Until Your Heart Stops の小説・ストーリー

My eyes closed slowly, and my heart stop beating at the count of 5, 4, 3, 2. "Nooooo!!"

My heart stopped. And the world hung on the edge of her next move.

You’re not. My heart stopped.

I don’t care. “...you’ll finally understand,” Kael finishes, “the price of chains.” My vision dims. My heartbeat echoes. The child’s heartbeat roars. And somewhere far away, I feel him turn toward me. If my heart is the signal… what will it cost to stop it?

I can stop my heart and breathing for a minute. Oh! Good! I think this is better! I could still hear my son calling for Winston's help, but it was pretty useless, so I slowly stopped my heart from beating, and, for a few seconds, my body shut down like a computer. "Mama!! Mama!!" Everything turned black, and exactly after sixty seconds I regained my consciousness again, hoping that my short death would halt the chaos.

“Your heart will start a moment later. It’ll be weak and slow, only audible to nearby supernaturals.” “You’ll need to stay still when you wake,” Caron added. “Don’t let them know you’re alive.”

Even in my last breath, she is still the content of every beat of my heart even though she is happy with someone else. I looked at the light and smiled holding my chest because I couldn't breathe anymore. With the last drop of tears in my eyes, my heart also stopped beating. "Until we meet again my hope." I uttered the last word and my eyes closed. THE END

Isabella pov I wish I hadn’t woken up again. I want to avoid this pain that fills my whole heart. Every day I have to keep fighting to just keep breathing in and out. I’m still stuck in that examination room when the doctor said they couldn’t find any heartbeats. The earth stopped spinning that day, I stopped living. Everything that happens after is like an outside-body experience. As if I were not there, it happened to someone else and I stood beside and just watched.

But over and over, until James stopped struggling. Until his eyes lost focus. Until his heart stopped beating. And just like that… he was gone.
