Hope of Departed

"Drip"

"Drip"

The blood dripped drop by drop to the ground, with the sound of each drop crashing to the ground chimed like thunder in the ears of Isley. She felt her breath halting as she couldn't comprehend what happened just now. It all happened in just a few seconds.

She could only helplessly contemplate as life faded away bit by bit. Her mind was not capable of thinking straight at this moment, as her memories stirred up randomly. The time she had spent with Cang, his joy, her happiness, all those cherished moments began to burn, leaving her empty and deserted.

She didn't scream, didn't cry as the end came near, only went ahead to hold Cang's blood-covered face one last time in her hands. She wanted to give him strength, assurance that it was fine but all this went meaningless as finally, one of two intertwined hearts perished forever leaving another behind alone.
