This was worse than any pain a demon could inflict. The love of my life has just betrayed me. My heart was tearing. This isn't true. It has to be a lie. The blade through my gut stings, but the tears running down my lovers face stings more.

"Little flame..." I whisper out, my hands around their blade still lodged in my stomach. I could feel the way their hands tremble as they hold the sword. Blood drips down my chin, falling to the ground beneath me.
