Hi everyone! So here's the second part of Lizie's point of view and I hope you guys like it! I'm sorry if this one took long to put up again and like I said it's kind of become a bad habit for me not to write so yeah! Also, sorry if my writing style changes every time all throughout the story, this is simply because I write throughout a multitude of days and sometimes I don't pick up my laptop to type for weeks and by then I would have lost where I was planning for the story to head so umm yeah… Sorry.

Nevertheless, I hope all you folks enjoy!

Elizabeta's POV

I cursed under my breath as my hand slipped through the empty air where the German albino's arm used to be and I cursed even more when I saw him run. My first instinct was to run after him leaving behind my Austrian lover. I didn't worry about Roderich much because I knew he would be reasonable and find his way back safely to camp if he lost us however, the thick headed man in front of me I knew, would keep on running and end up losing his way. So I followed him. I would have been able to overtake him and stop him in his tracks if there weren't so many things barring me from doing so and we ran for what seemed like forever.

I had started to tire from all the running and I knew Gilbert would have enough energy to keep him running for another ten kilometres while I, only had enough energy left to make it up to three kilometres maybe even five if I was that persistent. My mind had started to go fuzzy and I slowed down, being tired in monster-infested territory was never a good thing. I glanced behind me to see if Roderich was dumb enough to follow us but he was nowhere within sight so I presumed that he had turned back. I looked back to where Gilbert once was and realized he had disappeared. I cursed yet again. I shouldn't have slowed down and allowed him to slip through my sight.

I ran a few meters to find the way in front of me had been blocked by a collapsed ceiling. It always surprised me at how fast the buildings in the historic district broke down, it had only been a few months since the outbreak and the structures were already creaking from being left unattended. I quickly scanned the area to see if there was another route that Gilbert could have taken. Sure enough, tucked into a tiny corner stood a doorway, it was half-blocked by debris and other material that had fallen from the roof. Luckily, I wasn't at all that big well, I would have liked to think that I wasn't big (certainly not fat) and I was able to squeeze myself through the gap. The view that I saw next shocked me.

I saw Gilbert bathed in the afternoon sun filtering through a window whose glass had long ago shattered. His white hair was died a soft yellow and skin glowed gold, the sun reflecting from his eyes made them sparkle and the expression on his face made you gasp. His face betrayed everything to me at that moment; it was as if he was an open door letting out all of his emotions. His face showed so much gentleness, warmth and love that I thought he wasn't capable of. He was kneeling with hand extended towards a small yellow bird and all at once, everything clicked. Gilbert had once owned a small yellow bird similar to the one that I was looking at right that moment. He had cared for that bird ever since it was a chick and he was never seen without it. If there was anything in the world that he loved more than himself and teasing me, it was that bird. I saw him lift his hand towards the bird, whispering something inaudible to me, his eyes full of hope. However, the birds just chirped and flew through the shattered window. I saw the hopelessness in Gilbert's face and for once I felt sorry for the guy, I never knew he felt that way. He must have really missed that bird. I figured that he blindly followed it here thinking it was the same one.

I sighed and he looked up at me. For a second our eyes connected and he turned away, glowing red with embarrassment. I was going to say something like; I'm so sorry or tease him about it when I heard a small gasp behind me. I jerked, turning around instinctively reaching for my pistol only to find Roderich behind me. I gave a frustrated sigh and said, "Are you stupid or something? Why did you follow me!"

He just sighed and blinked looking past me. I gave another frustrated sigh and was about to scream at him if he heard me when I heard him whisper, "This place is beautiful."

I was confused by what he said for a moment and turned around. I was too busy staring at Gilbert to notice the giant auditorium in the background. What Roderich said was true, even in its ruined state there was no denying that this place was beautiful. There were a few holes in the ceiling and the walls, not to mention some boards in the stage had come off. However, the stone and marble pillars that surrounded the place, though flecked with dirt and dust still stood proud and as gorgeous as when it was first built. Red, tattered curtains framed the stage and a grand piano, ivory in colour stood in the middle. I felt Roderich brush past me as he started making his way down to the stage and I saw Gilbert get up and do the same.

