      @gracie-j. Apparently, my reply didn’t go through. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø 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! šŸ’–šŸ’–šŸ’– (oh, btw, Abelard is Aadelheide’s older brother. Just a way of connecting the books. šŸ˜œ Can’t remember if I mentioned that before. šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚)

        *Screeeeeeeeeeeech*

        (Just to be sure.) Did you just say that Abelard is Aadelheideā€™s 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!!! šŸ˜‰ (Like, soon?) šŸ˜‰

        You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

          @elishavet-pidyon. The VERY SAME! šŸ˜€ Yep, Abelard is Leon’s brother-in-law. Uncle Abelard to Leon’s kids. šŸ˜‰

          Aww, thank you! šŸ™‚ (I’ll try to get the rest written, and soon, for y’all. XD)

              @elishavet-pidyon. @gracie-j. @koshka. Here’s the promised ending! šŸ˜€ Took me long enough. XD I wanted it to be good! šŸ˜‰

              ā€œStay down, half-breed. Thatā€™s an order.ā€ Zach snarled, the alcohol in his breath stinging Ezraā€™s eyes.

              Breath heavy, arms, face, and stomach aching from the blows heā€™d already received, Ezra stood, ignoring the pain. ā€œNever.ā€

              He swung, and Zach, in stunned surprise, didnā€™t move. Ezraā€™s fist connected with his gut. Zach groaned, but some unseen force, likely the alcohol, kept him on his feet.

              ā€œWhy youā€¦ā€ And Zach called him some of the worst things Ezra had ever heard come out of someoneā€™s lips.

              And that was really saying something.

              Ezra had heard a lot.

              Before he could duck, Zach made a lung at Ezraā€™s head.

              Bright light.

              Aching pain.

              A groan.

              And Ezra sank to the ground of the alley.

              ā€œGot yourself into another scrape? You know youā€™re supposed to be careful, Ezra.ā€

              His sister Margaretā€™s voice in his head reminded Ezra, once again, of the family heā€™d hurt. So, so much.

              Zach punched him again.

              And again.

              And Ezra did nothing to defend himself.

              He didnā€™t 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.

              ā€œHey! Lay off!ā€ Ezra opened his eyes. Zach readied another punch, when he was pulled away, cussing the entire way.

              ā€œWatch your mouth, pilot.ā€

              ā€œā€¦Curtis? I thought you werenā€™t-ā€œ

              ā€œThe 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. ā€œCare 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.

              ā€œDonā€™t do anything youā€™ll regret, Zachā€¦ā€ Yoshua warned, narrowing his eyes.

              Zach chuckled. ā€œOh, I wonā€™tā€¦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 Evaā€™s head.

              She cried out.

              Zachā€™s grip on her tightened.

              ā€œDo 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.

              ā€˜Oh Jesus, help us.ā€™

              ā€œLet her go, Zach. Now.ā€ Jameson ordered.

              ā€œWhy should I?ā€

              ā€œLet her goā€¦now.ā€ Ezra snarled; his Southern drawl low. Oh, Zach was in for it.

              ā€œNever.ā€

              Ezra took another step. ā€œLet her go. Iā€™m the one you want.ā€

              Zach smirked. ā€œSure. But Iā€™m sure she would suffice.ā€

              He pressed the cold barrel of his gun harder against Evaā€™s forehead.

              She held back a cry.

              ā€œLet me go. Donā€™t tell anyone you saw anything, and Iā€™ll let her go. Otherwise, wellā€¦weā€™d have a bloody mess on our hands. Literally.ā€ Zach snarled, wobbling a bit.

              The alcohol in his breath stung Evaā€™s eyes and throat.

              ā€œLet. Her. Go.ā€ Ezra ordered.

              Zach smiled. ā€œI suppose youā€™ve made your decisions then.ā€

              The pistol cocked. Eva screamed.

              She felt herself hit the ground.

              Some pain shot from her head.

