|Chapter 1|
-"This is how it ended"-
She wrapped arms around her curves, rubbing her palms to gain some warmth. It did not take long for her to realize that she was shivering. The cold breeze seemed to sting every inch of her bare skin like a furious scorpion. It was another full moon surrounded by innumerable, bright stars.
She stopped, exhilarating the scenic beauty ahead of her. She was standing in an old, wooden bridge, with a river flowing underneath. She slowly walked towards its edge and stopped. Reflection of the night sky on the clear waters of river seemed as if a broken piece of the sky had been floating on the surface of water. She could hear the divine and rhythmic sound, clashing against the rocks and then changing its way, until it had finally met its destiny-the sea.
In a quick motion, she opened her jet black jacket and let it slide down. She paused, inhaling deeply.
"This is it." She finally let her tears flow, making no attempt to withhold it.
"I hope no one finds me, ever." She looked down at her fate, and without another thought climbed up the railing. Soon she found herself sitting in a dangerous position, balancing herself on the wooden portion of the bridge, facing the river.
This was the end of her story, she thought. The story untold, and soon will be buried deep inside the river. It all happened fast. In no moment was she being pulled by the gravity and finally engulfed by the dark water. Initially, she pushed the water with her arms and legs, trying to get some air, trying to keep herself alive. As soon as she was on the surface, she thought about it once again, as she continued struggling. The experience was a thousand times worse, after which she could only feel her body getting numb. She couldn't move her limbs or feel anything whatsoever. She let herself sink. End was near. The rest was lost in never ending darkness. Finally she could see him, feel him. This was her destiny. Death.
She looked up to see him. The familiar pair of jet black eyes, the heart warming smile and the touch that she longed for. He gently held her fist, pulling her towards himself. He was calling her. She struggled to near him, but the distance between them only increased. A ray of light blinded her, causing him to disappear. He was gone. She could no longer feel him. He was gone.
He pulled her out of the water, gasping for breathe.He slid his hands around her body and picked her up. Freezing water caused him the sensation of a thousand poking needles. She had stopped breathing, he noticed. In a few frantic motions, he knelt down gently lay her on the rocky ground. This was followed by an attempt. Attempt to save her life. Attempt of make her finally breathe again.
She wasn't helping him, since his attempts showed no success.
She looked at her pale blue, beautiful face as if pleading. He was giving up.She wanted to go. But he couldn't let go. Something inside him urged him to try and keep trying. He locked his lips with hers giving her artificial respiration. He tried again, and again, until he saw her fingers move again.