I watched the both of them wind themselves down the aisles of the theatre and towards the piano. I always knew that Roderich missed playing the piano and was slightly happy that he would be able to play it again. However, we were in currently an uncharted area and those things were bound to be lurking around somewhere. Moreover, we weren't safe if those monsters did appear, there were two wide gaping holes on each side of the building. If they notice us, we would be surrounded in less than a minute-those things move fast you know. I took my time in getting down to them just in case an attack did come. I wanted to watch my eyes on those two gaps in the wall for any sign of movement as much as possible without, losing sight of the two idiots in front of me.

Roderich ran his hand on the surface of the piano, brushing off the dust that accumulated over the past few months. When he reached the keys, he hesitated, unsure if he really wanted to play or not. Gilbert though, would have none of it and laughed his distinct, annoying laugh and said "You've been moaning on and on about playing your piano and now you're gonna hesitate! Just play the damn thing already and get this over with!"

Roderich shot the albino an annoyed look and said "I'm merely savouring the moment. Now if you really want me to start playing then please be quiet and let me play!" Gilbert scoffed as the Austrian started playing. I remember the melody of that song was soft and gentle, lulling you softly into a gentle slumber, a state of false protection. I was always entranced by Roderich's melodies and maybe if I wasn't so then maybe, maybe I would have been able to see the danger that was slowly looming towards us.

It happened fast. The first wave, attracted by Roderich's sweet melody burst through gaps in the wall and started barrelling towards him. Gilbert was the first to react and started shooting however, it took me a while to snap out of the daze and soon enough I started firing my weapon as well. The second wave came soon after the first and it didn't take long till we ran out of bullets. I cursed and ran down from my perch to where the two men were, avoiding the thickening mob of intruders as best as I could. Nevertheless, I got a few scratches on my way there.

As soon as I got to where they were standing Gilbert had grabbed my hand and dragged me under the stage through a trapdoor leading to where the props were stored. It took me a while to get back to my senses but when I did, I realized that it was just only Gilbert and I. A soft gentle melody filled my ears amidst the sound of the intruders and I looked up through the floorboards. He was still at the piano.

"YOU IDIOT!" I screamed at Gilbert's face as I tried to find the hatch where I fell through.

"I tried!" Gilbert explained. "But you know him! Once he starts playing he won't stop until he feels like it! He got his wish!"

I found the hatch and started to try to open it not caring about anything that Gilbert was trying to tell me. Once I got it open, I climbed up and ran towards my lover, Gilbert in chase. The monsters were trying to climb the stage and I knew I only had a few minutes to get him out of there, which I knew wouldn't be easy.

"Roderich!" I called out. "Stop playing! Come on, I know you wished to play the piano but your life is much more important!" I reached the piano playing man and started to yank him away from his precious piano. "Please! I don't want to lose you!" Tears were rolling down my face as I pulled on him harder but the rolling melody continued. Gilbert had reached us and started to pull me away as the first few managed to get on the stage. I started to scream at Gilbert, fighting him to leave me be as I tried to get Roderich to come however, he was just as persistent to bring me with him.

"Elizabeta," Roderich's soft voice reached my ears and I looked at him. His eyes had closed and his body was swaying to the music. "Did you know I made this song for you?" Why is he talking about something like this? Why wouldn't he stop playing? "I was supposed to play it for our wedding day, it's called 'Hungary's lullaby'." Our wedding, didn't he want to get married when this was over? Why was it as if he was saying good bye? "I'm glad I could play it for you." No. No.

"NO!" I screamed, as Gilbert was finally able to wrench me free. I struggled and reached for him but Gilbert's strong grasp held me tight as we plunged back into the safety of the prop room. The last memory I had of Roderich was his smiling face and three words, "I love you."

I was a wretched, wreck as Gilbert coaxed me into getting to move and I was a wretched wreck when we finally made it back to camp. No one asked what happened and no one consoled me about my loss but everyone grieved and everyone was equally devastated. Some people say that when people die, their soul goes to heaven and that they will always continue to watch over the people whom they left behind. I would never know if he really did go back to God's domain or if he became one of those who still walk without gaining the rest, they deserve. One thing is for sure, he will live on in my lullaby.
