Last Night. [spoiler]It began with a mass exodus,Attacks on the city became so frequent and widespread nowhere was safe. People attempted to flee, some in organised groups, others just upped and left in the middle of the night. Romii and Luke had been two of the last to leave their apartment in the slums. Luke had carefully prepared a pack each , containing essentials easily carried . Romii being four years younger just did her best not to be a burden. Luke had looked after Romii like a big brother after her parents had died 7 years before. He'd gone out got a job, put food on the table and clothes on her back. Having been raised on the streets he had promised her she would never have to sell herself and he'd taught her how to fight. Romii in turn loved Luke, was in love with him, but she knew he'd never see her that way, she'd always be 'that little girl' to him. But they were inseparable and together they would take on the world. Only the war came,so they packed up and followed on behind the other lost and homeless. Months later came the night everything changed. Luke took first watch whilst Romii slept ,during which a man approached,he looked tired and broken, he asked if he could share the Fire and Luke agreed. The man spoke of his family and how he lost them, the stupidity of the war and how unfair it all was. As those last words left his mouth he pulled a knife, looking at Luke he demanded he turn everything over including the girl. Romii awoke to hear Luke telling the guy to go to hell, enraged the man lunged, only instead of Luke he found Romii between them ,her blade drawn and it's too late for him to step back, his momentum drove her blade into his chest , she gave it a final shove and he fell back shock etched into his face. Romii walked over to the very dead man ,put her foot onto his chest and yanked out her blade,wiping it clean on the mans shirt. Together they moved the body, when it finally dawned on her Luke had been staring at her for quite sometime ,she looked at him and her cheeks began to burn as she blushed. He walked over to her saying nothing, he put his hand on her cheek and they kissed. It was warm and soft and she felt his breath on her lips. Tears run down her cheeks as she remembers that moment. Searing the memory into her brain. Romii is sitting on the cold concrete floor of a cellar, she looks up at the fading light coming through the tiny window near the ceiling. They had been forced here to seek shelter from another fire fight but they had been slow, and bombs had dropped trapping them, no one was coming now, there was no one to hear her cries. She turns to where they spent the night, Luke is still lying there looking like he has not a care in the world,she crawls in beside him laying her head on his chest and closes her eyes, if she tries hard enough she can hear the sound of his heart beat,she can recall the taste of his mouth and the warmth of his touch, if she tries hard enough, she can pretend he's not gone., .
