Chapter 4: Love and Loss
Day turned into night as Sawney and Bean laid there hopelessly. All the tiny humans had left and they were alone. Though they could not embrace one another, Bean was glad for the chance to try to comfort Sawney in peace.
"Ruaaargh." Sawney whispered lovingly.
Bean smiled in response.
Suddenly, a dark figure zoomed past Bean's face, too quick for them to make out.
"Gruaaargh?" Bean wondered aloud.
Sawney looked around worriedly. Before either of them could say another word, a dark blur zoomed across somewhere behind Bean but as soon as it had appeared, it was gone.
Sawney looked over towards Bean fearfully and noticed a dark red liquid seeping from his neck.
"gruaaargh?! Ruaaargh.. Gruauargh ruaargh!" He exclaimed fearfully.
Tears began to drip from Sawney's eyes.
"Gruaargh Ruaargh gruaargh.." He said, the tears dripping down his cheeks and forming puddles across the ground.
"Gruaaargh." Bean said sadly yet lovingly, before the light left his eyes.
Before Sawney could cry out in pain, the dark figure zoomed past again, slitting the back of his neck. He smiled softly at the thought of being able to join his lover once more, and with a final "gruaaargh.." he closed his eyes and stretched his hand out towards Bean as their flesh began to melt away and gas rose into the air.
