Chapter 25 – Nightmares
I was standing there, in front of the final vampire: Murder. Hatred and Revenge were dead, thankfully, after 3 years of searching, I found them, and killed them. Now, Murder stood before me, completely changed. Her black hair was ragged and long, flowing to the arch of her back. Her once violet eyes were now permanently black, never again to look human. I too, had changed. I had let my rose red hair grow out only just past my shoulders. My ruby red eyes stayed the same as they have always been.
Now was not the time for this, though. I was wearing a full black gown, with large bell sleeves and a red stone around my neck, emplaced with gold. Blood dripped into it, sinking and blending in with the light-weight cloth. I knew it wasn't easy for me to die, especially from loss of blood, but, I began to feel light-headed. This was the last time to battle. Edward was watching from the sidelines, too awe-struck to move. I could feel his pain as he watched Murder lunge one again towards me, and stick her sword through my chest. Only inches below my heart. She threw me onto the ground, where I stayed.
"Crimson!" he cried out, and threw himself next to me. "Crimson, stay with me," he whispered, cupping my face in his hands. Tears fell down his face, and I could feel their warmth coming down my own face from my own. "Don't die on me!" he snapped.
"I am dying," I whispered back. He wiped away a tear and looked down at the wound. He quickly turned his gaze.
"How sweet, two lovebirds, one is human, the other vampire. I am surprised in your choice of mate, Blood," Murder haunted. She pushed Edward out of the way and shoved a blade into my heart. The pain was unbearable.
I heard him whisper my name…
Then a Scream…
"Crimson!" he whispered into my ear. I grabbed his shirt with all of the power and strength I could muster, and whispered back into his ear.
"Edward, the sketchbook. Keep it and remember it. Run, and never look back at my dying body. Don't attack Murder. Run and live another d-," blood curled its way into my throat, and it drizzled out of the corner of my mouth. His head went limp on my chest as I faded into darkness.
I was dead, forever, and for all eternity…
