2020-03-17 - If I Die

It was Gods awful early in the morning when Irvriya awakened and she looked to her side to see Elazar still asleep and peaceful looking.

Her eye was focused on him until she saw something move in the corner of her eye. She sat up in bed, trying to make out the figure in the darkness. That's when the features of the skeletal figure came into focus and she started to scoot over to El, making sure he was covered.

"You're going to die today." the whisper was soft, less powerful than it had been over the years. The sunken sockets of black just stared out, even if he had no eyes, she knew he was looking at her.

"If I do, then I do. But you can be assured that I'm taking YOU with me." she whispers harshly to the figure.

The sound of the laughter that followed was purely evil and with a mirthless sort of joy, "Maybe I'll take him instead..." he trailed off.

Probably because the woman bared her teeth at him in a feral way, "You aren't laying a finger on him." she hissed. Followed by a book flying his way. Enough to smack the wall and probably awaken the fiance that was asleep at her side. When she next looked, Skeletor was gone. That at least eased her a bit.

After a moment though she felt exhausted, her eyes welling with tears as she turned over to curl into Elazar and cry.

It was going to be a long day.
