Lest I should fall by Arianna Erickson (8 ebook reader TXT) 📕

(Roland)

I watched Blythe as he stared off, his face changing into a mixture of emotions. Hurt, pain, Love, and anger all appeared, as well as sadness. I could feel Him behind me, talking with Blythe, I just didn’t understand what was going on.
Blythe apparently forgot I was there, jumped, and gave me a startled look, “Huh?”
I smiled reassuringly, “Nothing.”
“So, where is she at?”
Blythe finally composed himself and I watched him take a deep breath.
“More then likely at Ashe’s grave; It’s located on 5th St and Cooper Avenue.”

Blythe started to walk away as he said, “Tell her not to look for me unless she’s looking to get killed. Tell her I said that until the due time, you are my replacement and to love you like she would me. Goodbye Roland.”

“Hello Allianna”

I could have sworn I was still sleeping, could have sworn this was just a trick my mind was playing on me. As I opened my eyes and sat up my heart tore into pieces once again, as I stood I could feel tears spilling down my face as I started to fall backwards, only to be caught by his amazing arms and held against his chest in a loving, familiar, and safe embrace.
I couldn’t feel anything at first. All this time he’s been gone I’ve worked so hard to piece myself back together again, to heal, to love again, and most of all…to smile. Because of him, I thought I could never love again. Because of him, I thought that with him gone, life wasn’t worth living, but it was. In addition, I found love again, found hope again. More importantly, I found me again.

So what was he doing back? Why was he here? I don’t know what brought him back to me, but whatever it was, I was thankful. I held and clung to him as if any second he would disappear, just a fiction of my imagination.

“I…I missed you so much,” my voice broke at “much,” and sobs escaped me.

Roland shook as he held me to his chest, “I missed you too, my beautiful, Lover.”
Somehow, all the pieces of me that were broken as a result of him leaving me, slowly, and permanently began to piece themselves back together again. And as I cried, eventually my tears of pain turned into tears of happiness at having the love of my life back in my arms. Now that he is back, I’ll never let him go again. It is now I realize that he was always the other half of my broken heart.

It felt so good to have her back in my arms. Just to feel her head against my chest brought back the feelings that first came when our lips first met. I couldn’t help but shudder at all the pain we both went through at the fact of not being able to have each other. All this time, we should have been in each other’s arms, all this time we should have been in each other’s bed, in our hearts, in our lives. Now, things are the way they should be. She’s mine once more. Now everything is perfect again.

I looked down into her beautiful brown eyes, and smiled. I leaned down and kissed her forehead as I wiped away her tears, and eventually, my lips found hers. She tasted like sweet honey, yet she was an addiction all in one. I clung to her as she to me, thankful to have my Baby girl back in my arms. However, despair filled me as I realized our happiness was short term only.
We still had yet to take on the world together, with me, as her protector.

I pushed all thoughts besides ones of her, aside, as we kissed with such passion that I forgot to breathe. At that moment, nothing else mattered except her. Nothing meant more to me then loving her.

I felt so much love from Roland. Not only that, but I could see the love he had for me in his eyes; His gorgeous, chocolate brown eyes. The eyes I could melt from looking into. He wiped away my tears, and eventually we kissed. The kiss was just as electrifying as when we first met, maybe even more so. His hands sound their way to my waist, as my arms found their way around his neck. We pulled each other closer. I was so afraid I would wake up and find it was all a dream.

When we stopped kissing, I laid my head on his shoulder and nuzzled his neck, inhaling his scent.
“I’ve missed you so much.”
I looked up at him as he spoke, remembering why I loved his voice so much. My eyes started to tear up again as he said, “Allianna, I love you.”
Tears started spilling over against my will. I couldn’t help hugging him tighter, I never wanted to let him go.
“I-I love you too, Roland,” I said as I buried my face in his neck to hide the tears. All this time in my heart, I’ve still secretly been suffering over losing Roland. I was hoping Blythe could take his place, and for a while, he made everything better. Now, however, everything has come undone. I just hope Roland can truly fix me.

(Blythe)

How could I let this happen? Why did I just let the best thing that has ever happened to me go?
“Damn it!” I cursed at the sky. She’s gone.
I kept walking down the street. Roland was long gone. I didn’t know what to make of what just happened. Roland was supposed to protect her from me.
“I would never hurt Allianna!” I growled, “I love her!”
I glanced down at my hands, and saw long, black claws instead. I blinked and in a second, they were gone. What was happening to me? Things are going completely wrong! I’m supposed to be the one protecting her! Not some guy who broke her almost beyond repair!
“God, why are you doing this to me? She was my reason for existence in this horrid world You created!” I began shouting into the darkness.
Tears started swimming around my eyes, and began spilling over. I never thought losing Allianna would hurt so much. I’m protecting her, while at the same time destroying myself. How ironic. I sat down against a wall underneath a street lamp, and held my head in my hands. This just hurts too much. I not only want, but I need her back. Back in my arms. Back in my life…she belongs to me. And I love her. I looked up at the sky, “Please God, give her back to me.”
Are you sure, son of Lucifer, you want God’s daughter as your other half? The one girl who will destroy all you were sent to accomplish?

My hands tightened into fists as my skin began to crawl. “Whose there?”
Why Master, you have not forgotten me already, have you? It was me, after all, who saved you from that beast you called your father.

My eyes narrowed dangerously as I looked around in the darkness. “Sora, Why are you here?”
I told you I’d be back when you needed me. So here I am, Master.

Something made my skin crawl, and all of a sudden over took my soul, my heart, my body, and me. I could not control who I was anymore. Slowly, the wound left by having to give Allianna up, was an open portal for all the hate, destruction, and death inside me to awaken.
I heard evil laughter fill my ears as Sora appeared in his form of an angel of darkness in front of me. A sudden realization hit me. “Sora stop this!”
He laughed at me, his long black hair softly rising with the slight new gusts of wind. Never! You wouldn’t accept me in the past, now you have no choice!

My body started shaking, then suddenly, I was gone. The new me was born. The me who loved to hate, and never let go of his hurt, the one who would make Roland pay. I laughed; it felt so good to be free, to finally know what true power was. I could feel the darkness slithering against my skin caressing me, and giving me all this power, all to control. For once, no one could stop me.
So Master, where to first?

My eyes glowed red, “Heh-heh-heh-heh, time to show God’s precious little daughter what a real man is like.”
