No,
Silence coated my mind as his heartbeat faltered and ceased in my head.
No,
My connection to him was dead.
No!
An overwhelming sense of loss crushed me to my knees, and forced my face to the muddy earth.
No, no, no no
Pain filled me with every heart beat, like a dagger, stabbing me to the hilt and twisting over and over again. Make it stop. Please.
"NOOOOOOO" My screeching wail emphasised the truth. He was dead.
I want to die.
The assassin craved her own death

Emotion coursed through me like electric currents. I had to find him before it was over. Our minds and souls were separated, but i could still smell his woody trail. Tears poured down my cheeks blinding me as i tried to find up from down. Stumbling onto my feet, I trampled through the corpses of alexanders followers and mine. I was too numb and lifeless to care if i stood on them. Would they care? I wouldn't. Not without him. Reaching the barrier of trees i broke into a run, i had no second thoughts on what hit me, what i stood on, or in, i would find him.
And thats what i did.

He was in the meadow. Our place. Sobs assaulted me before i even saw
 him. On wobbly feet, i scoured through the long grass until i came to the Centre, "where the grass is shorter and the bluebells bloom," he would grin, spinning me in circles, my bare legs flying through the air. But there he lay, with a lifeless expression on his face, colour fading from his stone cold eyes. I crawled over on my hands and knees in devastation. Angrily wiping the tears from my eyes, i wanted, needed to see him,

"Wake up, please baby, Wake up" i rested my hands on his cool cheek, forehead against his... Our short life together flashed through my eyes. Pointless. To fast, i wanted more time with my love, my everything, him.

"You know, you were about this close to making me believe you were deranged? Honestly, I thought I would have to get some sort of treatment if you touched me.," When I didn't answer, he continued to speak with his deep gravelly tone  "Hey, cave girl, I know you're there." Cave girl? God this guy was overloading my careful balance of rational thought. Below me, twigs snapped. did he leave? I sure hope so. I stopped completely still when I heard the rustling of branches and more movement. He wouldn't. Would he? He was following me up the bloody tree.
Crying into his shoulder, i sobbed, "I'm not finished with you. I still need you. please don't leave me. Please not yet, not now. Please baby, wake up, let me see your eyes, its not our time yet, it cant be. Don't go!"
"Whats this, the baby assassin is scared?" Knox said with mock shock as we waited in the buzzing line for the dragon coaster,
"Im not scared you douche," i said, looking stonily into his dark brown eyes. I was scared to shit, but i would never tell him that. Looking away to anxiously watch the line slowly move down, but it will never be slow enough. I warm solid mass brushed up behind me, shadowing my figure, lips at my ear he whispered huskily, "cave girl, its okay to be scared, i wont hurt you, i promise," reaching down, he wrapped his pinky finger around mine. It was so sweet and comforting and so unfamiliar i couldn't breath. I pulled away.
"Im scared, i need you, i know i never said it before, but i need you, save me Knox, save me. Please" i wailed louder, clutching his ripped, bloody shirt in my fists i curled into his side.

I grabbed his arm in one hand to keep him in my grasp and used the other knife held hand against his throat, my long hair covered most of my face in an attempt of subtle camouflage. I grunted in annoyance when I found that he was unexpectedly taller than me. Peering at my captures profile, his face remained passive but his eyes glinted with a hint of fear, but it wasn't enough for him to flee. Stupid. Stubborn. Human. I groaned loud in annoyance. With a single shove towards the edge of the forest, I croaked, 
'Leave.' He didn't even blink. Bloody hell. Standing tall, I crossed my arms, 'leave. Now.' I practically yelled. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, this kid, actually grinned and copied my stance, his arrogance followed by one single word.'No.' Gah! Two could play this game. 'Fine, suit yourself, you stay right here.' Holding his gaze, I placed my knife between my teeth, jumping to grasp the high branch above my head, I swung my legs to sitting position on top. Climbing higher with the confidence and balance of a panther until he lost sight of me in the trees. I remained there until he left, he didn't. A slow applause echoed through the branches mockingly.'Okay,' he drew out the word laughing, I stayed silent, hoping he thought I left. But he just continue to gaze upwards with his smug grin, he held up his fore finger and thumb. 'You know, you were about this close to making me believe you were deranged? Honestly, I thought I would have to get some sort of treatment if you touched me.' When I didn't answer, he continued to babble on. 'Hey, cave girl, I know you're there.' Cave girl? God this guy was overloading my careful balance of rational thought. Below me, twigs snapped. Did he leave? I sure hope so. I stopped completely still when I heard the rustling of branches and more movement. He wouldn't. Would he?

I was alive, drunk on enjoyment. Drums beat along with my racing heart, they beat with so much passion and honesty it absorbed into my wilting soul, the night sky glowed brighter than the sun as the stars and moon rejoiced along with the people, they danced, each and everyone of them, from the young to the old. They all danced around the large roaring fire with grins on their faces and rhythm in their cores. Feet tapping, hands clapping and drums pounding, it rocked the earth and swayed the barrier of trees surrounding the unknown village. Fireflies hovered around like hundreds of tiny lanterns making that bridge between what I've known all my life and what I've grown to believe was only a fairy tale.
