I couldn’t believe it. No, actually I didn’t want to but I knew it was true. I felt like I couldn’t breathe and that time has stopped or everything was moving in slow motion. I screamed his name over and over again but he didn’t move. He stayed there on the cold wet floor with a tall dark guy standing over him. I was still shouting his name and trying to get out of the person holding me against my will but like always I was too weak to get out of his grip. I stopped as Fayt moved. My heart skipped a beat and I felt like I could breathe again. I began to fight more but he didn’t let go. Then someone spoke.
“Let her go,” the boss said.
“But boss-”
“No buts let her go. Let her say goodbye to her dear dead bloodsucker” he laughed.
He loosened his grip on me and I ran to Fayt who was not moving anymore as I ran to him my heartbeat raised and my hands began to shake when I knelt beside him. I raised my hand to move his hair upon his face when he opened his eyes I jumped back in shock.
“Fayt” I whispered his name as I removed the hair from his face.
“Claire...” he whispered back to me. I took a deep breath of relief.
“You’re okay,” I said and kept on repeating after.
“Claire listen” he croaked out. But I still kept on repeating “You’re okay”
“Claire” he gasped out and then began to cough.
“Fayt” I screamed as his eyes began to flutter.
“Claire I-I-I...” he only gasped out a few words before he started to cough and breathe heavily again. I smoothed my hand over his forehead trying to calm him down. I think it helped as he began to talk again.
“Claire I want you to know something” he started to breathe more heavily.
“Fayt stop trying to talk you are only going to make it worse,” I said.
“Claire I have to tell you, you need to know”
“But-”
“I love you” he whispered and looked right into my eyes with his dark brown eyes which seemed to be going darker by the minute.
“What?”
“Claire you know what I said-”
“But-”
“It’s okay I know you don’t-”
“You love me?” I asked still in shock and hardly breathing again.
“No I’m in love with you” he corrected me.
“Fayt?... I love you too” I said looking into his eyes.
“No you don’t but thanks for saying it” he forced a smile and then gasped for air to breathe.
“But-”
“Claire I’m in love with you. You love me as a friend and it’s fine. Who would want to love a bloodsucker” he smiled trying to lighten the mood.
“I would if you kept on trying to stay alive for me”
“I can’t Claire I would do anything for you but a stake that’s what kills us.”
I sat there in silence as I took this in trying to handle it when Fayt spoke again.
“Claire?”
“Yeah?” I gulped.
“I want you to know I will never forget you. I remember the first day we met the way you stood up to Ruby I was shocked the way you did. I loved everything about you. Your smell, your care for others, your personality, and your beauty. I will always remember it and all of the other things that made me love you.”
I was too shocked to say anything and my heart began to beat more than it ever did.
“Remember me?” he whispered just enough for me to hear.
“Always” I promised as he seemed to be losing time.
“Claire I want you to run,” he said firmly.
“What?”
“Remember to run”
“I promise,” I said not actually sure what he meant.
“Tell the others that I will miss them”
“What? No, you can’t die”
“Claire...” he whispered and his eyes turned black. I smoothed his forehead again with tears running down my face and dripping onto his chest. I glanced at his chest and it made me cry much more. There was too much blood. I was shocked at how much there was and how a stake could kill him. Someone was coming up behind me as I was weeping more and then the worst happened as Fayt turned into dust and he was no longer there he was just a pile of dust. I slammed my fist on the ground not caring how much it hurt me.
“NO, YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME FAYT!” I screamed even though I knew he was gone and he was never coming back. He was gone forever he left me. I felt my heart was being ripped into pieces and no one was there to help me it hurt so much I just wanted to die but I couldn’t I owed that much to Fayt and the thing is if I knew he loved me I would have learned to be in love with him but now he is gone. Dead. Nothing but a pile of dust and that hurt me more than you can ever know.
