I don't know what I was thinking. After I had buried the little girl in Duo's garden I wasn't thinking all that rationally. I just thought that I should bring Duo to a place he'd be a peace…
I knew that he went down to the lake shore every so often, maybe he swam across to the opposite shore, but I wouldn't know.
Duo had never said I couldn't go with him, but I had always had a strong feeling that it was his place to be alone, just him and his thoughts and the lake.
I knew the way, though. As a genially lifted a profusely bleeding Duo from the floor, that was my destination.
I walked surprisingly steady, considering that Duo, the only the only thing I'd ever asked for…the only thing I truly ever loved, was dieing in my arms.
The forest was subtle shades of dark greens, blacks and browns. The floor of the forest was covered with moss, quieting my footsteps. The massive trees like were towering guardians, watching over us.
____________________________
Duo's bleeding had slowed to a slow oozing trickle and I noticed he was not breathing , nor did he have a pulse –which I judged from the feel of him in my arm. Duo was dead….he was dead…dead…
When I reached the shore, there was a rise in the land, a mound of earth, covered in lush moss and grass. There was a flattened area, as if someone had sat there (probably Duo). Then the grass disappeared, replaced by rock, which sloped down to the water's edge.
I gently lay Duo down on the plant-covered earth mound. I crossed his arms over his chest. I could not help but notice the grimace of pain on his face…to leave this world in such a violent was…and I couldn't stop it….I'd failed! Failed!!!
I stared at the angelic face that used to light up my world when it smiled…not that fake smile, but a real one…used to, yeah, used to. The small logical part brain that was still functioning informed me that I should burry Duo, but I hadn't brought a shovel with me…At least this way I could go back to our…my…home and attempt to sort out my emotions…Yes, it's a problem I have, something Duo was helping me through…but now…well, I'd have to sort them out on my own. But these weren't like any emotions I'd had before. These were painful, awful ones, like nothing words can describe…I had to have time to calm down, time to deal with this and let them out , time to curl up and cry and never stop!
I threw one last glance at Duo, my love, no, what used to be Duo, it was just a shell now. Then I headed back home.

I typed this quickly and in a hurry so if you see any mistakes please tell!
