@gracie-j. Apparently, my reply didn’t go through. š¤¦š»āāļø But anywho, OH YES THEY WILL! (no one will lay a finger on Ezra and Eva or they might end up dead, tbh) Aww, thanks! I love the three of them! Such good friends to Ezra! ššš (oh, btw, Abelard is Aadelheide’s older brother. Just a way of connecting the books. š Can’t remember if I mentioned that before. š š)

*Screeeeeeeeeeeech*
(Just to be sure.) Did you just say that Abelard is Aadelheideās older brother? Like, Leon’s wife, Aadelheide?! So Abelard would be Leon’s brother in-law?!
Or am I pretty totally and completely confused? That’s possible too.
Oh, and the scene was fantastic! I loved it and definitely need the rest!!! š (Like, soon?) š
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

@elishavet-pidyon. The VERY SAME! š Yep, Abelard is Leon’s brother-in-law. Uncle Abelard to Leon’s kids. š
Aww, thank you! š (I’ll try to get the rest written, and soon, for y’all. XD)

@elishavet-pidyon. @gracie-j. @koshka. Here’s the promised ending! š Took me long enough. XD I wanted it to be good! š
āStay down, half-breed. Thatās an order.ā Zach snarled, the alcohol in his breath stinging Ezraās eyes.
Breath heavy, arms, face, and stomach aching from the blows heād already received, Ezra stood, ignoring the pain. āNever.ā
He swung, and Zach, in stunned surprise, didnāt move. Ezraās fist connected with his gut. Zach groaned, but some unseen force, likely the alcohol, kept him on his feet.
āWhy youā¦ā And Zach called him some of the worst things Ezra had ever heard come out of someoneās lips.
And that was really saying something.
Ezra had heard a lot.
Before he could duck, Zach made a lung at Ezraās head.
Bright light.
Aching pain.
A groan.
And Ezra sank to the ground of the alley.
āGot yourself into another scrape? You know youāre supposed to be careful, Ezra.ā
His sister Margaretās voice in his head reminded Ezra, once again, of the family heād hurt. So, so much.
Zach punched him again.
And again.
And Ezra did nothing to defend himself.
He didnāt mind the pain.
No.
He craved the pain.
Made all the thoughtsā¦the regretsā¦the guiltā¦go away. Even if it was only for a moment.
āHey! Lay off!ā Ezra opened his eyes. Zach readied another punch, when he was pulled away, cussing the entire way.
āWatch your mouth, pilot.ā
āā¦Curtis? I thought you werenāt-ā
āThe war needed me back.ā Curtis replied, getting down onto one knee beside Ezra.
Abelard tried to hold Zach still.
Zach got out of his grip. āCare so much about the black boy, do you? You wanna keep him safe, Jerry? You must really be betraying us nowā¦ā
Zach pulled out a pistol. Ezra forced himself to his feet even though Curtis protested.
āDonāt do anything youāll regret, Zachā¦ā Yoshua warned, narrowing his eyes.
Zach chuckled. āOh, I wonātā¦ā
He went, fast. Grabbed Eva, who almost screamed when Zach covered her mouth.
In his other handā¦he lifted the pistol.
Pressed it against the side of Evaās head.
She cried out.
Zachās grip on her tightened.
āDo anything and the German girl gets it.ā
~*~
Now she was held.
Helpless against the strong grip that held her tight.
Eva watched Ezra.
Tears filled her eyes at the sight of the blood on his faceā¦his armsā¦handsā¦his entire body, she was sure.
She even saw some in his hair.
āOh Jesus, help us.ā
āLet her go, Zach. Now.ā Jameson ordered.
āWhy should I?ā
āLet her goā¦now.ā Ezra snarled; his Southern drawl low. Oh, Zach was in for it.
āNever.ā
Ezra took another step. āLet her go. Iām the one you want.ā
Zach smirked. āSure. But Iām sure she would suffice.ā
He pressed the cold barrel of his gun harder against Evaās forehead.
She held back a cry.
āLet me go. Donāt tell anyone you saw anything, and Iāll let her go. Otherwise, wellā¦weād have a bloody mess on our hands. Literally.ā Zach snarled, wobbling a bit.
The alcohol in his breath stung Evaās eyes and throat.
āLet. Her. Go.ā Ezra ordered.
Zach smiled. āI suppose youāve made your decisions then.ā
The pistol cocked. Eva screamed.
She felt herself hit the ground.
Some pain shot from her head.
āGrab him!ā
She heard a pistol hit the ground.
Eva slowly opened one eye, expecting to see Light.
She smelled wool.
Heaven didnāt smell like woolā¦did it?
Orā¦orā¦well, most definitely not.
Eva smelled blood.
She wasnāt in Heaven.
She wasā¦she was alive!
But that meantā¦Eva almost jumped to her feet.
Jameson had Zach pinned to the ground. Zach was struggling, trying to escape, but he stood no chance against Jameson, especially drunk.
Jameson pinned him down harder. āKeep struggling and trying to escape. See what happens.ā
Zach snarled a curse at him.
āAnd donāt you dare try to hurt anyone else, or youāre going to meet your maker tonight.ā
Eva felt a hand on her shoulder. āEva, are you okay? Iām so sorry. We should have protected you better.ā Curtis whispered.
āIāmā¦Iām fine. Whatā¦?ā
She stopped. Gasped.
Ezra gave her a lopsided grin. āHello Eva.ā
There was a hole in his dress uniform jacket.
Blood.
āEzraā¦youā¦youā¦ā
āHad to return the favorā¦ā
āI didnātā¦I neverā¦I never saved your life.ā Eva whispered, tears coursing down her cheeks.
Yoshua was trying to staunch the blood flow. He turned to Curtis. āHurry. Go get a medic, a physician, a nurse, someone.ā
Curtis nodded and rushed off.
Abelard was already missing.
āAbelardās getting some MP to deal with Zach. Ezra, hold on, will you?ā
āIām trying Yosh. Tryingā¦Iāmā¦tryingā¦this hurts somethinā fierce.ā
Eva leaned in close. āEzraā¦I never saved your lifeā¦ā
Ezra glanced at her.
Gave her a small, soft, sweet smile. āEvaā¦you save my life every day.ā
More tears fell.
āYou convinced meā¦convince me every dayā¦that life is still worth livinā. I-I was ready toā¦ready to give up. On all of it. But-but thenā¦you cameā¦ā Ezra smiled, āand changed my mind.ā
Eva didnāt let him say more.
She leaned close.
And kissed him.
Didnāt care that there was blood on his lips.
Didnāt care that Yoshua was watching.
She only knew one thing.
She loved him.
With every fiber of her being.
āYouāre going to be okay, Ezraā¦ā She whispered, pulling away from the kiss.
He gave her a smile. āā¦Weāll all be, ma’am.ā
She nodded. Smiled.
Leaned in close.
And their lips met.

