Chapter one:
Why?
Ulrich POV
I looked out of the window. Raindrops fell as fast as my tears. She had died, nothing could save her now. I fought back the tears, but failed to stop the salty river from flowing down. I cared too much for her to let go. As I climbed onto the bed, my mind went back to that universal question…why?
Flash back
"Yumi!" I shouted out as the man held her. "No!'
"Ulrich! Help me!" she cried helplessly.
I ran towards her, in a desperate attempt to rescue her from that man. The man took out a gun from his sleeves and said a cold, expressionless voice:
"stop right there," he said "or do you want her to die?"
I should have stopped, but my instincts just carried me on, in a failed attempt to rescue her. Then, a gunshot.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO" I shouted into the wind "YUMI!"
The man had disappeared. I went over to Yumi. I held her close to me.
"I love you Ulrich" she managed to cough out, all the life drained out"
"I know," I said "and I do, too" and with that, she breathed her last, and lay peacefully there, with a smile on her face.
"Yumi?" she didn't answer. "Yumi! Don't leave me! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
End Flash Back
I lay on my bed, I couldn't sleep, just thinking of her made me cry.
Normal POV
Ulrich lay on his back, and after hours of restlessness, he fell asleep, with his love haunting his dreams.
