It seemed like a beautiful sunny day outside. Warm, but not too warm, with slight breezes that seemed to sing in harmony with the world around it. The birds singing in the trees almost made it seem like nothing was wrong. Almost. Faryn couldn’t see anything, but the warm sun on his shoulders and the grass between his toes suggested that this was one of the large fields surrounding the institute.

This was where he was going to die.

How foolish could he have been, to have believed he could have escaped? Someone must’ve found out. They must’ve told the guards. The guards knew they were escaping before they had even left the building. Faryn would have been fine with his death sentence if it wasn’t for her.

Vera.

She was the only person that cared for him. the only person Faryn ever cared for.

‘ I never got to tell her how I feel.. ‘

The constant pushing of the guards behind him made it impossible to try to talk to her, to be near her. All he wanted to do was feel her beside him, to know he wasn’t alone. The one constant thing in his life, he wanted to cling onto it. He wanted to hold her, and never let go, even when the world is crumbling around them.

She’s going to die here too.

Faryn very quickly pushed the thought out of his mind, his stomach bending in a thousand different ways. He could never imagine a world without Vera, a world where the ground isn’t blessed by her presence. A world without meaning, without purpose.

Eventually, they stopped walking.

“ kneel down “

Faryn heard Vera comply with the guards, her knees hitting the ground and grass with a thud.

“ How do you keep fighting, despite all they have done to you? “

Vera asked, dabbing something into Faryn’s wound-covered back. It stung, although it was bearable.

“ I don’t know.. but, seeing how they treat us. It fills me with rage. I want to escape, I want to be able to see the outside world. I want to see it with you... Will you come with me? “

Vera stopped for a moment, looking at Faryn

“ kneel down “

The guard repeated, but Faryn didn’t comply. Faryn felt the guard’s rifle hit the back of his knees with such force it caused them to buckle, sending him falling onto his face. The guards removed the bag off of Faryn’s head, holding him down so that he wouldn’t run away. Faryn looked at his surroundings, absolutely breath taken.

The field was surrounded by tall trees, stretching all the way up into the blue sky. Bright, vibrant red flowers adorned the green grass, supplying pollen from butterfly to butterfly. Yet the most beautiful thing in the field was Vera. Her blonde hair seemed to glow in the sunlight, like rivers of gold. The guards picked him up by his under-arms, bringing him to his feet. Faryn tried to kick and struggle, to get to Vera, but all he got was a particularly bad hit in the stomach.

” From now on, the more you struggle, the worse the girl’s death will be. “

Faryn’s head turned to the source of the sound. His eyes widened and he immediately stopped struggling. It was him, the man behind it all.

“ You wouldn’t dare ! “

Faryn yelled, his voice full of malice. Faryn was overcome with a boiling, raging anger unlike that he’s ever felt before. Without even thinking he ripped himself free from the guard’s grasp, tackling the man he detested so so much.

“ donT YOU LAY A FUCKING FINGER ON HER!! “

He screamed, kicking the man again and again.

“ Faryn! Stop! “

He heard Vera cry, but it was only when the guards ripped him off did he stop. He felt their firm fingers digging into his skin. There was no way he was getting away now.

“ Vera.. I’m so so sorry.. “

Faryn sobbed, tears falling down his face.

” This is all my fault. If it wasn’t for me you would be ok “

Vera chuckled, wiping away his tears.

“ You were always such a crybaby Faryn. Whatever happens

we’ll always be together “

The man stood up, readjusting his suit. Blood trickled out of the left corner of his mouth, however it was quickly wiped up with a clean white handkerchief.

“ As I was about to say before I was so rudely interrupted, both of you have been convicted of the crime of escape, and you have been sentenced to death. However, I shall give one of you a chance to live. “

Faryn was stunned, although he knew there was a catch, there always was.

“ The next question will decide who lives or dies. Whose idea was it, to escape? “

“ It wa- “

Faryn stared, but Vera quickly cut him off.

“ It was a me, sir. It was all my idea. In fact, Faryn didn’t even want to escape until I coaxed him into it. I knew we would be killed if we were caught but... I thought we could do it. “

Faryn stood there, at a loss for words. He didn’t know what to say, what to do, he could only stand there. The man raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. He turned to Faryn with a wicked smile on his face.

“ Is that true Faryn? “

Faryn couldn’t make out the words. He couldn’t make out the thoughts. He was too stunned to speak. Faryn looked at Vera. He was insignificant to her in every way. She was beautiful, smart, kind. He looked at her long golden hair, her sparkling blue eyes . He could almost see her smiling, as if everything would be alright. But she wasn’t smiling now. Her lips were pressed together in a tight frown and her eyes were pleading, begging.

please, don’t say no.

Faryn broke out into tears and sobs . How could he make this decision, how could he send the only person he cared about to their death.

But he had to. He had to say yes.

“ I- Y-y.. Yes “

The man seemed to pay no attention to the waterfalls running down Faryn’s face. The sick bastard was enjoying every second of his horrible torture.

“ Hm, what a shame. I have to it you were one of the more beautiful ones. Oh well, I guess all good things must come to an end. “

The man turned his back to the field, slowly walking away. One of the guards walked over to Vera and grabbed her by the hair, aiming the rifle at her head.

Wait, no

It can’t end like this

It just can’t.

“ Vera... “

Faryn said, his voice broken by uncontrollable sobs.

“ I never got to tell you... that I love you.. “

Vera smiled, her sweet, kind smile that brought light to everything around it. The birds in the trees were silenced as Vera spoke, time itself clinging onto her words.

“    I     love    y-    “

Vera was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Everything seemed to slow down, as Vera’s lifeless body fell to the ground. Faryn couldn’t process what had happened. He just played the image, over and over again in his mind. She’s gone. Vera is gone, and all Faryn could think of was four words.

We’ll always be together
