• He's getting nearer and nearer with his arms widely spread. He want to get her. He's near ... get out of there! I manage to choke out. It happened so fast that the next thing i felt was a sweet, warm air touching my neck, and I was cradling something warm underneath me. I looked up to see what was under me, it was her.

    Did i just saved her? It felt like heaven, having her this close to me.

    I held her tightly and prayed that this moment will never end. But we're still in danger, i took a last tight hug and look at her face. She's the most beautiful girl in the world.

    Everything's going to be fine, I'm here to protect you, i promise. I whispered in her ears before i got up. I offered my hands to help her stand, she grabs it and stands up. As I felt her soft and warm skin, once again, I can't help not to look at her. This moment was so fulfilling, i can't stand not to stare at her face. Her eyes was full of contentedness, and faithfulness that i can't stand not to stare at her. I noticed a slight change in her lips.

    Is she smiling?

    Is that a little sign of happiness?

    Is this heaven?

    That little change her eyes made and that little change she made with her perfectly curved lips, made my heart to pound even faster. There's no place for her to hide here, I thought. Run as far as you can and I'll handle this. I told her. I run towards the monster to distract him. I looked behind she's still there standing. I can't go back there anymore or the monster will attack her again. I gathered all my remaining strength again, and wiped the dried blood in my forehead. I could feel the power building up inside me. I raised my head and look straight at the monster. His body was smaller than before, even his expression changed, but his skin was still pale. As i go near i could see the scars on his chest, suddenly the back of my right hand felt numb. It hit something hard that could break my bones if i punched it with full force. And soon i could see blood running through my arms, it was coming out from his mouth. It was warm and sticky, I looked up to see his face, now his eyes are closed as if he was expecting this. He fell down on the ground and started to vanish, I was surprised in what I saw. He was turning into a white dust, vanishing into thin air, and now the place was vanishing too. I looked at her, the slightest changes that she made was replaced with fear. I ran towards her and grab her hands, everything was surrendering to darkness again. But this time I'm not alone, in my arms i hold an angel. We started to fall into the endless darkness, i hold her more tightly and closely. Then I felt something warm wrapped around my waist.

    I'm in heaven.

    I don't care where will this darkness will take us, as long as I'm with her I'm contented. I closed my eyes and lean my cheek on top of her head, then i gently stroke her soft silk hair. I looked at her and and brush away some strands of her hair that's covering her angelic face. And I leaned my forehead into hers, my wound is screaming with pain, but i didn't care as long as im this close to her.

    I will never let anyone or anything hurt you.

    I promise.

    Then i was silent. As i cherish the moment, she's holding me tighter now. I started to stroke her hair once again, and put some of her long, soft silk, dark brown hair in the back of her left ear, then i rested my chin on her shoulder.

    I love you.

    I whispered softly in her ear, closed my eyes and let the moment pass.
