Finding Love *Not Edited*

Chapter 13

            “I'm fine,” I whispered, zipping the bag up and threw it over my uninjured shoulder. “I'm used to these things, remember.”

            She nodded but I could see she still wanted to argue bit did not as we started walking back to the cave, not looking back at the bloody bodies.

            My arm and back felt like it was on fire and I bit my tongue from screaming as tears ran down my cheeks. I was shaking from the coldness and Emma was shaking with fear as she searched throughout bag to find something warmer for me to wear. “I-it’s not even cold Diana,” she cried as she threw clothes out to find something.

            “I- I know,” I choked out, before spitting out blood on the cave floor. “I-I don’t think I'm going to make it. I'm going to die.”

            “No sissy, you can’t,” she cried, running over and pulled a sweater around my bare legs and I sighed with relief with some warmth but I was still shaking. “Remember you promised me we would try to find daddy and so many other things.”

            “P-promises were meant to be broken,” I choked out.

            “No,” Emma screamed, smacking me on the leg and I winced. She just glared at me, not saying sorry as she stormed out of the cave. I sighed deeply, my vision getting blurry and I blinked again, trying to clear it up. I coughed again, feeling warm liquid fall off my chin and I did not even need to look at it to know it was blood. I was dying and I was dying slowly. I needed the hospital but I knew by now if I even made it, I would be dead so it was not even worth trying.

            Cold tears ran down my face as I heard Emma’s loud cries echoing the cave. For an eight year old she was smart, she knew I was dying and there was nothing she could do to save me, she could just stay beside me as I die.

            I knew I was going to die protecting her and the rest I love but I never knew it was going to be before my life started. I will never have boyfriend, never got married, never have kids and grandchildren. I was going to die before any of those things happened but I knew I was going to once see my mother and if my father is dead, I was going to see him.

            What about Emma, I asked myself and I sighed. I should not leave her right now. She was in trouble and I was the only one that could take care of her. However, I did not have a choice, I was shot in the arm from a hunter and I was slowly dying, so what could I do….nothing.

            “I'm so sorry Emma,” I whispered.

            Emma crawled back into the cave and frowned at me. “We need to go to the hospital,” she said and I chuckled, coughing up blood also.

            “I can’t move,” I whispered and she let out a whimper before crawling to my side and laid her head on my leg.

            “Y-you can’t die, Diana,” she cried. “Y-you’re my sissy and you are stronger than just dying. You can survive!”

            “It’s not that easy,” I whispered, my voice not going any louder than that. I let out a bloody scream before clamping my teeth shut as the fire spread through my stomach and down to my butt.  

            “Diana,” Emma squeaked in worry. “Are you okay?”

            I nodded my head to not let her worry. If I opened my mouth and unclenched my aching teeth, I was going to scream. My eyes dropped as my vision got blurry and Emma turned into a large blob. I heard screaming in the background, footsteps and howling but I was too busy fighting off the weight on my body to do anything. I was getting tired but I wanted to say one last thing to Emma before I died. I felt large hands around me, I lift me up, my heart pounded as the tingles spread through where the hands touched me, and I let out a bloody scream as the pain shot through my wounded shoulder. “I'm so sorry Diana,” a man said, his voice sounding in pain. “Helps on its way.”

            “Tyson,” I croaked before feeling my heart beat drop and I closed my eyes and gave up, letting the weight carry me off into darkness.
