Snippet #2090127

Coward. The Hellhound rushed from behind me as I pulled myself away from the rubble. It went to the place where the wormhole had opened and closed, looking confused and irritated. Shockwaves of pain shot up my legs from my ankles and the bottoms of my feet. I must have looked a mess to this girl. I smiled comfortingly at her hoping to put her at ease. I limped forward offering her my hand. She took it, and I helped her up with care, almost falling forward, myself.

I squeezed her hand gently holding it for a moment. She smiled and looked down, blushing. Strange, humans. I slipped a careful finger under her chin and softly got her to look me in the eyes. Pain and hurt, the occurence of late played along in the irises of her beautiful blue eyes. I pulled my finger away, holding her gaze for a moment.

My voice was raspy and restricted but I managed speech. "Do you believe in him now?" I asked watching her movement. You could tell she did. She hesitated but registered what I was asking. She nodded. Her irises were becoming shiny and wet with tears. I pulled my dagger from my belt still holding her hand gently. She looked confused and stunned. Betrayal registered in those blue eyes. But I would bring her salvation. And I did, peace, in those blue eyes as I slipped the blade into her chest with ease and care. She was in Heaven now.
