This is for a contest....just thought I would give it a try. REVIEW PLEASE:)
Darkness engulfed him as he walked down the long passageway. His heart raced, beating rapidly against his chest. He could barely slow it down. Mosi looked back and forth between the cells. Searching…looking for the right one. He stopped, finding cover in the shadows. A Cyth stood at the end of the passage. The creature looked around, tilting his head slightly listening. Mosi struggled to slow down his heart, he needed to focus. He had to find her, the one who changed him. The one in the cell numbered 4815.
After a few moments silence, the Cyth turned down another passage. Mosi quickly went back to work only this time moving faster down the halls. Taking a turn, he finally found it. Cell 4815. Its door did not have a window like the others. It was solid, able to keep out the screams from its prisoners. Mosi pulled out a small golden key and pushed it into the keyhole. Turning it cautiously, Mosi jumped as the lock clicked open. The sound seemed to echo through the long hall alerting everyone in the dungeon that someone was escaping that a forbidden door was opening for the first time. Taking a deep breath Mosi pushed the cold door open.
Gasparina was hanging from the ceiling. Her eyes closed, blood oozed freely from her wounds. The shackles wrapped around her wrists, holding her in place, their grip tightening every time she moved. Mosi rushed to the wheel on the wall and brought her down.
Her legs could not hold her, Gasparina collapsed to the ground unconscious. Mosi ran to her side and unshackled her. Holding her in his arms, he caressed her face.
He had never told her how much he cared for her. He always said it after she had her back turned. Once she was gone he whispered the three words that where reserved for her ears alone. Her eyes flickered open, she took a deep breathe but winced at the pain it caused her.
“Mosi?” He could scarcely hear her. Her voice was but a whisper, barely audible.
He smiled weakly at her, holding her hand. “Yes, I’m getting you out of this God-forsaken place.”
Mosi moved towards the door keeping her close to him. He wasn’t going to lose her. Not now, not here. They moved quietly through the halls. A Cyth appeared in front of them, his sword drawn. Mosi place Gasparina gently on the floor unsheathing his weapon. This creature was not going to stop him.
The sound of metal on metal erupted in the dungeon. The Cyth was skilled and seemed to have no weak points. Mosi struggled to keep up with him, whenever an opportunity appeared to slice the creatures head off the Cyth would block him. Finally! Mosi cut the Cyth’s abdomen, the creature fell the ground. He would heal soon, he had to act quickly. Mosi aimed and swiftly took the Cyth’s head off.
He returned to Gasparina’s side, he went to pick her up but she stopped him, holding his arm weakly. “Mosi...” She gasped for air, “I’m not going to make it. Leave me, get out of here!” Her breathing quickened. She did not have long.
Mosi knelt beside her, tears filled his eyes. “No…no.” He shook his head, squeezing her hand softly. “You can’t leave…not again.”
She smiled trying to reassure him. “We will see each other again-“ Her heart stopped, she couldn’t breathe. Mosi held her close, his tears landing on her face as she struggled for air. Just moments later the life left her. Her body relaxed in Mosi’s arms.
He leaned over and whispered lightly in her ear, “I love you.” She was gone again and he had missed his chance.
