Under the Moon Pt.3

With no other option Zhi Ruo pulled out her knife before I'm right in front of her.

*Ding*

Our blades clashed against each other and I kicked her leg to sweep Zhi Ruo off the ground. Knocking her blade out of her hand I put mine against her neck.

"Kill me" Zhi Ruo said as she looked directly into my eyes.

I smiled at her and grabbed both her hands placing it above her head. Looking at her gently I kissed her forcing a pill down her throat.

"You..what are you doing?!" Zhi Ruo angrily shouted before her strength started to rapidly weaken.

I pick up her body in a princess carry towards my Mother's grave. Stumbling one step at a time as I inched near my final destination. My breathing starts to become labored and my visions start to become blurred.

Reaching the tombstone once again it's now in tatters as the fight had decimated the area around us. Leaning against the leftover pieces of the tombstone I gently caress Zhi Ruos face as I pick up a piece of my mother's picture.

I look up towards the sky to see the dark clouds have scattered leaving only the bright night sky. Ah… I can finally see the full moon in all its beauty.

Looking at Zhi Ruo I notice that her fingers start to twitch, soon she would be able to move as the pill she took was only a fast acting poison only capable of temporarily paralyzing someone.

"Zhi Ruo...I'm sorry I can't keep our promise"

Suddenly the ring on my finger starts to glow and burn as I hear in my ear

"24 years… I've suffered for this? I never wanted this, I don't want your wishes. Just give me my life back"

Ah… my eyes are feeling heavy. I close them before feeling the wind and smiling gently while holding Zhi Ruo's hand.

"I've always hated the moon."

My thought drifting I could feel Zhi Ruo's hand tighten as her body started to regain its strength. I could faintly hear her as I felt something wet on my face. Ah...it's tears. "Don't cry Zhi Ruo" I whisper before closing my eyes for the last time.

"YEBAI!!! NOOO YOU CAN'T DIE"

"Please...don't leave me alone" whimpered Zhi Ruo
