Suddenly, I came back to life.
After all these months spent as a spectator, looking her suppressing my emotions, appropriating my memories, and taking control of my life, I was finally coming back to life. It was as if I finally caught my breath after have had my head under the water.
She wanted to kill him. Jared. My Jared.
Since when haven't I seen him? Ha had lost weight but he had not change so much. He was still beautiful. His perfect features. His grey gaze as piercing as a knife's blade. There was still his little wrinkles at the coner of his eyes. That reminded me a past time. Before my capture. When it was the Happy Jared. Today, it was the Dark Jared.
Let him go, Wanderer.
Don't you understand? I don't have the choice. That's why they inserted me into your body.
Liar. We always have the choice and you know it as well as I do. And you, you chose the war. You chose to kill. To destroy lives. Hearts.
I was bursting into anger. I was shouting my pain, my resentment, my love. I was shouting all these feelings she had contained. She had taken control since so many time. I finally found the strength to fight.
Stop it.
She was already tightening her grip around his neck.
NO. Don't touch him.
And for the first time since my capture, I could act. I had dreamt of this moment a thousand time. To finally take my body's control back. And Jared was here, in front of me. I was so afraid that it would go. So afraid of not making the most of it.
Before she could react, our lips had already found each other. With a cruel taste of goodbye. During few seconds, it was Jared and me. We were breathing each other, memorizing each other, loving each other. No past, no futur. Just the present. Just us. Together.
And then, she reacted.
Just a last look. Feel his presence. Let me love him again Wanderer. Let me believe in it. We were loving so well Jared and me, you know. Far from compromises. Far from illusions. We were just loving each other.
That's the most beautiful feeling you made me discover, Mélanie. But I can't let you do this. I have a duty. I won't sacrificed so much souls for him. You'll never be together.
The pain was irradiating from each part of my body. We'll never be together him and me. It was obvious and nobody could deny this fact, not even me. We could fight the fate, but it'll always catch us. Sooner or later. She had made a run. But I wouldn't let her win.
Last gaze for Jared. Hardly a second. A second which'll be my eternity.
Farewell. I love you. Live Jared. Live until the infinity. Live, hurry up. Live for both of us.
Frenzied run to unknown. My feet pounded the ground.
Clac. Clac. Clac. Clac.
Every step gets me away from you. Every step rescues you.
Stop, blithering crazy girl, stop! Don't you see? You're running to your death!
Run. Run. Run. And then, stop, out of breath, too weak to keep control.
You know that all of this are used for nothing? Just to kill you. Tomorrow, they'll throw your body at the sea. I should have said your corpse.
A laugh gots away from my lips. Helpless. I had forgotten this sensation. And this sentence which is repeating like a jingle.
Jared's gonna live.
