bDeath by Parts/b

Labored breathing echoes through the house, reminding him once more that his love, his Bella, is knocking on death's door. The Grim Reaper creeps around her, his sythe poised, ready to take her with him, and he is not strong enough to stop it. Weak, powerless, and unable to do what needs doing and end the twisted sprial of decay and death by parts that is taking place inside of her. What is worse, what eats at his own insides, is that he is to blame for this. His seed, his demon, his evil spread to her and created that which is taking away his only reason for living.

If only sleep were allowed him so that he might take a reprieve from this living nightmare that is being played out before him. But he cannot, and would not leave her side even if it were possible. Eyes closed, he holds her hand, desperate to feel the warmth that had, at one time, coursed through her and fed him. It is fleeting and all too soon she shivers and gently pulls her hand away, an apologetic smile on her face.

"Bella," he whispers, his eyes down, unable to look into her eyes. They are blood-shot now, the eyes that see death. The eyes that see more than they should.

"It's okay," she says, her shaking hand coming up to cradle his face. Coddling him, reassuring him that she loves him and doesn't hate him.

She should hate him though, more than he hates himself. She should curse his exsistance, rant and rave at him for ever idaring/i to come into her life. However, she never will. His Bella - his beautiful wraith of a wife.
