Chapter 74 - 73 Stay With Me
Footsteps raced down the dark, ashy ground. The gasping for air echoed through the late night. The sound of her racing heartbeat echoed in her ears.
Olivia prayed inwardly. ’Please be safe.’ She chanted desperately.
Olivia froze, as her eyes locked on the figure lying on the ground. A storm of thoughts swirled through her head. " It can’t be.." she hesitantly walked towards him.
When she got closer, she saw Lucian lying still, his blood pooling beneath him, staining the ashy ground red.
She dropped beside him, not caring how hard the ground was, her fingers trembled as they brushed his shoulders.
His face pale, sweat pooling at his brow. She brushed aside a strand of hair stuck to his cheek, her hand trembling. " Please... stay with me."
"Lucian..." she whispered, her voice cracking like a snapped thread. "Don’t scare me, get up please," she whispered again, as if she was scared of it being loud enough to miss the sound of his voice. Her eyes shone with fear and guilt.
If only she had stayed beside him, he wouldn’t have been in this critical situation. If only she had left the underground world with Abigail, this wouldn’t have happened. This was... all her fault.
Hot tears streamed down her face, dropping on Lucian’s body. She raised his head up, resting him on her shoulders. The moonlight casting shadows over their faces.
She felt déjà vu. Her memories flashed before her. She saw an image of her and a man with silver-white long hair embracing, waiting for their death.
Pain shot through her skull as if it was being ripped apart. Her eyes turned blurry for a moment, confusion contorting her face.
