TW: $u¡c¡de (it's based on Romeo and Juliet)

Eliza lay still on the bed, her face one of beauty. Her eyes were shut and her hair was gently laid beneath her, creating a pillow. She looked so peaceful and full of life, yet so lifeless.

Kyra's eyes widened with shock as she stared at the body. "Oh gosh Eliza. Why? Why you? Why did God have to take your life?"

She was unaware of the plan as she had never been told so when she heard that her beloved Eliza was dead, she rushed over to the tomb to see for herself. And despite it being right infront of her, she still struggled to believe it.

Tears rushed to the brim of her eyes as she silently wiped them away, running her thumb over Eliza's stone cold cheek, gently stroking it. "I cannot believe you are truly gone" her warm tears slowly dripped onto Eliza's cold body, soaking into her skin. She brushed Eliza's hair from her shut eyes, admiring her beauty one last time: her tanned skin, her beautiful long lashes, her curly brown hair that always bounced on her shoulders. She was like a painting. And she was her painting.

Her hands shaking and her breath shallow, she slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out a small vile of poison. As soon as she heard about Eliza's death, she ran to the closest apothecary, knowing that she couldn't go on without her in her life, without her soft kisses and warm embraces. So she purchased a vile of poison and rushed over to the tomb so she could die happily, knowing she would be with the one she loved for eternity.

"We'll be again together soon my love" she whispered into Eliza's ears before placing one last gentle kiss on the forehead and bringing the poison to her lips. Gently grabbing Eliza's hand in hers and intertwining their fingers, she shut her eyes as the poison swam through her veins. Life left her body as she fell limp, slumped against the bed Eliza lay on.

Just as Kyra's life left her body, life returned to Eliza's as she gently sat up, letting out a small yawn. Her eyes slowly opened as she glanced around, expecting to see her saviour beside her, ready to whisk her off her feet so the two could run away together. But that wasn't the sight she was met with.

Her eyebrows furrowed when she was unable to see Kyra at first but then she felt soft, scaled fingers wrapped around hers. She gasped and glanced down at Kyra's lifeless body. She jumped down and knelt beside her, tears brimming her eyes. "Oh Kyra, what have you done? We were going to run away together! It was going to be us forever. If only your instincts hadn't got the best of you. Oh but that is what I love about you. I promise we will be together, forever. Even if that is in death"

Tears were streaming down her cheek at this point, a few drops sliding down Kyra's scales. One of them hit the vile with a small clank and Eliza glanced at the vile then back at Kyra. "Poison? Was that the cause of this? Then let me kiss your sweet lips one last time so that I may share the poison"

Her mind racing with thoughts, she cupped Kyra's face in her hands, gently stroking her cheek with her thumb as she closed her eyes and planted a kiss on her lips. But it seemed to be a pointless gesture as no poison was shared. Eliza kissed her again and again, savouring each moment yet also wishing she would die but fate was not in her favour.

Defeated, she slumped down beside Kyra, their fingers still intertwined. She let out a deep sigh, realising it was pointless. That was when she spotted it out of the corner of her eye. A dagger in it's sheath by Kyra's side, glistening bright like Kyra's eyes and tempting Eliza to use it. She carefully removed it, her hands starting to shake. She took one last look at Kyra, kissing her forehead.

"I'll see you again soon my love" she whispered sweetly as she plunged the dagger into her heart and her lifeless body fell next to Kyra's.

And so the two were together for the rest of eternity, if only in death.
