Do Not Want Die

"I do not want to die, Ethan!" she held the front part of his shirt and tugged it hard. Tears started to flow again from her eyes as she shook her head vehemently as if she was struggling for her life.

Her actions ached his heart. He looked at her worried figure with unease. He wanted to help her but looked like he had only worried her further. She was in hysteria.

Even if he would try to explain to her that he would put all those ruffians into prison so that they could never come to her, she was not going to believe him. 

"Alright, alright, I will do as you say. I will do anything for you but please calm down." he pulled her towards him and buried her into his chest yet her body kept trembling with fear.

His hands held her tightly as if trying to assure her that she was not alone. While his eyes scanned the room. The room that was full of art and beauty was a mess and bare of everything.
