"Hadrian, drop the dagger. Don't do this. We can get away from this mess and live a peaceful life. Please don't do what I think you are going to do ". Kellen pleaded. Tears fell down and his hands, shakily reached out to move the dagger away but Hadrian sidestepped.
Hadrian looked at Kellen with determined eyes and held the dagger closer to his neck and then said
"Kellen Crystal - Rank Beta, First Class Sergeant of Group Delta and No. 2 in the Organisation. I bestow upon you the title of Master Assassin and the title of Head Guardian of the Para-Forces. I also want you to take my last words to the master." Kellen was crying. He knew how stubborn Hadrian was and also knew that he would not give up once he made up his mind. " Sergeant Kellen shall fulfill General Black's last duties upon his death ".
They both looked at each other. Hadrian committed every detail of Kellen into his mind. He knew that no matter what, he would always love Kellen in his heart. Kellen was doing the same. Hadrian smiled and began his last speech.
" Master Ford, thank you for giving me a reason to live and a place to call home. I have paid my debts in blood and will be grateful if you could keep it that way. Don't look for my body or grave ever in this life"'.
He took a deep breath and then looked at Kellen.
"My dear love, all my property belongs to you. Do whatever you want with it. Remember, I will always love you no matter what. My body and soul are yours. I love you. Promise me, to move on and fall in love again. Don't keep living as a ghost. Hide my body. Promise me".
Kellen nodded."I promise''.
With that, Hadrian slit his throat.
" NO. HADRIAN!!!!!!"
Hadrian fell to the ground. He looked up and saw Kellen run to him and slid next to him. Kellen cradled him in his arms. Hadrian put a hand against his cheek and caressed him. Blood spilling, he said his last words.
"I love you ".
The world turned black.
Hadrian P.O.V.
Darkness.
I am shrouded in darkness. I like it. It feels comfortable and blissful. Not to mention, strangely warm and cozy.
At least, I am glad that the misconception of death being cold is wrong. I could sleep here forever. I knew that I had nothing left behind to live for except for Kellen. My death will definitely cause chaos in the Underworld but I have faith in Kellen's ability to manage and control. I hope he moves on and finds someone to love. I will pay you back Master Ford tenfold if I get a chance to come back. I will make you suffer. I have a lot of regrets. One is that I wished my parents were still alive. I miss them so much that I want to see them again.
" Is that your wish ?"
A voice rang out. I was so surprised that my eyes flew open. The darkness dispelled to reveal a green meadow covered in flowers of every color and the blue Sky. The beauty stunned me to the core. This is paradise. "It is indeed, my child ".
I heard the voice and looked around to see who was speaking. Immediately, I noticed a huge tree. It had a lot of branches hanging down resembling a curtain. It instantly reminded me of the Banyan trees I saw in trip to India. The branches swished and out stepped a beautiful creature. My eyes flew open once I registered what the creature was.
A huge White Lion.
Very magnificent with it's pristine white fur and a nimble body. We made eye contact and it began to walk over to me.
