What?! Show Jasmine that I what? That I am not afraid? That I do not care whether I live or die?
Without any warning Jasmine jumped and landed just in front of him. She kicked and punched him, and he
was sent sprawling in the ground.
I cannot hurt her! I cannot! I MUST not!
Jasmine: You know you have no chance.
Lief looked up to her emotionless face. And as he looked deep into her eyes, he saw one thing that still
shines in its darkness.
Love.
Show Jasmine that you... that you... Love her! That's it!
Lief knew that the real Jasmine is still there, deep down inside. And she has one desperate hope of hearing him
say it.
Finally, Lief understood. If Jasmine knows that I care for her, she would fight the darkness within her!
She would have renewed hope! Lief smiled at what Jasmine would say when she hears of what she had done. She
would be filled with contempt and shame for herself...
Jasmine saw him smiling, and kicked him.
Jasmine: What are you smiling at?
Lief: You, my love.
Jasmine hesitated, as if fighting a feeling. And then...
Jasmine: As if! Stop being cheesy.
Lief: But my love...
Shadowlord: Finish him!!
Jasmine: Consider it done!
Lief: Jasmine, listen!
He stood up and caught Jasmine's hands just as fire shot out of her palms. She struggled with Lief, but
somehow Lief's grip was stronger.
Lief: Jasmine, you must listen...
Jasmine: Let me GO!
Lief: I want you to know that... ugh.
Lief fell forward to Jasmine's chest. Smoke was rising from his chest. Jasmine caught him and knelt down, Lief
in her arms, bewildered.
He was going to say it! I was going to hear what I have been waiting for!
Lief lay in her lap and struggled to breath. He put his hand to her cheeks and whispered:
~*~
Lief: Come what may...
I love you
Until my dying day......
~*~
His hand dropped. His head rolled to one side. He stopped breathing.
Jasmine screamed.
Jasmine: LIEF!! NO!!
Tears sprang from her eyes, clearing its blackness. Making it green once more. The mists around her faded away. She felt
alone. Miserable. Bewildered. All at once as she cried there.
Shadowlord: You should not have hesitated, you FOOL!
Jasmine stood up and faced him bravely. She looked to the statue not far from her. And then to Lief.
She whispered.
Jasmine: I loved him too. And I will avenge him. And for my friend here. Mesmeralde. I will MAKE YOU PAY!!!!!!!
She lunged forward to the Shadowlord in fury. Yes. She would make him pay.
For what he did to her.
For Mesmeralde, her friend.
And lastly, for Lief.
