June Holiday 4

"I promise that I would be back," assured Zac as he slowly let go off Denise's hands. He walked up the stairs and smiled at Denise before he board the airship. "I'll be waiting for you!" shouted Denise as she looked at her lover one more time.

It was a period when the two worlds were having war. All the young and strong men are summoned to protect their country while the others stay behind. Zac was one of them, summoned to be a soldier.

Denise watched as the airship departed. No one could ever predict if they will be back. But she believes, Zac will. They have been together long before the war started thus their love for each other was very strong.

At the battlefield, Zac and the other soldiers were already prepared to sacrifice their lives for their countries. Zac held his sword tightly, while his another hand, held the necklace Denise had gave him before he left tightly. "Charge!" as all the soldiers ran forward and fought bravely. Zac had defeated more than fifty enemies when he suddenly felt something piercing through his chest. It was an arrow. Despite of his injury, he continued fighting till the end. Finally, the fight had ended. Dead bodies are lying around the place while blood covered the soil. Zac stood up and attempted to go back to the campsite. However, he had lost too much blood when the arrow shot him. "No, I must go back. I have promised Denise," Zac told himself. After travelling for some distance, Zac felt that he could not take it anymore. He collasped. He attempted to stand up again, but failed. Having no choice, he tore a piece of his clothing off and wrote on it before he finally close his eyes.

A few days later, families were brought to the battlefield so that they could look for their sons, brothers, husbands. Denise rushed there immediately. After identifying all the corpses, she heaved a sigh of relief as she did not see Zac around, thinking that he might still be alive. Suddenly, she heard someone shouted, "There's another one here!" Assuring that it would not be Zac, Denise walked up to the corpse. To her horror, it was him. She immediately rushed forward and held him up. Crying really hard, she realised a peice of note in his hand.

It wrote: "Denise, I love you."
