Chapter 10: Ending
My eyes flutter, I could here water dripping, and I could tell I was in a dark place. Opening my eyes I quickly close them, then open them again. Sunlight shine through a hole in the rockie ceiling, but I was in the shade. Water drip down from the ceiling into a pool of water. I knew where I was.
"Allen." Neah said as he lean over me. I sat up blinking several times, opening and squeezing my hand repeatedly making sure I had full control of my body.
"How long has it been?" I asked looking towards Neah. He stood up and look down at his feet.
"To long for a humans." Neah said.
"Did you get what you wanted done?" I ask in a monotone.
"Yes, though I'm not going to leave this cave." Neah said and I nodded my head and stood up. "I never plan on leaving you know."
"I know." I said and my eyes began to burn.
"You know why it had to be you right." Neah laughed.
"Of course, my power is one of the easiest way to kill an immortals." I said simple and Neah nodded his head this time, and he smiled.
"We'll always be brothers." Neah said and my hand tore threw his skin and grab his heart. Neah fell to his knees as blood spit up from his lips. "Allen you'll be the last, so don't catch up to me so quickly." Neah said and I bit my lip as tears fell, and black matter spread threw his body. I could tell how painful it was from the look on his face. "Thank you. I love you Allen." Neah breath, and then he broke apart turning into a black dust.
I look at the hand that just kill my brother and probably all my other family to. It was the same hand that held the golden ring Lenalee gave me. I toke a deep breath in calming my in pain heart.
Turning around I left the empty cave that been Neah home for centuries. Turning back towards the cave I raise my hand, and the cave clasps in itself.
Feeling a cold presence, I close my eyes. "What do you want death."
"Nothing from you." Kanda growled. "Once you immortal died you leave nothing and become nothing, your just completely destroyed."
"Is that why your here, to lecture me on life and death." I said balling my fist tightly.
"No... That girl. is still alive." Kanda said and I lifted my head and he was gone.
Lenalee is alive. Can I believe it. I knew Kanda wasn't the type to lie, but I didn't want to get my hopes up.
Turning around I stood in front of the cherry blossom tree I've spent years with. It was dying once again, and I could tell it was almost done with it life. I reach to touch the tree, but stopped.
"Allen." I heard an old woman cried. Turning away from the tree I saw an old woman with long white hair, her frail finger holding a a bundle of white lily. "Allen." She repeated tears feeling her eyes.
I smiled and toke a step towards her. "It is me Lenalee." I said and the woman looked like she wanted to jump in my arms, but she held herself back, and my heart pained.
"I'm so happy your back Allen." She said tears falling from her eyes. "But I'm an old woman now and your still young." She said and I moved without thinking. Lifting her in my arms, I kissed her full on mouth. Softly at first but then harder until Lenalee couldn't take it anymore.
"Lenalee I'll love you forever. You are my wife, and you promise me you'd wait, and I promise to be with you, but don't think it a promise that keep me here Lenalee. So I beg don't push me away." I said and Lenalee wrap her arms around and cried and laugh all at the same time, while I held her closely.
Lenalee was 96 and live longer then most of the people younger then her. Everyone she knew was dead, but sometime Lavi grandchildren come to visit her. She would never have children now. She was very sickly, but even so went and visit the cherry tree like it was my grave every month.
Lenalee held my hand as she laid on her death bed. I look up a Kanda who was silently watching. I could say he was the reason why Lenalee stay alive so long even though the average age of death was 64, but I knew he wouldn't want that.
"Allen." She called. "Allen." She repeated and I smiled down at her.
"Yes." I said.
"Promise me that you'll live." She said holding my hand tighter. I had never thought about it, what I'll do once Lenalee was gone.
"I don't think I can."
"Please Allen, live. Promise me that you'll live." She said and I she wouldn't drop the topic until I promise. Stupid promises, I thought, and held up both Lenalee hands and kissed them.
"I promise I'll live a little longer."
"No, I want you to live until you stop naturally." Lenalee said.
"You want me to live until this world ends." I said bitting my lip, and Lenalee held my hand tighter.
"Yes." She said and tears fell from my eyes.
"Then it a promises then." I said, and Lenalee smiled and nodded her head. Then her eyes closed.
I stare up at death, and now Lenalee who stood beside him, and then they both disappear.
I sat in the room not moving even after Lenalee body was removed, but on the 4th day I stood and went to Lenalee funeral I had nothing to give like the other guess I only watched. Once it was done I walk up to the dying cherry blossom tree. I guess it wasn't so surprising since it was winter, but this would be its last, and it won't make it to spring. But even so it still had one seedling left ready to blossom.
"You want to live, even after all this time." I said, closing my eyes I touch the trees and a renewal of life pulse threw it.
...
789 years later
Taking my hand away from the tree I look up at the pink cherry blossoms, and put my hands in my pocket. "Sir, I got your coffee." My assistant Johnny said, and I turned to him and toke my coffee.
Taking a sip it was nowhere as good as Lenalee coffee. "Sir you have a meeting at 5." Johnny said checking his phone.
"Ummm... ." I said taking another sip of my coffee
"The car is already ready." Johnny said pointing behind him were the limousine satin waiting. I kind felt bad for Johnny he was a hard worker, did everything well, but had a lazy boss. At least he gets paid well.
"I want to walk." I said walking away from my cherry blossom tree, it was surrounded by the 3 large building I own. "Plus the meeting in 5 we have plenty of time, young people always rush threw life." I joke walking pass the limousine.
"But sir it already 4:23, and the meeting is 3 miles from here." He said I shrugged my shoulder and continue walking.
It was only 10 minutes into the walk the Johnny was huffing in puffing. Pausing I slow down to allow him to catch up. When someone crash into me, taking a step back I look down at the child wearing a middle school uniform.
"I'm sorry." she said looking up at me.
"Lenalee." I said and the child blushed.
"How did..."
"Lenalee!" A young Lavi called running towards her. Grabbing her hand he gave me a glare and ran away with Lenalee in tow.
Slapping my hand into my face I began laughing. "Sir are you ok." Johnny said and I laughed even harder earnings some stares from people on the street.
"Don't worry Johnny I'm more then fine." I said smiling and chugged down my coffee. " So fine I want you to give all my employees a 100 dollar rise including yourself for the rest of the year." I said and continue walking.
"Are you sure sir?" Johnny asked and I laughed.
