Chapter 255 - An Unexpected Death (2) (2/2)
”Then you need to hang in there okay.” I told her with a forceful tone. ”Don't you die on me now. I-I also want to know you better as a sister.” My tears are falling nonstop.
I really don't want Elizabeth to die. After that night when we talked and brought all of our grievances, I felt a little close to her. I never thought that Elizabeth and I will be on the same page.
”I…I think I can't…*cough*…last long.” Elizabeth said with a sad smile. ”I am just sad that we can't…get to know each other.”
”No! Don't say such things.You are going to be fine, you hear me.” I looked around searching for anyone that can help. ”Help! Please, anyone. My sister needs help!”
I held Elizabeth's hands and it felt cold. I was afraid…afraid of losing her.
”Alicia…please relay to father that I am sorry.” Elizabeth looked at me with such sad eyes. ”I have caused him nothing but problems. Please tell him that I love him so much.”
”No, you tell him that yourself.” I said while crying.
”And please tell big sister Veronica to let go of her hatred.” Elizabeth said. ”After I have let go of mine, I felt lighter. Alicia, I would have loved to be your big sister. I…I am sorry…”
Elizabeth's face looked very pale and she was getting colder by the second. I was feeling regret and pain. If only I was able to use my magic, then this would not have happened. I should be the one struck by those arrows. The guilt inside me was forming. I don't want Elizabeth to die.
Then Elizabeth inhaled deeply as if she can't catch her breath. And with that she had breathe her last breath. Her hand that I was holding went limp. The warmth of her body left her.
”No…no…no…” I can't believe this. This wasn't supposed to happen. ”This…this is my fault. She should not have died here now and in my arms.” My tears are falling on Elizabeth's beautiful dress. The blood stains have covered her upper body.
”A-Alicia…this is not your fault.” Jack was by my side without me knowing.
”Jack, please… please save her.” I said with pleading eyes but he shook his head with sadness.
”It's too late Alicia. She is already gone.” Jack said with remorse.
”No, no, no…she cannot die, just when we have fixed our relationship as sister.” I said with regret. ”No, this isn't happening.”
”Stop firing!” Gladiolus' voice was heard from a distance. The guards that were after us stopped with his order. ”Can't you see that you are firing towards my wife and concubine?!”
Gladiolus took a sword from a guard and stabbed the guards that fired the arrows upon us.
”Stop attacking!” Queen Patricia arrived at the scene. I looked at her and she did that same towards me. ”Alicia dear, just come back and I promise you that your friends would be spared.”
Seeing my aunt just made my hatred towards them more intense. Because of them, many bad things happened. And now my sister Elizabeth is dead in my arms. I can feel something boiling inside me. I cannot control it any longer.
”Aaahhhhhh.” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Light flashed from my body and a huge gust of wind pushed everything surrounding me flying away.
And then my mind just became blank.
