Chapter 33- What Happens Next

Freddy's POV
The imposter throws a dagger fast at Kora.
"Watch out Kora!" I yell, but a second too late.
Kora's eyes widen as the dagger slices her forehead, shocking her into falling backwards and hitting her head on the bed frame. She's out cold after a second.
I fume, furious at the man or whatever this imposter is who just hurt my girlfriend. I lunge at him, swinging my fists left and right. One hits his jaw and I hear a crack. There's blood dribbling out of the corner of its mouth now, but I don't stop. I drive my fist into the imposter's stomach. And then he's gone.
     I quickly run over to Kora's side, turning pale at what I find. There's a puddle of blood around her head, oozing from the cut on her forehead. And I think she also might have a concussion.
Where was the last place I saw May? I think. She was at a... bakery! I try to remember what the bakery looked like. I pick Kora up, holding her like a baby and I zap to the bakery. I just hope I'm not too late.
     A fraction of a second later, were there and I spot May, dozing off on top of a countertop.
"May! Wake up, it's an emergency!" I shout.
May tumbles off the counter with a thud.
"Oww!" she yips, rubbing her head. Then she spots Kora in my arms.
She rushes over, probably to assess the damage.
"Put her on the counter!" she orders, calmly.
I set Kora down and take a step back, but I keep holding her hand.
I hear May muttering as she grabs a napkin from a nearby dispenser. She wipes some of the blood off of Kora's forehead. I do the same, since there is a lot of blood. Then I remember the post card some girl named Victoria gave me.
"Uh May? I'm really sorry, I have to leave and get Autumn and Louis. This is urgent. I'll be right back. Take care of Kora for me please." I say. I don't want to leave her in this state but it's inevitable at the moment. May just nods.
I pull the folded postcard out of my pocket. Cabin. I think. I need to go to this cabin. And then I'm there.
Autumn is asleep on Louis's lap while he's watching her with affection in his eyes and playing with her hair. He looks at up me, bewildered.
"You need to come back with me," I whisper. "Kora is hurt."
He nods. I see him gently shake Autumn and then whisper something to her. Her blue eyes snap open immediately.
"What did you do to Kora?!" she shouts, leaping up off of Louis's lap. He just backs away, saying nothing.
"I didn't do anything... well, not the real me at least. I'll explain later, we have to leave right now!" I say.
Louis trudges over, grabbing one of my hands and Autumn grabs the other. And then we zap back to the bakery.
Kora is still on the counter, but now the blood has been all cleaned up. She has a nasty looking gash on her forehead which by the looks of it, May is trying to heal at this moment.
"You're back!" says May.
"Yep." Autumn replies in a monotone voice. She walks over to Kora, her head hanging low.
     "Well, I have some bad news for you guys..." says May. "Kora... she has a bad head injury. She may not make it. She lost a large amount of blood... I'm surprised that she's made it this long."
     I feel the tears welling up in my eyes. They stream down my cheeks, making salty little rivers of sorrow. I hold onto Kora, not letting go, sobbing into her shirt. Everyone else tries to comfort me but I push them away.
I know they mean to comfort me but I know it won't work so why waste the effort? All I really want is a hug from the one I love the most, not for her to die and leave me.
The feeling of being hugged by your loved one is irreplaceable, nothing will ever replace it. And I've found my loved one. If you believe in soulmates as I do, well, I've found her. And now I'm about to lose her after the short little time that we've been together. If I could go back in time and hug her one more time and tell her I love her, I would.
Autumn is sobbing into Louis's shoulder, he's hugging her tight. I envy their relationship, neither one of them has a chance of the other one dying at this moment. But then again with Louis and his injury from awhile back, that must've been scary. Now I know the feeling.
     I know Autumn won't do well if Kora is to die and if she does, I don't think I'd be staying here much longer.
All I want is to be hugged by Kora, kissed, whatever she wants. I would buy her gifts, do anything and everything for her.
My heart throbs in my chest. So this is what heartbreak feels like. Then I feel as if someone is ripping pieces of my heart out of my chest until the place where my heart once beat strong and steady is now replaced with a gaping hole that is an empty void. I gasp, clutching my chest, falling to my knees.
Of course, I'm not dead. It's just a feeling, but I guess Autumn wasn't lying when she said heartbreak hurt. Back in 8th grade when Louis was ignoring her, she said she felt heartbroken. And she described the feeling through sobs as what I just experienced.
Autumn comes to me now, tears falling from her eyes. She hugs me so hard that I think she'll never let go. I feel a tiny bit better but I know nothing but Kora will fix my broken heart. At least Autumn knows what it feels like.
"FREDDY!! Quick, come here!!" thunders May from next to Kora.
I stand up to where May is standing over Kora's still body. I shake Kora, sobbing, begging her to wake up for me. But I know that it's not going to happen, she won't wake up.
Her eyes flutter open, I clutch her to my chest, crying but now tears of joy.
"Freddy... I-I love y-you..." she trails off, her voice becoming quieter with every syllable.
"Kora? Kora please don't leave me!" I say, sobbing my sorrowful tears once again. But in my heart, I know it's too late. She's not coming back this time.
