Never Say Goodbye
Author's Note- Hello! This is a fanfic written by my sister and me. She tried getting her own account, but gave up. From now on we'll either be writing stuff together, or we'll let you know which one is by who. Mint and Ruenis' Point of View is done by me. She did Maya and Rue's Point of View. This is probably the longest fanfic we've made! Please read and review! The first chapter is Mint's PoV. If you like it, we will post Rue's PoV soon ^^.
~*Mint's Point of View*~
I smiled briefly as I clutched Rue's hand tighter. I didn't want to admit it, but I was in love with Rue, even if I knew he loved Claire. Still, a part of me told myself to never give up.
"Mint?" I looked up to see the concerned eyes of Rue.
"Hai? What is it now?!" I snapped. The only reason I was rude to him was to not let him know I liked him. It was a cover up. So was my cheerful-ness. Most of the time I acted happy to fool people.
"Nothing. you just grabbed my hand suddenly and then you spaced out. I-I was just a little worried."
Damn him.
"I'm fine. why do you care?" I asked softly. He turned to me, a light blush on his face.
"Well, you're my friend. I worry about you just like I worry about Claire and Ruenis."
Claire.
Damn her too.
Damn her and him both!
Why did it have to be Claire?
"Mint.? MINT! Look out!" I turned around just as something grazed my side.
Pain.
It hurt pretty badly as it tore through my skin. I would not cry out though, I would not cry out in pain.
Not in front of Rue.
I felt something rushing out of my body.
Blood?
I reached down. Sure enough red liquid was oozing out of my side. I winced. I will not cry out, I thought to myself.
"Mint!!!" a fight, I head Rue fighting something.
More blood.
Everywhere there was blood.
Blood and pain.
It was almost as painful to me as when I saw Rue and Claire hugging back in Carona two years ago. That was mental pain and this is physical pain.
My strawberry hair fell over my shoulders as my body fell limply to the ground.
The pain soared through me like a knife cutting a piece of bread.
It hurt.
It hurt badly.
The fight was over.
I couldn't hear any more noises, except someone calling my name. It was very faint and far away though. I was surrounded in darkness. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move, I couldn't speak. It pained me mentally now. I was frustrated at how I could only hear.
Damnit!
"Mint.? Mint, wake up!" more voices. I could hear more voices this time. Slowly, my emerald eyes opened to see Klaus, Prima, Elena, Mira, and Rue.
Rue.
I wanted to reach out and hug him, to tell him how I felt, but I couldn't move yet.
It still hurt.
It still hurt badly.
"Mint? You okay?" the soothing voice of the man I was in love with broke my thoughts. I smiled weakly up at him.
"I'm. fine." I managed weakly. Rue reached out and embraced me. I could feel the blood rushing to my face. But, he pulled apart, slightly blushing.
Wait. why was he blushing?
Why would he blush when he loves Claire?
Damnit!
Claire. I hate her so much!
She gets Rue. and what do I get?
"I'm so glad to see you up Mint!" Elena sang out happily. I winced subconsciously.
Elena could be.
So damn annoying at times!
"I'm sure Mint would like some time alone. Why don't we all come back later?" Mira suggested. I sent her a 'Thank You' look. She smiled as she ushered everyone out. Rue stayed behind for a moment. I smiled at him and told him he could come back later. He frowned in worry as he left. I laid back on my pillows.
I'm dying.
I'm going to die.
And Claire will always have Rue.
If I'm going to die, I will not ruin it for them!
But. should I tell them I'm dying?
No. I shouldn't.
It is best that they don't know everything.
"Mel!" I yelled. It was strange; I didn't seem to be dying. A week had past and I was perfectly fine. Maybe I wasn't going to die after all. I smiled as I glanced at Rue. As soon as I turned my head, he turned his.
Was he. staring at me?
Why would he stare at me?
Wait. he is just worried
I shouldn't get my hopes to high
"Ah, Mint, Rue! So glad to see you. Please do come in!" Mel said as we walked in. "Hey Mel, a week ago Mint was attack by some sort of monster. She was hurt badly, but now she has recovered perfectly. I have never seen a monster like that one before. Do you have any ideas what it could be?" Rue asked. Mel shook her head.
"No, but go ask the Poppul Purrels. They know many things, they just don't show it. Mint, please stay here. I sense you have a question for me." I nodded as Rue looked at me curiously. I smiled and assured him for the fifth time that day everything was alright. Slowly, he left. I turned to Mel.
This was it.
I had to know if I would live or die!
"Mel, that monster. it attacked me. I felt all weird and strange. There was so much pain and blood. But. when I awoke, I knew something. I knew I was going to die. Slowly, I got better instead of worse. I don't know anymore. Mel, am I going to live, or die?" Mel stared at me before smiling.
"Mint, you know the answer to that."
Was she telling me I was going to die?
