She still had his blood on her hands.
She…
Still had his blood….
On her. Cooling. Sticky. Dripping…
…down her face.
He isn’t moving anymore. Limp. He isn’t moving. He…he isn’t breathing.
She’d learned that long ago. People had to breathe. Human’s need air in their lungs. She scrambles to her bruised knees. He’d bruised them when he pushed her out of the way. He’d shoved her. “YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE!” she screamed at him. Leaning over him. His eyes were open. Staring into the void. “You pushed me asshole. You don’t push ladies!”
Hot droplets leaking from her fierce violet eyes lands on him. Maybe they’d warm him up. Like he’d do with her. Wrap her in warm hugs. She’d never told him he gives good hugs. She’d shrug them off. That’s what she was supposed to do. Never let them get close.
She was a Jinx after all.
“C’mon. You gotta get up. They’re gonna find us.” She whispers. “Ekko. C’mon. You gotta get up!”
They were walking home. He’d taken her for ice cream.
All she had asked was “what did it taste like?”
She forgot to warn him. She put in new traps. She’d had dreams. Bad dreams. Nightmares. They followed her. The eyes. They. she had…to. She had to put the traps in. Nobody could…find them. They were precious. He.
He is precious. Worth protecting.
He stayed with her. It’s dangerous with her. HE HAD TO BE PROTECTED!!!
He took one step off the beaten path. One step. boom.
It was a small pop. Barely a marble hitting the ground. But….now Ekko….
She could fix it. She…she can fix him. Stitch him back together. Make him one piece again. She’d tell him she loved his hugs. She…there’s still time.
“BLINK IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!” She screams. She pounds her fists against his chest, but it’s caving in. She kisses him. His lips are cold. Breathes into him.
Nothing. Stillness. Silence.
If he didn’t push her out of the way. If she’d told him. If she was a second faster. Her ears are ringing.
Silence.
Not….not even…an..echo…
Not
Not even. An. But his hugs… Not. Even. An. Ekko.
“I love you.” She says for the first time. “Come home.” she says for the last.
