"Death is an ugly truth"
"Life is a beautiful lie"
"But you know what they say"
"One day everyone has to die"
An hour had passed when suddenly Julia heard a noise. She looked where the noise came from and couldn't believe her eyes. Outside the window stood Leo. He came inside the room and ran upto Julia
"What are you doing here?"Julia asked him when he placed his index finger on her pink lips telling her to be quiet. He took out a key from his pocket and unlocked the chains which had prisoned Julia's feet. He then went ahead and used a knife to cut the ropes which held her hands together. As soon as he did that Julia hugged him tight. Her tears streamed down her cheeks and fell on his shirt.
"I thought that i will lose you"her trembling lips said
"Ssh don't worry everythings fine"Leo had only said this when the meaning of his sentence reversed and they heard footsteps coming down.
"Come on now we need to hurry" Both of them got out from the window and were trying their best not to come in anybody's sight. They had just walked a little distance from Walter's mansion when out of nowhere
"Shoot him!" a loud male voice shouted and then sounds of gunshots were heard in the area. Two bullets which were for Leo were shot but both didn't hit him. One missed the target and one of the bullets went into Julia's leg making her fall down.
"You idiot!" Walter turned to his man and took the gun from his hands. He shot the bullet straight into his head returning his soul back to its creator. By that time both Julia and Leo had vanished from their eyes and Walter stomped his foot on the ground in anger.
Leo took Julia in his arms. Her leg was bleeding and eyes were fixed on Leo who was carrying her. Leo ran at his fastest with Julia in his arms. He would have taken her to a hospital if there were any near but since there wasn't even a small one there her mansion was the only place to go. Leo quickly reached her mansion with Julia in his arms. The guards were shocked to see their young miss in such a horrible state and quickly opened the gate. Leo took Julia inside only to find a maid who gasped when she saw her young miss's bleeding leg
"Aah miss Julia!" the maid whose name was Chloe shrieked
"Wait i will call doctor Lee"she quickly took her phone and dialed the number
"Don't worry miss they will be here soon" Chloe said putting the phone back.Leo placed Julia on the couch when she turned to Chloe and asked
"W..where is father?"
"Sir was gone to his brother's house. It was his own request as he was stressed about you. But miss Julia how did this happen!?" the maid inquired but her question was ignored
"Leo"she said his name is a low tone making her boyfriend come near her to hear what she wanted to say
"I need water" this was told to Leo but the maid heard it first and rushed to the kitchen to get a glass of water for her wounded miss.
"Here" the maid handed Leo a glass of cold water and he helped Julia to drink it. The water did quench her thirst but she started to feel a severe pain in her body which increased with every passing second. She groaned in pain and started coughing. Blood coming out of her mouth.
"JULIA Julia!?"Leo placed her head in his lap
Julia couldn't understand the situation but she made a guess that any second death will come to meet her and her time in the world had been completed. She didn't want to die as she had dreamt of acheiving so much in this life but if this was what was written in her fate then who was she to fight with it. She remembered all her memories and time which she spent with Leo and soon darkness came before her eyes taking her away from the world.
Julia didn't remain any longer in the world. Her soul didn't remain and all that lied inside her were taken from the world and brought to its master. Her soul,her moments of joy her happiness and the pain which she felt in her last moments all dissapeared from the world. Death is the fate of every living organism and noone can outrun it. Death won't take money or power but instead it would take the pure or the corrupted souls to the heaven or the hell where it would stay permanently with all the other souls which left the world before it did. Julia was included in those souls and soon was to be taken to the place where she belonged but
"What if that place wasn't heaven or hell?"
