Just save him

Blood splattered on her face and her beige gown was tainted in red. Her heart thumped and she opened her eyes, only to find Adrian staggering on his way. There was a large garish hole near his chest, she could see his flesh through the hole. 

''No!!" Tears welled up in her eyes, ''No...'' she whispered again and shook her head. 

But that did not stop Adrian. He walked towards her even though his footsteps kept staggering. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him. There was no weakness in his grip. He still seemed like her powerful elder brother. 

If she was not seeing the huge hole in Adrian's chest then she would have believed her brother was still as strong as before or maybe his strength has increased considering the force he pulled her with. 

But he staggered and fell to the ground. 

The dagger in her hand fell and he dropped to his knees and Esme felt her body going limp, ''Brother!'' the rims of her eyes turned red.
