Chapter Eight: How does it feel when you lose the love of your life forever!!!!!!!

She saw her body lying there, wounded, torn, oozing in blood wrapped in his arms as if he could save her for himself.

She was dead!

This life had ended!

Her soul was free from the torture, agony and sorrow. She stood there staring at her dead corpse shuddering with the frightful experience of brutality that she had suffered in that life. Suddenly, a beam of light fell on her soul. It was as if the door opened, the door leading to another world where she belonged. Her soul blissfully spread the arms at the light and it cradled her lovingly and pulled her to it. Her spirit floated in the light and in a blink of an eye, the light vanished with her. As if, the door shut after she entered the other world.

 “You’ll be alright, my love. That devil is dead. Please get up.” He cradled her dead corpse and mumbled with tears flowing from his eyes. He kissed her forehead carefully.

  “Get up, Sophie, love.” He checked the pulse, but it had stopped for long.

“NO. You can’t leave me like this. We belong to each other. Please, love, for my sake. Please wake up. Please come back.” He was shaking nervously, crying like a baby.

Suddenly, he started yelling. “You cannot leave me like this. I am sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone. Don’t be so harsh, Sophie. Don’t go, please.” He cried hysterically shaking the dead body like a lunatic.

Suddenly he stopped mumbling. He carefully placed her body on the floor and sat still beside it, staring. I felt my heart beating ferociously. I looked at him. I wanted to console him, but I was just a spectator there. I was unable to touch him. After a while, he stood up and ran out from the house daring not to look back where laid dead the love of his life. He kept running aimlessly till he reached the heart of the woods that was densely dark and scary.

His legs shook with fatigue and treacherously stopped by itself making him stumble harshly on the thorny ground. He curled his body into a ball trying to catch hold of the pain that spread victoriously all over him, killing him steadily inside. He sobbed hysterically and screamed to let go of the agony but it stubbornly bore his serenity.
