Pain seared through my body, my eye lids were heavy, luring me to sleep an eternal slumber. Tears were gathering my eyes, threatening to fall if I had not stop thinking of him. I just couldn't bring myself to do it... I betrayed him... I had absolutely no right to think of him; I was just a lowly scumbag that was driven by my idiotic goal for revenge; it blinded me, I couldn't see what he wanted.
Here I was; a suitable ending for one such as myself. Blood staining my skin, rotting alone, filled with the memories of the person whom I love when I had no right to love him. I didn't know why but... why ... was I hoping that I could see him before I died?
The sounds of footsteps rang through her ears, she turned her head towards the door with much difficulity, cringing in discomfort as light flooded the dark room. My tears couldn't stop themselves from trickling down her face, he was there. Not with an expression of anger or rage, but of concern...
"W-What are you doing here..?" I choked back a sob, straining my vocal chords to speak.
"I found out... Why you left us... why you left me." He stroked her cheek, eying my wounds that were sickeningly gory.
I bit my lip and smacked his hand off my cheek, and with everything I've got; I yelled at him. "I'm nothing but a traitor, a lowly scumbag who betrayed you..!" He looked at me, patience in his expression and.. love in his eyes.
My hands touched my cheek; wet and damp, my tears betrayed my empty words. He smiled, glad that I understood, glad that I didn't mean what I said. He carried me, I was enveloped by warmth...
Warmth that I didn't deserve.
I felt energy escaping my body. "No." I said slowly, looking at him. "I don't deserve this.."
"Hrist..."
"...I know I won't be saved." I continued, crying even more. "Your Higness--no--Clyde... Will you .. do me a final favor..?"
He kneeled down, biting back tears. He knew deep down, he was still angry at me. I could feel it... "...Anything."
I smiled for the final time at him. "Smile."
Without hesitation, he instantly smiled at me. That smile which I loved... It was more than enough for me. I leaned forward, brushing my lips over his in a chaste kiss. My first and final, I gave them to him.
"Good bye, Clyde... I love you."
I faded into the beckoning darkness..
