Liz and Red

Hey folks this is my first fiction that is´nt written in my mothertongue (german) so please be gentle, although criticism is very welcome to eradicate the errors I´ve surely made.
I thought the lovestory of Red and Liz to be the most beautiful I´ve ever heard of.
So here it is. Follow me back to Hellboy I were Liz and Myers are standing in the cage where the helldogs are breeding…

Chapter One: Finding you in the dark

Hellboy:
Crack…."Marco, Marco would you please bring you´re broad red ass down here" said the walkie-talkie. Liz... with all his might Hellboy clashed his way through the solid stone floor.
Even if he wouldt never admit it, his heart was cramped in fear right now. He needed to get to her…now. Pieces of stone were flying around his head. Pictures began to build in his head. Her ivory white body bathed in blood. Her soft and beautiful face distorted in fear… or pain. Harder and harder his fist hit the stone as he made his way down. After all, after a mighty stroke, the floor he was standing on, gave way and he fell into the danger zone, feeling nothing but relieve that he was getting to her. That he could throw his massive body between her and any danger, that she was confronted with right now.

Liz:
As the ceiling splattered and shattered rocks were filling the air, the only thing that caught her eye, was the red falling image that hung in the air. Right now she was aware of how much she counted on him. He was the constant in her life. The one that would always be there, no matter how grumpy, lonely, afraid, hurt or dangerous she felt. The one that would come to her even if she was facing hells army.
Right now her heart was flying to his massive frame, that fought his way through the never ending stream oft he helldogs. And if her guardian angel lookes like the devil himself. So what?
But this time it seemed that her gaurdian angel needed help himself. Once hellboy fell and his sarcastic comments ceased, the world spun the other way round. He who survived everything, who was never anything else but strong…it looked like they were really going to hurt him??? It could´nt be, but right now it seemed like even Hellboy himself could be….dying?
„Hit me" she commanded.

Hellboy:
They were too many. Too much for him. He would´nt be able to protect her this time. Desperation flooded his already dizzy brain. The water was so cold under him. The hits and bites hurt so much. They filled all of his view, he could´nt see Liz any longer. Suddenly the cold was gone, Hellboy felt all warm and he saw an angel walking towards him with arms outstreched wide.
The angel had her face, the warmth felt familiar and comforting. The last thing he saw, before loosing consciousness, was a burning face of a helldog right in front of him.

Liz:
As the fire was leaving her, Liz fainted. This was common to her, uncommon was that the passing out felt so deep. That the blackout was pitch black.
She tried to move, but her body was´nt obeying her. Liz was floating unmoving into the great nothing. Panicky she tried to get a hold to something, to anthing that could stop her fading away . Something was sucking on her mouth and it felt as if she should move her whole body inside out of her mouth… and the something was suceeding.
Now there was´nt even her own body with her in the darkness anymore. Nothing that could scream in fear, nothing she could wrap the arms around and shrink away. She was just naked, raw and alone in the dark, with nothing to stand between her and the nothing.

Hellboy:
„You´re father gave you the opportunity to choose" agent Myers shouted. Images of him and Broom filled his head… then of him and Liz. Her rare smile. Of how she always tried to do the right thing. And he knew, what she would have done right now. He raised his huge hands to his horns and pulled, his strong neck flexing backwards. A cracking noise told him that they broke off and he felt more like himself again.
Slamming them into Rasputin he sealed his choice and prayed to all gods to rescue Liz and to forgive him.

Liz unconsious frame leaned against the wall of the dark stone tunnel. „She has got no pulse… she is not breathing." Myers said breathlessly. Even if this was anticipated, Hellboy felt as if he had lost ground. He sank on his knees beside her, feeling the cold, hard stone under his knees. Cupping her face with his big red hand. He desperately needed to kiss her… her soft lips. But she was´nt his girl. She had decided for Myers and he had given her his blessign for it. Defeated he kissed her forehead. . „Liz" he called softly. „I never said I love you" he whispered „but we both always knew. Don´t be afraid I´ll come and get you and kill everyone that tries to hold you."

