As he fell to the ground, he called out to her. "Amelia! Help me! Please don't leave me like this, I need you." Amelia turned and smiled a wide, but scary smile.
She said nothing. As she coldly and calmly walked away.
Leaving Ryan, on the ground, unable to move. The intensity of his pain was unbearable. The blood was pouring out of him. "When will this stop" he thought. Silent tears rolled down his cheeks. He was a real man's man, but when it came to his emotions, his sensitivity would always get the better of him.
For he was a man of true feeling.
As the night air, slowly grow colder, he recalled their life together in happier times.
Those precious memories, they still meant something to him. Ryan couldn't help, but still love Amelia. Even after all that she had done to him.
He still thought lovingly, of the woman he know before, the one who was sweet and caring. The women who he originally fell for. All those years ago.
Sadly now, he did not recognise her, because she had changed.
Bringing himself, back to the present moment, he looked around. To try and see if he could find something just to help him, to stop the bleeding, but there was nothing.
"Why, has she done this to me? " he asked himself.
As the morning hours came closer, he could slowly feel himself slipping away.
In the following days the newspaper headline read... " Man found in the forest, attacked and left with multiple stab wounds."
When Amelia's best friend saw the paper she knew instantly, who was responsible for the situation.
"Oh my God,
It's happened again!" She said out loud.