              ā€œGrab him!ā€

              She heard a pistol hit the ground.

              Eva slowly opened one eye, expecting to see Light.

              She smelled wool.

              Heaven didnā€™t smell like woolā€¦did it?

              Orā€¦orā€¦well, most definitely not.

              Eva smelled blood.

              She wasnā€™t 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. ā€œKeep struggling and trying to escape. See what happens.ā€

              Zach snarled a curse at him.

              ā€œAnd donā€™t you dare try to hurt anyone else, or youā€™re going to meet your maker tonight.ā€

              Eva felt a hand on her shoulder. ā€œEva, are you okay? Iā€™m so sorry. We should have protected you better.ā€ Curtis whispered.

              ā€œIā€™mā€¦Iā€™m fine. Whatā€¦?ā€

              She stopped. Gasped.

              Ezra gave her a lopsided grin. ā€œHello Eva.ā€

              There was a hole in his dress uniform jacket.

              Blood.

              ā€œEzraā€¦youā€¦youā€¦ā€

              ā€œHad to return the favorā€¦ā€

              ā€œI didnā€™tā€¦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. ā€œHurry. Go get a medic, a physician, a nurse, someone.ā€

              Curtis nodded and rushed off.

              Abelard was already missing.

              ā€œAbelardā€™s getting some MP to deal with Zach. Ezra, hold on, will you?ā€

              ā€œIā€™m trying Yosh. Tryingā€¦Iā€™mā€¦tryingā€¦this hurts somethinā€™ fierce.ā€

              Eva leaned in close. ā€œEzraā€¦I never saved your lifeā€¦ā€

              Ezra glanced at her.

              Gave her a small, soft, sweet smile. ā€œEvaā€¦you save my life every day.ā€

              More tears fell.

              ā€œYou 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, ā€œand changed my mind.ā€

              Eva didnā€™t let him say more.

              She leaned close.

              And kissed him.

              Didnā€™t care that there was blood on his lips.

              Didnā€™t care that Yoshua was watching.

              She only knew one thing.

              She loved him.

              With every fiber of her being.

              ā€œYouā€™re going to be okay, Ezraā€¦ā€ She whispered, pulling away from the kiss.

              He gave her a smile. ā€œā€¦Weā€™ll all be, ma’am.ā€

              She nodded. Smiled.

              Leaned in close.

              And their lips met.

                    Ezra glanced at her.

                    Gave her a small, soft, sweet smile. ā€œEvaā€¦you save my life every day.ā€

                    THOSE LINES.

                      Eewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

                      I quote Viktor.

                      Did they just…

                      kiss?

                      *retches into trash can*

                      Just teasing. šŸ˜‰ 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. šŸ˜‰

                      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. šŸ˜‰ (@queen_of_alvastia I know you’ll love it especially. XD)

                          ā€œAnd if they all came to Christā€¦wouldnā€™t 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. ā€œAnd then maybe we could-ā€œ

                          ā€œCan we talk about something else, Michael?ā€

                          Michael blinked. Once.

                          Twice.

                          ā€œUhmā€¦okay? Asher talks about it just as excited as me. I thought you would beā€¦wellā€¦ā€

                          ā€œThe same? News flash, Michael, Iā€™m not my older brother.ā€ Jayden interrupted. He regretted the bitterness in his tone immediately, but at the same time, he wouldnā€™t apologize for it, either. ā€œAsher has that faith. That trust. That belief. I donā€™t. If you havenā€™t figured that out by now. This placeā€¦this warā€¦itā€™s horrible. They took your arm, Michael, for crying out loud. How could a good, loving God let you lose your arm?ā€

                          ā€œHe could have let me die instead. But he didnā€™t. Iā€™m thankful for that. And nowā€¦Iā€™ve devoted my life to him. Iā€™ve finally found hope, Jayden. Hope that I could never find before. But nowā€¦I have it. All because of God.ā€
