Prologue

The only thing you could hear were sirens. Louder blue, red and yellow tones could be seen. At that time, my hands were still full of blood. With your blood. It was peaceful at first, we laughed, talked like there was all the time in the world and the next moment you were dead. If I had paid more attention, you would certainly have been still alive or I would have been at the place now. Dead. I can still remember when you said to me,

"I'm glad you exist Saphir"

I just smiled,

"I'm also happy to be friends with you Scorpio"

You chicled. Your black hair with the red tips blew gently through the wind, your red eyes only shone with bliss and your smile shone like the moon on the horizon. You just looked at me and the next moment there were several shots. Screaming. The fear was written on your face. You just looked at me, muttering something. And the next moment you tilted backwards, blood coming out of the corner of your mouth. You landed in my arms and smiled loudly. You were shot, I desperately tried to stop the bleeding, instead of listening to you and then you closed your eyes and died. In my arms. I felt the warmth disappear in you. How you got colder and colder and then the sirens could be heard. In such a short time, our happiness turned in just a few seconds. Horrified, I looked at your corpse, at the person with whom I wrote letters for 2 years. Without knowing who you were in reality. A month ago we finally met, I wish we had seen each other earlier. Scorpio why? Why did it have to come this far? My heart broke into thousands of smaller pieces. There was blood on my hands, her blood. It was so much that I no longer had an overview. For me, the world broke. Only now I took the sirens was. Two paramedics came up to me. And they wanted to take you,

"NO! NOPE!! Burden us in peace!”

I didn't want to let you go at that time, I don't want to to this day. That was much too early. The paramedics were finally able to separate us...

“Hey, you must be Saphirriver. Isn't it?”,

I just nodded and didn't even look up.

"My condolences, you two were close, didn't you?"

The person asked again.

"That's what we did. Yes..",

I just muttered. I continued to look down and was shocked. Anger, revenge, fear and despair overtunned me.

"Why did it have to come to this? I wish I could see her again...”

"I can understand you well, promise me one thing, if you see her again to protect her until the end of your life"

"I would promise him if she was alive.."

"Well, that's how it should be,"

I had only been staring at the floor the whole conversation, this was a damn big mistake. Unfortunately, I still don't know who I talked to at the time... Because the person left before I looked up. On that day there were fourteen deaths, eight seriously injured and one who got away with it safely. And that one person was me. I Saphirriver, 23, was 17 at the time when this happened, because her death was already six years ago and I still feel the cold till this day.