Liz:
Suddenly the darkness was filled with a voice. She knew this voice. It had always been with her. If only she could remember.
All of a sudden her mind was pushed back into something she recognized after a moment as her body. She took a deep breath and felt something hard and uncomfortable against her back. So she opened her eyes and the first thing she saw, was a broad red chest right in front of her. Lifting her eyes her view was filled with a big, red and even broader grin on Hellboys face. He stood and reached an arm out to her. Half smiling she took it and struggled to get to her feet, only to throw herself into his arms. Holding him so tight it almost hurt and pressed the air out of her lungs.

Hellboy:
As she opened her eyes again. Relieve streamed through him. He stood, pulling her with him.
Suddenly he felt her against his chest pullng him near. Hellboy stiffened. How desperately he had wished for something like this to happen. But not as friends… it was so hard having her so near…yet knowing she would never be his. But this was Liz and before Hellboy knew it his body had acted and had pulled her even nearer… had buried his nose in her fragrant hair.. had slung a hand around her neck. „In the dark…. I heard youre voice…. what did you say" Liz mumbled trough deep sighing breaths.
Without thinking he responded „I said hey… you on the other side… let her go,… because for…" feeling her shaky breath on his lips he could´nt go on and pulled away, before he could´nt stop himself any longer from kissing her. Taking a deep breath he decided that she deserved the truth after all and leaned in again"…for her I´ll cross over" he whispered against her face" .. an then youll be sorry" he ended anxiously, but with a small smile on his face.

Liz:
While Red was speaking Liz curled up against him, feeling his strong body against hers, his arms around her, his dark voice that vibrated in his chest, the warmth. She wished that she never would have to let go again and decided to do just that. Red loved her, he always had. And maybe she had loved him always too. As he pulled away to take a deep breath and trembled slightly under her grip, Liz made her choice and returned his smile. Determinated she inclined her head up to him, slowly closing her eyes.

Hellboy:
As she smiled in answer Hellboy relaxed slightly. So she was´nt angry at him for loving her. At least he would always be able to love her from far away. He admired her lashes as she closed her eyes. She was all so beautiful, why did ne never notice how handsome her lashes were? And then it struck him:
Because he had never seen her from so near by. And she was getting nearer and nearer.
Red froze, head blank, holding his breath, heart racing, feeling fragile and shaky. As Liz´ lips touched him Red wanted to cry, or cry out, or moan… but he did nothing of it. He just stood still and savoured the feeling of her, oh so soft, warm and perfect lips on his devlish ones and her small frame safe and warm in his arms. Her fire danced around them and enfolded them in a warm bright cocoon. Her sweet breath lingered on his lips as she opened her mouth slightly and brushed her tongue over his breathless lips. As he felt this warm, moist intruder knock on his doors he could´nt resist any longer and kissed her back. Lifting her a few inches up in his arms wrapping his lips around hers. Tasting her sweet flavour on himself , he opened his mouth in a silent moan and felt her tongue trace the inner part of his lips. Cautiously, for not to scare her away, he let their tongues touch and was astonished to hear a small sigh escape her lips.

Liz:
Being kissed by Red was amazing. There was no place safer than his arms. Nothing sweeter than his careful, gentle movements. Liz melted for him. As they broke apart her heart was racing and she held on to his steady frame. Her cheeks blushed as she looked shyly up to him only to see him incredulously looking down to her. A small smile crept on her face, as she cupped his face in her too small hand. „Let´s go home Red" she said and turned to the tunnel. „How many of us are left" she asked into her walkie-talkie. „Only me?" came Mannings small voice out oft he device.
„I think he´s right" said Myers with a severe tone and without looking anyone in the eye. „Let´s go and get him and then out of here."
