18 Chapter 18

Sapphire held Hale in her arms. She hadn’t even blinked when the barriers had gotten broken and a giant chakram moving round and cutting through various soldiers. She didn’t flinch as the steel butterflies sliced through Supernaturals left and right and they fell. She wasn’t bothered that the creatures were back and barreling through. She held him, his face close to her neck as she rocked side to side.

She was open, she was vulnerable in the midst of the struggle, in the midst of the carnage. She didn’t even question why she wasn’t dead yet.

“You’re okay Hale” she whispered.

“You’re okay” he had gone silent but there was still that pulse. “I’ll get you help. You’ll get healed and when this is over, you’ll talk to my father and we’ll get married”.

“J-just go” he coughed. “I’ll catch up to you” he struggled to say.

“You better not leave me out there by myself” she said reluctant to let him go.

“….won’t” it was barely a whisper.
