• He hung there upon the wall with sorrow flooding his heart and causing blood stained tears to fall down his bruised face. It was all because of the love he had for her....the girl with the scarlet hair. He could hear a faint scurrying of a rat and watched as it scurried to his dieing flesh where it began to speak. "go to her....." then the rat scurried back to its hole in the stone wall fear deep within it's gaze. The man slowly slid his now rotting flesh and bone wrist through the heavy iron cuff. Then he pulled his almost dead ankle through it's cuff and drug himself as close to the cell door as his pathetic body would allow. He found the sharpest thing he could find and lodged it deep within his side as he screamed "someone help i am in need of medical attention". He groaned in pain as he plunged the wooden dagger deeper, he knew that the king wanted him to suffer slowly as he rotted in that cell so the guard would have to bring him to the infirmary. The hefty guard rushed in and scooped up the pile of rotting flesh the man had become and growled in disgust at him. the guard lifted the man onto his shoulder and started his heavy stride twords the cell door. They walked in the shadows never daring to face the sun. The guard hummed a sickly sweet tune as the man groaned in pain as every step the guard took the wooden dagger plunged deeper. Finally they reached the infirmary where their she sat. the girl with the scarlet hair. A sudden smile crawled upon his face as she sat there unaware of the pile of rotting flesh hat had entered the room. A sudden shriek left her lips as she gently peeled the body from the still humming guard who never seemed to mind the smell. As he laid there slowly dieing the girl frantically scurried around trying to find anything to help ease the pain holding her tears deep with in. the guard laughed as he finished the last of the pain killing rum she had on hand and then slowly rose from his perch and left the room. the mans rotting arm reached out and grabbed the woman as he softly spoke "Lucinna....remember that i love you" he said as his hand cupped her cheek. "No not now..... Gabriel please stay with me." she pleaded. "please i love you..." she sobbed as his hand fell from her face. She frantically did everything she could to save him but it was no use he had departed from the world. Lucinna sat there in tears gently gripping her stomach ware the now b*****d of a child laid still.
