Mick's POV
With a grim look on my face I turned around to look once more towards the place I had to leave behind. It used to held my love and my best friend, but no more. Now I had no choice but to leave this part of me behind forever. While all of my heart and body screamed at me to not make a mistake that could ruin my whole life, my mind and conscious told me I had no other choice but this one.
Closing his eyes, I swallowed deeply, fighting against the tears that were to betray me. I had never wanted this to happen, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Another moment passed by before I finally took off, using my vampire skills to run at a speed no one else would ever be able to achieve. Was it worth it to leave the ones we loved behind, giving them the peace they always longed for?
I wasn't sure and neither was I willing to find out about it. It would be for the best and maybe one day, one day I could find the strength within me to leave Coraline forever and once more turn towards my eternal love, Josef.
Once I hated myself for living, or as far as this life could be called living as I was no human being anymore, but Josef showed me there was more to life than what I wanted to see at that moment. He was the one that kept me from killing myself all those years ago, he was the one that kept me going on these days. I did not know what I would do if I would lose him forever, I still don't. Look at me now, cutting myself off from him to never see him again.
I had not realized before, but the only reason why I stayed with Coraline and did not leave her was my oath to her. I promised to take care of her in wealth and troubled times, till death would do us part. Some part of me still cared for her and wanted to be around her, but the torture and pain she caused me were more than enough to wish to be able to flee from her.
Torn between honor and the true love of my life, I prayed for both, but was denied it. I could never be with Josef, but neither did I want to stay with Coraline. My world seemed to fall apart, shattered into a million pieces and unable to be put together again.
So many of my dreams were broken and shattered, and so much I cared about had been sacrificed. Was it still worth it to stay loyal to my morals and oaths even if it meant to leave that which I loved most in the entire world?
I had been wondering about that for many years and still had not seemed to find an answer to them. All I knew was that one day I would be able to break my bonds with Coraline and become happy together with Josef. I was not sure if that could ever happen, but as long as I had those hopes nothing could bring me down. Not even my own sire would be able to, no matter how hard she tried. Unless she killed Josef and made those hopes impossible to become true, but that was something no one yet achieved nor would ever be able to achieve at all.
Josef... I thought and felt my heart break. One day, one day…
