Even though it happened a year ago, I still remember it as though it
were yesterday. Oddly enough, I still blame myself for it.
We were walking through the park before the sun came up. You said something funny about Bombalurina and we both started laughing; just then, a gust of wind made me shiver. You held me close to you and I buried my face into your fur, never wanting that moment to end. Unfortunately, that was the last time I would ever be held by you, or the last tiem I would hear your laugh. If only I knew what was about to happen, if only I could've said goodbye one last time...
Out of nowhere, three pollicles appeared in front of us. When two tried to go after me, you attacked them. Seeing this, the third on went to help his friends. I stood therem watching in horror, not being able to bring myself to help you. I knew I could, and yet, something wouldn't let me. I was frozen to the spot, watching you sacrifice your life to save mine. You put up a good fight, beating the pollicles and winning the battle. But sadly, the war was lost.
Running over to your bloody body, I could tell that you would die in a matter of minutes. I held your now limp frame and cried, my tars spilling on to your now blood-stained fur.
"Don't leave me!" I cried. You just looked at me and smiled weakly.
"It will be ok, everyone has to sometime. The Everlasting Cat wants me up there." As you said that, your eyes looked towards Heaviside.
"Ut why? What have you done?" I felt your blood flow slower now, and your body was weaker. I knew what was coming.
"I have made my mark in the world, and don't cry over me." You reached up and wiped away some of my tears with a smile on your face. "And remember this: I will always be with you." Your last words tore my heart apart. With your last breath, you managed to say "I love you", before falling lifeless in my arms.
When I think about it now, the pain is still as bad as it was on that day. And it amazes me at how well you embraced your own fate.
I hear someone behind me and turn around to see Munkustrap looking at me with a tear-stained face. "We all share pain. Come on, lets go home."
"In a second," I tell him. I walk up to your grave and place a single red rose on it...Roses were always your favourite.
Munkustrap is ready to leave, I should go too. I look back one last time before going and whisper, "I love you, Tugger. And don't worry, I'll be back."
Now, as I leave, I swear I can hear you whisper, "I love you too, Misto."