Ezraā¦
*broken-hearted sniffles*
And Iām with @koshka on this oneā¦ Itās good Ezraās attackers are fictionalā¦ XDXD
August 30, 2022 at 5:42 pm #116362@freedomwriter76
Ezra glanced at her.
Gave her a small, soft, sweet smile. āEvaā¦you save my life every day.ā
THOSE LINES.
IāM DEAD. YOUāVE OFFICIALLY KILLED ME.
GOODBYE.
Yeah, those were pretty greatā¦

Eewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I quote Viktor.
Did they just…
kiss?
*retches into trash can*
Just teasing. š Although that was my reaction to the last little bit, especially the last sentence, there were a lot of reactions packed into that scene. It got rather tense.
And I love the dialogue! And that Ezra took the bullet for Eva.
To essence quote a friend’s character, love is built on trust… It’s taking an arrow for him, and knowing he’ll take one for you.
The context is a wee bit different, but hey, it fits. š
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

@gracie-j. @elishavet-pidyon. @koshka. @lydia-s. @queen_of_alvastia. This one isn’t a full scene, but I wanted to share this snippet. š (@queen_of_alvastia I know you’ll love it especially. XD)
āAnd if they all came to Christā¦wouldnāt it be wonderful if we could show the rest of Japan and even America what it means to be brothers and sisters in love?ā Michael grinned. āAnd then maybe we could-ā
āCan we talk about something else, Michael?ā
Michael blinked. Once.
Twice.
āUhmā¦okay? Asher talks about it just as excited as me. I thought you would beā¦wellā¦ā
āThe same? News flash, Michael, Iām not my older brother.ā Jayden interrupted. He regretted the bitterness in his tone immediately, but at the same time, he wouldnāt apologize for it, either. āAsher has that faith. That trust. That belief. I donāt. If you havenāt figured that out by now. This placeā¦this warā¦itās horrible. They took your arm, Michael, for crying out loud. How could a good, loving God let you lose your arm?ā
āHe could have let me die instead. But he didnāt. Iām thankful for that. And nowā¦Iāve devoted my life to him. Iāve finally found hope, Jayden. Hope that I could never find before. But nowā¦I have it. All because of God.ā
August 31, 2022 at 1:07 pm #116408@freedomwriter76
I am being 100% serious. I have actual literal tears on my face as of this moment….
*WAILING*
JAYDEN!!!!
*sniff*
AND MICHAEL!!! š„°š„°šš
*why do you do these things to my heart*
Does Jayden come to faith later? I MUST KNOW!
