Eva woke up and looked around. She remembered dying during day but now here it wall all dark. She stood up and turned. She saw her body in Damon's arms and he had a kind of grief and painful expression. The melancholy seemed real but Eva knew that the man was fake. She recognized this place as the dead world and being a Phoenix she will soon be returning back. She knew that she had less time so she started walking ignoring Damon and her body. She reached near the house where blood was all spilled. She could see the blood in utter darkness. The dead world was bleak, silent and horrifying.
The winds were strong here and it felt painful. Clouds of melancholy were always up and thunder was dominating. She knew that she will be meeting ghosts that can tear her down but Eva had to meet Max. She tried peeping in every room. The first room where she saw the body of the woman cut from her throat was here. She was looking down at her baby who was dead and still crying. Her neck was bleeding and her eyes bulged up.
Emotions were not a part of this world or the mother would have responded to the crying baby. She suddenly looked up at Eva and Eva got scared.She at once turned to run and saw Arya. She recognized that she had stepped on her body right at this spot. Arya looked angry as her throat was bleeding too.
Her arm was numb half broken and still was able to move. Pain was not a part of this world too.
" you witch.... I will make you suffer ", Arya said as she walked towards Eva.
Eva at once turned and ran, she knew she can't hurt a dead in any way while she remains the only vulnerable piece here who is not even dead and not even alive. While she was running, she saw the laughing head of the baby amongst the wooden boundaries. It was just the head half stuck between boundaries and bleeding half. He was laughing like he has gone mad.
The blood was everywhere and Eva was making her best not to puke. Her mind was wobbling and she controlled herself and ran. She looked everywhere and was not able to find Max. She wanted to talk to him and was desperate. Tears rolled down through her cheecks as she was feeling helpless. She sat down on ground which actually didn't feel like ground. It was a boiling ground which didn't actually burn. Eva realized that this place was surely not peace and was definitely hell.
She started thinking about Max, her memories were now a trauma for her making her burst into tears. She thought about the beautiful moments spent with Max and the mountain and the beautiful lake. At once while Eva was thinking all about this when she stood up. She realized that she hasn't yet seen in the mountains.
She started running without thinking much because she had very less time left now. Eva ran and the place where she had blended slowly started healing.She realized that her Phoenix capabilities was taking over. She climbed the mountains and reached the lake. There he was.
Max was all covered in cuts. Just the way his dead body was. He had bleeding chest and even the broken ribs. He was still standing straight looking at the sky that depicted thunder and grief. Eva slowly walked towards him and said,
" I am sorry"
Her voice choked because she had no words. She was trying to grasp air as the half broken face of Max turned to looks at her. He had tears in his eyes. He was in an endless grief that he was unable to save his pack from dying.
" Eva ...?", he sounded concerned.
" what are you doing here?", he said.
" I wanted to see you", Eva answered.
Her voice was breaking and she was still lagging words. She had a lot to say yet nothing to describe. The tears flew from her eyes and Max came forward. He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead,
" you have already hurt yourself a lot Eva. Thanks for bringing Arya back. Thanks for proving your love and I am sorry for letting you go... for abandoning you.", Max said.
His voice broke with every word. He inserted his hand in her hairs and looked deeply to her.
" I... I love you and I am sorry but I never stopped loving you , he said.
Eva gave her a tearful smile and jumped to kiss him. That was a passionate kiss filled with pain and a last kiss before the final separation.
" I will always love you Max", Eva said
Max nodded and saw Eva fainting slowly. He held her hand and said,
" You are leaving... I just want you to know that you have always held a special place in my heart and I wnat this last favor from you"
Eva nodded and let him continue,
" I have hid a child in my room under bed. He will be the last of our pack. Please take care of him"
Eva nodded crying,
" I will ... I promise ", she said.
Max pulled her at once and burst his lips against her before Eva disappeared....
The Phoenix was back to life.....
