Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty One

A rock fell inches away from me, and I only managed to dodge it. Axel was losing a lot of blood. I knew what was about to happen, but I didn’t want to think about it. It just couldn’t.

“Riley, please listen to me.” he said, and I turned to him; sweat coated his face and his breathing was laboured. “I can’t make it, Riley. You know that, but if you go, you can save yourself and save Thane.”

“Please, Axel, we can make it alive, the both of us ”

“Look at me, Riley,” he pleaded, and I did. “Kiss me.”

Tears rolled down my eyes as I leaned to him and kissed him. I wouldn’t let him go; I just can’t. “I love you, from the very first time I met…” he took a long breath. “But you were never mine, and yet that didn’t stop me from wanting you. Don’t blame yourself for this; you, Riley, were the best thing that had ever happened to me.”

“But Thane… he hates me.”

“No, he doesn’t; reason with him; make him…. make him understand.” Axel coughed out blood. “Go now, get him, and leave this place.”
