Warnings: Violence.
As the last moments of dusk faded from the evening sky, she tightened her grip on his hand. She could just barely make out the silhouettes of several men lingering in the darkness ahead.
"Trouble up there," he said, kissing her forehead. "Let's turn back."
Before they could escape, thundering footsteps overtook them. Hooded men cornered her boyfriend, punching and kicking him ruthlessly until he fell to the ground. Shoving her way into the crowd, she used her body to shield him from their blows.
With her last breath she whispered, "I love you," before her world faded into obscurity.
