Fight for Love

by David Manoa

  She said “It was my idea to give you the phones, your messages were quite touching. Romeo… But like the story you know how it all ends… In tragedy.”

  She tried to hit me again when she missed hitting the ground causing a spark. I was huffing leaving a trail of blood I reached the middle of GPs car the sunlight speared in from the open door. I flashed on the surface of my face. The light is so bright I paused to see Natalya lift the pole I raised my forearm to protect me when she froze.

  I watched as her eyes rolled to the back of her head when she fell down. A knife wedged in her back GP was on his knees as the blood pissed out of his chest. Streams of tears down the side of his face as fell into the pool of water.

  I lifted Natalya’s head and screamed “Where is she!” her right eyes opened then she muttered. “She’s dead from the hypothermia…” Her eye shifted to the car. I turned to see water dripping from the boot.

  I shouted her name sliding over Please be alive, please be alive.

  ***

  Claudia

  Hallucinations and sounds. I thought I heard will. My ears strained to hear my name, but my mind was playing tricks. My body so numb I don’t even know if I was still alive. My thoughts started to flatline that moment before death when things become still and quiet.

  It was a serene moment I was ready to go. If I had enough strength I, imagined what my last message on my phone would be.

  Juliet: William I love you so much…

  My eyes closed when I felt rush of the wind draws in around me a warmth of the air. I heard a voice shouting in my ear. I felt my body being shook. I opened my left eye to see my man crying over me. My body was lifeless.

  I couldn’t even move. Am I dead? I felt Will lift me up as he placed me on the ground. He ripped away at my wet and frosted clothing when I felt his warmth of the body embracing me. His chest was against my breast his large hands rubbing the warmth into my back. He kept his face against my cheek. I felt the transfer of his warmth and love.

  My eyes blinked and I mustered up strength while I shivered. I could hear him clearly my mind becoming aware fighting the sleepiness. He shouted cupping the sides of my face.

  “Baby can you hear me?”

  I smiled nodding when he smiled back. His hands wiping the warm salted tears from my face he said softly. “Baby, I’m sorry I took so long… I read every message you sent, but I could reply because they would have killed you. There were things you mentioned in the message that you felt I held back because of my job as a soldier, but it wasn’t that.

  I became puzzled when I felt the sensation in my lips beginning to move. My tongue started to roll and words came out of my mouth, I said still shaking “Whhat… waasss… ittt?”

  William leaned and pulled out his dogs tags around it was a diamond ring looped in it. Gosh, it was beautiful. I watched William unhooked it and put it in his hand. He took my frosted hand and cupped it blowing hot breath on my hands and fingers.

  He said, “Claudia Coe will you marry me?”

  I shivered as I watched the gleam of this diamond ring gleam and glisten on my finger. He ran his fingers over my tears. I said.

  “Yeess… I.. I… Will…”
