The Heartless that Died

Jake looked at the red blood that covered his hands. The past days haven't been peaceful. He was committed to living a life free from dangers, yet here he was killing for the sake of the one he loved.

There was no time to reminisce. A few more seconds and the door before him would open as the enemies would rush in.

Jake's heart was beating non-stop. He was reaching his limit. If he did a few more, he would collapse and fall unconscious. But this was the path he chose. The moment he attacked those men that were tailing Kristine, he knew he had no choice but to finish the task.

"Now!" Jake thought as he jumped forward. His head moved through the door and a small part of his head emerged on the other side.
