Author's Note: This is my first fanfic in English. I usually write in German, so please be kind! ;) Please review!
With eyes like the devil
himself she looked at him. A sinister smile on her face as she
watched him fighting his way to her. He held his hand in front of his
face, tried to keep his weight to the front, since her attacks could
easily pull him off of his feet. With heavy steps he came closer and
closer, his eyes never leaving hers. Her attacks ripped the skin off
his bones. He couldn't even realize how fast this happened and how
fast his skin was renewed again. He didn't realize the immense pain
which jolted through his entire body, feeling like being ripped
apart.
Finally, appearing to him like an eternity, he reached her.
Looking directly into those predator eyes, he knew there was no
choice left. He knew that this was what she's asked from him
before. With his hazel eyes on her, he brought his fist closer to her
heart. There was no time left for any big words. He could feel the
world falling apart and he was the last instance to defend it.
Her
face changed for a short moment. Begging again to do what was
necessary. One last time he swallowed and told her what she already
knew. "I love you…"
He felt his fist slamming against her
body, saw her eyes widen in shock, while a silent scream left her
mouth. Within less than a second her face changed and she collapsed
with a peaceful smile on her face. It was then that the pain hit him
full frontal. His body quitting its service, he fell to the ground,
holding her tight and venting his pain to the world. He didn't even
realize how everything went back to normal, didn't see the others
getting closer to him. He only had eyes for her and her limp body in
his arms.
A hand touched his shoulder, trying to get his
attention. When he didn't react the hand began to shake him.
Finally, he looked up. The person in front of him said something, but
neither could he discern who it was, nor did he understand what was
said…
Someone pulled him up and dragged him away, while another
person tried to get her out of his hands. Immediately he clenched his
fist causing his claws to pop out. The person stopped its
intention.
Tired as he was, he let them pull him away and the only
thing he could think about was his failure: The promise he once made
and couldn't keep…again…
