Snippet #1536871

'We are very much alive ... '

'I'll never leave your side again ... '

Aleksandra felt the gentle press of Alexis' lips against hers. The girl's reaction was a quieted gasp as her eyes flew open from surprise and shock. Another tear fell from the corner of her eye. Those silken and plush lips of Aleksandra felt as if they had been set aflame and the girl's heart beat just a little more quick as a blush rose up on her cheeks.

It had been Aleksandra's first intimate kiss.

Releasing a small sigh, the girl closed her eyes and attempted to press her cheek into Alexis' hand to no avail—Aleksandra was fully paralyzed due to her injury.

"Even if I have to carry you around here in my arms," Alexis said to her so lovingly, so compassionately.

"But the others. You should ... help the others, Alex. I'll—" Aleksandra's eyes opened lazily and looked away from Alexis to stare at the ground from the corner of her vision. "—I'll be alright here." There was a long silence in the air and filled with tension. Aleksandra knew that her death was most likely imminent and soon to come. She was nothing better than a helpless infant now due to her broken back and paralysis. Those creatures were going to come after them again; those demons. Alexis didn't deserve to die defending someone that was already going to die.

"But—" she said while turning her eyes to gaze up at the man once more,"—you better promise to come back to me. Promise that you'll take me home once its all over, Alexis?"
