma'am...We should finish the boy . —He's at his limits."

I chuckled at the demons comment slowly opening my eyes….

"Heh….got tired of smacking me around?...Seems demons aren't so- Puah!..."

Another punch was sent at my face as chloe pulled my hair up to face him….

"Shut your trap boy. Hold him."

I was passed over to the demon that dragged me…..

…I looked up at the sky…I looked at the stars….thinking about how my future could have been…..With my friends….Rena...Raven….Chung...Eve...Ara…their faces flashed before my eyes just standing there smiling at me and…. Aisha….

[Elsword…] She was reaching out…..everyone was waiting for me…..

My vision began to blur with hot tears….huh?...am I crying….

"Ha ha...I-I…" A sadness started to well up inside me and I slowly began to break down….

"N-no...I can't….not here…"

*sniff* I tried to struggle but the strength in my body was already depleted….

"You've lost boy." Chloe slowly raised her sword above her head…..

No...No!...I want to live…..! I must make it!….there waiting for me…..

"Aisha…Hold on…I'm….*flop*"

I tried to reach out for her hand…..

I'm coming…home...
