Chapter 22:
Elysia's eyes batted open, as she awoke. A sudden chill caused her to remember she as nude. She let her eyes drift up to Christian's sleeping face, and she gently caressed his cheek, waking him. He smiled waking up and catching the hand with his own, kissing it.
Then, his eyes drifted away from her, he could hear something. Something like horses. "Elysia get up, get dressed quickly!" Elysia sat up pulling a sheet around her nude form. She quickly dressed in a simple clothing set she had and she stood by him.
What is bothering you?
You must go now.
I will not leave
They'll kill you
Their eyes will find you here
Be still now, Christian don't say that
Those eyes that burn!
Don't even think it
And if they have to kill
A thousand men
Forget this waking nightmare
They will come to kill
Please go with me it would be safer
And kill again!
Just please come with me!
My God who are these men
My God who are these men
Who hunt to kill?
This mask of death?
We can't escape from them
We must leave from here
We never will!
You must come too!
And though we try, to run and hide
There is no where we can go no matter
How we tried
I refuse to leave you
Elysia, I love you, more than anything
I've ever loved
But this world is where daylight dissolves into darkness, darkness
You can't stay here
They will rape you and beat you and kill
Everything we've ever dreamed and loved
Will be silenced
Silenced
But my voice will sing with your heart
Somehow
You must keep all of our dreams
A live
You must fly like a bird and soar!
And live on and
Love me more
But I refuse to live without your
Soul!
In your eyes I see my world
Without your eyes I can't go on…
Elysia shook her head, "I won't let them take you, I will never see you again!" "Elysia," Christian whispered. By now, it was too late. The sound of footsteps stopped them both, as a German soldier entered. "Christina de Chagny," he said, "I, CL. Lexikon am here to take you to Berschovik Concentration Camp and your lovely friend will go as well…" Two soldiers entered, one grabbing Elysia and the to her grabbing Christian. Christian's mind flooded with thoughts, just as Elysia's,
Farewell the one I love
And all we've dreamt
Too late for turning back, too late for prayers
And useless pity
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered
Past all hope of cries of help, no point in fighting
For either way we choose
We cannot win
So do we try to break free, or do we go to our graves
I wish I truly could have saved us
Angel of music
Past the point of no return
Who deserved this?
The finale threshold
Why is there no mercy?
I fought so hard
To free you
Angel of music
We've passed the
Point of no return
It is done now.
Elysia felt tears fall as she looked into Christian's eyes. Neither could speak, they looked at each other silently. The soldiers threw them in a trailer behind their car. Elysia edged over to him, leaning on his shoulder.
Say you'll share
With me
One love, one lifetime
Say the word and
I will follow you
Share each day with me
Each night each morning
It's over now, the life
We lived in light.
