Frozen Hearts - Part one
Arthur had been searching the forest for hours looking for Alfred, His thick green coat was soaked from the rain and mud completely covered his boots. He was starting to get worried; it wasn't like Alfred to keep him waiting for so long. Arthur looked around the path that had a large drop off and there in the lamplight he spotted a pair of glasses on the edge of the rocky drop off.
"Oh god no." He whispered as he ran toward the edge, He looked down in the ravine and saw his little brother twisted in an unnatural position at the bottom.
"Alfred!" he shouted as he slid down the embankment only stumbling once when he reached the bottom. He hunched down beside him and listened for a heartbeat, it was faint but it was still there.
"Francis, go get a doctor!" he shouted. Arthur heard a distant shout and he watched as the lantern disappeared up the path. Leaving him in complete darkness. He pulled off his cloak and placed it over his brother in an attempt to keep him warm.
"Alfred please wake up, don't die on me." He said as he grabbed his younger brother's hand and gripped it tightly. The rain had made Alfred's skin ice cold. Arthur gasped when he felt the hand he was holding squeeze back for a moment. Arthur gazed down into the brilliant sky blue eyes that stared dully at the dark sky above him.
"Arthur?" he whispered.
"Don't talk Alfred!" Arthur cried as he gripped Alfred's hand tighter.
"Hurts…" he grunted. Arthur felt the tears roll down his face and he didn't bother to hide them. He never could hide his emotions from Alfred. Even when he was a toddler, he could always tell what he was feeling.
"Alfred please hang in there, everything's going to be alright." Alfred shifted his head and smiled at Arthur.
"Now that you're here, I can die in peace." Arthur's tears slid down his face as he fought back a sob.
"No you can't leave me alone." Alfred tried to laugh but ended up gasping in pain instead.
"You're really selfish you know that?" Arthur felt Alfred's hand slide out of his grip and settle on his cheek.
"But I'm selfish too; I'm glad that you're the last person I get to see before I die." Arthur started to sob uncontrollably and he let his tears fall freely. He placed both his hands over Alfred's and leaned into the touch.
"No you can't die. Do not leave me here all alone. " Alfred's breathing was getting shallower and the light was slowly leaving his eyes.
"You used to be so big." He said with a laugh as his eyes closed and his hand slipped out of Arthurs grip.
His hand landed with a spat on the ground and Arthur stared at the limp appendage in shock. Then he heard a cry so gut wrenching it didn't sound human, after a few moments he realized that it was he who had made that noise. He lost all will to move and slumped down on top of Alfred's body. He didn't care if he lived or died now. Without Alfred, life was nothing, Arthur nestled into Alfred's neck memorizing how he smelled one last time. He lay there against his brother he finally let loose every emotion that was bottled up inside of him and he wailed.
His sobs continued on and on until he finally stopped, he had made his decision, he would follow Alfred into the sweet hands of death. He pulled out a gun that he kept at his hip and aimed it at his head. Tears streamed down his face as he looked down at the man who had become the most important thing to him in the world. They shared no blood relation yet Alfred had been a brother to him and so much more. His fingers pulled at the trigger but his hand froze when he heard chuckling coming from a nearby tree.
"Most don't come willingly into my arms, but you are really eager to Da?" Arthur watched as a man twice his size appeared in front of him laughing. Arthur dropped the gun in shock.
"Who are you?" he asked the man just smiled a fake smile and looked over to Alfred.
"He is special to you da? So much so that you'd choose to commit suicide for, one of gods greatest sins." Arthur watched as he man leaned down and bushed his fingers over Alfred's corn locks
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!" Arthur screamed and scrambled forward slapping his hands away before burying his face into Alfred's chest.
"You two were lovers too, you fell in love with your younger brother the child that you raised as your own. " He laughed as he looked down at Arthur as he pitifully held onto Alfred.
"Leave me to die in peace!" Arthur shouted as he looked up at the man before him and watched as his smile became much more menacing.
"You can't die yet." He laughed. He dug inside of his scarf and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Not Until I mark out your name on this list." He shoved the parchment into Arthur's face and he saw his name written in gold next to Alfred's, which had been marked out with blood red ink. Arthur glared into the violet eyes of the Stanger, he was smiling as if this was all a game to him. Arthur wasn't going to be played with anymore.
Arthur slapped the page away , grabbed his gun, aimed it at his head and pulled the trigger. A deafening boom echoed through the valley and moments later, the gun dropped to the ground with a clatter. The stranger laughed as Arthur sat with a stunned look on his face. He had shot himself, he knew that he did, he had felt the bullet enter his skull. Why wasn't he dead yet? Arthur raised a shaking hand to the spot where the bullet had entered and he felt blood bubbling up from the wound. Then he felt unbelievable pain as his cells started to knit themselves together pushing the bullet out of the hole in his head. It took only a minute before the bullet fell to the ground.
"What did I tell you?" The stranger laughed. When Arthur was able to speak again he turned to glare at the man.
"I will repeat myself once more. Who are you?" The man raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't that obvious? I am death." Arthur stared at the man in front of him and started to tremble.
"Why can't I die?" Death kneeled in front of Arthur.
"I have made you one of the undying. You can shoot yourself all you like you're not going to die any time soon." Arthur grabbed his gun from the ground and aimed it at Death.
"You bastard!" he yelled before firing a bullet right into the middle of his chest. Death looked down at the smokeing hole in his coat and started to snicker.
"You honestly think you can kill me? Death…Your welcome to try comrade but that was my favorite coat you just put a hole in." He smiled at the broken expression on Arthurs face.
"Don't ever forget this night, engrave it into your heart and mind and carry it with you for however long you shall live. When you find a reason to live again is when you shall regain your humanity." Death said before turning around and walking off into the mist. Arthur sat in the mud for a moment shaken. It all slowly seeped into his skull like winter chill to bones, He could not die no matter how much he wished for it, death had cursed him with eternal life. He could not die until he had something to live for again. Something to live for?
It would take him at least three hundred years to find it.