Or, that I knew I was going to live?
"I can tell you are unsure of my answer. I cannot tell you that you will live, but I cannot tell you that you will die. I do not know the answer. I'm sorry Mint." I stomped my foot before I ran out of there angrily.
I was mad.
Oh boy, was I mad!
What type of answer was that?!
I don't know!!!
Damnit all!
I stopped running when I was back in Carona.
Only time will tell.
Of that, I'm sure of.
A month past. I was getting stronger. That is when it hit me. I was getting stronger on the outside, but inside I was getting weaker.
I was dying inside out.
I was going to die soon.
And. Rue will never know I love him!
What can I do?
If I die, I don't want him to feel guilty.
He has been by my side through this all.
Slowly, I began to get weaker on the outside too.
I knew I had little time left.
I had to tell him!
"Rue." I whispered, but stopped.
No.
I would wait.
I would wait till the day I died.
He didn't love me back.
Rue loved Claire and Claire loved Rue.
I. I was meant to be myself.
And not with anyone else.
But. that as slowly killing me too.
Another month past. I was getting stronger again. What the heck?!
I was stronger.
Was I going to die or live?
That was driving me crazy!
That is when it hit me.
That night, I got very bad.
So bad I almost died.
I smiled trying to ignore the pain. Klaus, Prima, Mira, and Elena had gone to get a [relic] in the Western Desert. Claire and Ruenis went home. Maya went with Ruenis and Claire.
Damn sister.
She choose Ruenis over me.
But then again, I chose Rue over my whole kingdom!
Father gave me a choice.
I could become Queen of East Heaven, or come back here to Carona.
I came back here.
All because I was in love with a Doll of Valen.
Heh, it is funny though.
Maya chose the same thing as I did.
Except, she is in love with another Doll of Valen.
It was time.
I was going to die that night.
I could feel it.
Slowly, I walked out of my room to the door and down to the fountain. I saw Rue; he was sitting there with a sad look on his face. I sat by him and smiled.
"Mint? You should be in bed!" I shook my head and gently held his hand in my hand.
His hands.
Were so very warm.
"Rue. I need to t-tell you something." I whispered.
This was it.
I had to tell him.
It was now or never.
And I chose now.
"Rue. I'm dying. I've been dying for a while now. Ever since that attack, I knew I was going to die." I paused. He looked at me shock and I saw a few tears in his caring eyes.
Wait. tears?
"Rue. before I die, I just want to tell you one thing." my breath was getting weaker. I felt the whole world starting to spin. Slowly, it was growing black.
No!
Not yet!
Please, just let me tell him!
I took in one last breath as my eyes closed. I fell backwards, but Rue caught me. Slowly I opened my eyes and caressed his cheek. Tears were pouring out of his eyes.
"Mint!!!" he nearly screamed. I placed a finger on his lips and smiled for the last time.
"Ashiteru. Rue-kun." I whispered before my whole body just. shut down.
I was floating.
The whole place was black.
Black as death.
I was scared, no, I was terrified.
Was I dead?
I was wearing a white dress that flowed to my thighs. My hair was down and pair of white angel wings were on my back.
Crying.
I was crying a lot.
Pain.
I felt the pain of losing something you love. Rue. Ashiteru.
"Mint!!!" a cry broke through the darkness.
"Ashiteru. Mint-chan." I froze in place.
W-What?!
Rue loved me too?!?!
Damn them all to hell!
I was even more mad now.
He loved me back, and I waited till I was almost dead to tell him?!
HELL NO!!!
I was NOT going to stay dead now!
I balled my fist up and screamed angrily.
Slowly, my world turned to white and a light appeared in front of me. I heard voices telling me to go towards the light. I saw another light. It was a pink color. I grinned.
"Sorry, heaven isn't ready for me yet! Not till Rue-kun and I get there together!" I yelled and stuck my tongue out.
This was giving me a headache.
I just wanted to get back and hug Rue.
I just wanted to be held by him and smile, knowing someone loved me!
Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw Rue crying softly with his eyes closed. I smirked.
"You know what, big boys aren't supposed to cry Rue-kun." I smiled. Rue looked at me shocked for a moment. Then, he hugged me tightly; tears of happiness streaming down his face.
"Mint-chan! You're alive! But. how?" I smirked again.
"Rue-kun. did I ever say goodbye?" he blinked at me. I leaned up and kissed him on the lips, a light blush on my face.
"Rue-kun, promise me this."
"Anything Mint-chan."
"Never say goodbye."
"I promise." I smiled as I hugged him closer, my own tears falling from my eyes. I smiled when I saw Fancy Mel.
"I told you. you knew the answer all along." She whispered.
"Thanks Mel." I mouth as I sealed my and Rue's promise with another passionate kiss. Sometimes life can be very harsh and cruel.
But sometimes it has to play with your life.
Just to get things out right!
