Chained

Li Wei POV

I couldn't bear to leave him there.

I called the ambulance, then emptied the house, so no sign that somebody had lived here was there.

I took one last look at him.

Not long now before they come.

I just couldn't bear to let him be gone forever, I didn't have the courage.

He was now near death.

I smoothed his hair away from his face, which was paling by the second.

The smell of blood was strong.

My hands were covered in his blood.

I licked it off.

Sweet.

Slowly, I uncuffed his leg, breaking the chain in half.

What have I done.

My face contorted in anger.

Why won't he love me?

It's all his fault.

I stared at his flawless, peaceful face, as he lay unconscious.

I felt the corners of my lips curl up.

Death is a part of beauty.

The door crashed open.

I could hear the wailing sirens of the ambulance.

I jumped out a window, landing upright on my feet.

The breeze had picked up, my coat swaying.

I needed a drink. A very strong one.
