Til Death Do Us Part
The warm scarlet blood ran from my wounds, as I stared blankly at the silent figure beside me. I reached out a shaky hand to touch her's, only to feel her retaliate, making me feel slightly angered...but here..dying with her, I knew I couldn't do that. Her eyes were narrow slits, her glasses taken by her attacker, my friend, my best friend, Gamzee. Our murderer to be. I knew it wasn't his fault but I can't help but blame him. My nails scratch out the ground below and I can tell Terezi is worried when she slightly widens her eyes. She shouldn't be straining herself. I stop, reaching out a hand in another attempt to touch her soft skin before I die, before she dies. It's still warm and I can't help but grip her hand tightly. I grit my teeth, my eyes fixating on her's as she gives a soft whimper. I give a sigh, pulling her closer.
Her ginger bangs brush against my bleeding forehead as I breath in her cherry-smelling scent. She had put on my favorite perfume today- the cherry kind. I let a small smile trace over my face, though I knew this was no time to be legitimately happy. I gently comb my fingers through her hair, her soft whimpering pressed into my chest. Why was this happening? What did we do to deserve this? I buried my face into her head, holding back the tears that threatened to stream down my cheeks. I knew she could feel my heart racing in my chest and my fingernails slightly digging into her back. I was right. She shifted her body so my nails could no longer dig into her shirt. She looked up with me with wide, blue eyes in concern. Damn, those blue eyes always seemed to just go straight to you're soul. The blind girl blinked slowly before placing her lips on mine which surprised me, however this was enough to trigger the tears that now slid down my face.
As our chapped lips parted, I pressed my head against her forehead, tears streaming down my face, "Why now?" I whispered. Terezi placed a hand on my cheek, my green eyes flickering open, "It's okay Karkles," she gave a smile, "At least we're together..." her eyes began to close, "Like they say..'Til death do us..part.." her voice trailed off as she closed her eyes gently and remained curled in my arms, her body going cold, "Terezi?" I called, my eyes searching for any sign of life, "Terezi!?" I called again, this time shaking her vigerously, "Terezi!" I screamed this time, tears streaming from my eyes, "No! Oh God no, please don't be..don't be dead!" I pleaded with her motionless body, pressing my lips against her's repeatedly. I felt my heart ache and my stomach churn as the same effects soon took a hold of me, my eyes slowly closing as I drifted away..
