Episode XXXII

The Death of a Princess
Elizabeth, �Cry, cry, its okay, cry.  I�m not ashamed of you for crying there�s no need to hide them.  You don�t have to hide your feelings from me, it�s okay to let go.  You never once hid yourself from me don�t start now.�

She smiled, and embraced her in my arms and cried in hers for a long time.  After awhile she started crying too, she felt bad because these were tears that I was holding back since my childhood.

Elizabeth, �I�m sick with the plague, I could spread the disease to you.�

Zinion, �I don�t care.�

She smiled even more beautifully and her tears were out of happiness this time.

Zinion, �My father killed my family, my mom, brothers, and even the citizens of Alexandria for immortality.  He did for the sake of his kingdom, to keep it.  He was going to die so he made a deal with Lucifer through some man who knew witchcraft.  I could have saved my mother, but I just stood there and watched her die.  I could have saved Vetrievian, but he told me to leave.�

Elizabeth, �No, it wasn�t your fault, there was nothing else you could�ve done and your brother wanted you to live.�

Zinion, �All I have left is you, just you.�

Elizabeth, �You still have the memories of your mom and brothers with you in your heart,  I�m sure they will never die deep down inside especially how much light, life, and love glows in it� Also you have the memories with me, how beautiful our time together was, and the first time we met�the meadow�our first kiss�my smile�and our love.�

Zinion, �Don�t talk like that alright, I�d said I protect you and I promised so stay with me,  you can�t die, I don�t want you to die.�

She was having trouble speaking, and was breathing a little harder for air.

Elizabeth, ��I don�t want to die either�I don�t want you to suffer because of me��

Tears started pouring out of her eyes, her skin was becoming paler, and the grip of her hand tightened, she was scared.

Zinion, �No, no your not going to make me suffer, you�ll never be a burden to me, hang on alright I�m here.�

Again she smiled so lovingly at me, but she knew that I was going to suffer a lot.

Elizabeth, ��I don�t want to die�I don�t want to leave you�Zinion�.I��

Her voice went low. The tight grip from her hand was lost, her eyes just looked at the ceiling, and her tears stopped flowing.  A part of me died with her, the part of me that was filled with light, life, love, and happiness.  It felt like my heart suddenly stopped beating, I didn�t want to except that Elizabeth was dead, but I had no choice but to cry and except the truth.  I felt empty and lost, I kept screaming crying out her name.  I�m sure her mother knew she was dead just hearing me bawl in tears, and trying to accept that I lost her.  When I stopped I kissed her one last time on the lips, without her kissing me back, and with her lips cold and purple.  I then sat at the front of her bed on the floor leaning agai
nst it. I was thinking and remembering all the beautiful memories we had that I�m not going to be able to have with her again.  Once again the darkness swallowed my heart.
