Steve Irwin Last Words Novels & Stories

“I’m going to get us out! Just hold on!” I wanted to tell him how proud I was. How strong he was. But my body was shutting down. I felt heavy, so heavy. My lungs burned, my vision blurred, and I could barely feel my legs moving. The last thing I heard before everything faded was one of the men’s voices calling out from the shore. “We’re not going to kill you,” he said. “This is just a warning. Stay out of this, or next time, we won’t be so generous.”

Good morning. Mr Wolf:. Good morning Iris. Iris:. How is she? Mr Wolf:. Better. Iris:. I'm here now. Mr Wolf:. Yeah but I'm not leaving today. I promised her. Iris:. Okay. Then you better go back to sleep. Mr Wolf:. Yeah. Iris:. If she'll wake up or something. I'll take care of it. Don't worry. Mr Wolf:. Thank you Iris. Iris:. Don't thank me Mr Wolf. Anything for her.

My breath hitched. “And you… you died in my arms. You trusted me with your last words, with your last request. I don’t even know if I deserved that after everything that happened between us. But I promise you, Henry, I’ll keep it. I’ll protect Elias and I'll tell him about his heroic father someday.” My voice cracked, but I held myself upright. “Goodbye.” When I stepped back, Orrin’s gaze followed me. His jaw was tight, as if he was holding something back.

‘I will have my way… eventually’ was his last words before he slumped to the ground. There was silence all round and everyone just stared at the two men on the floor. ‘Is he dead?’ Olivia whispered and almost at her response Dante chest rose and fell. ‘He is just unconscious’ Aidan said barely standing straight. Hoshi went to support him ‘Is it finally over?’ Suzy peeped from behind me with her hands covering her ears. ‘It is sweetie, he can’t hurt us anymore’ I hugged her glad this whole thing is finally over.

“Don’t say that, please. You did everything you could. Life isn’t over yet and I am right here by your side.” “No….” I whimpered as tears flowed down my cheeks. His eyes held emotions I couldn’t explain. "Trust me, everything is going to be okay. " The doctor ran your blood work while you were out," he said quietly. I felt a chill go through me. "Is my heart failing?” "No," Alex replied, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Evelyn, you didn’t just pass out due to stress. You’re ten weeks pregnant."

A calm male voice spoke through the speaker. "Good evening, Agent." Ross's face lost all color. "Who is this?" The man chuckled. "Tell Emma Parker..." "...that if she wants to see her mother alive..." "...she should bring the master drive to the lighthouse." Emma's heart stopped. "My mother?" The caller laughed softly. "Sunrise." "No police." "No tricks." "Or she dies." The line went dead. The forest fell silent. Emma slowly looked at Liam, tears filling her eyes. "I thought my mother died twenty years ago."

He had shattered the most precious thing in his world with his own two hands. Now, all he could do was taste the bitter fruit of his own making, here in the mud. “I… was wrong…” His last words were swallowed by the storm. His eyes slowly closed, never to open again.

“You made a promise to me, my dear, not even two hours ago. The nature of that promise will always remain between only you and me. But please know that I know it was a lot to ask of you. Just as I know that you will keep your promise, and because of that, when it’s my time to go, I can go peacefully. You have given me more than you can ever know with that promise. And so, my final words to you are simple.” We all took a breath and held it. Larry looked up from the paper, a tear glistening in his eye. He said my final words from Stanley in a voice barely above a whisper. “Thank you.”

He pointed to a single, white-winged gull riding the wind current below us. “Look,” he whispered, a child’s wonder in his voice. “Perfect efficiency.” He sat in the worn armchair we kept there, facing the horizon. Keila and I sat with him, holding his hands. His breathing slowed, synchronizing with the distant rhythm of the waves. And then, he spoke his last words, not to us, but as a final, soft log entry into the quiet air. “System report: All critical missions complete. All guardians deployed. All errors reconciled. Love… operational. Initiating final, peaceful shutdown.”

I looked up and saw Stark's gaze was turned to me. I looked away from Stark and back to Stallone. I grabbed Stallone's hand and held on tight to it. I let all my tears out, no longer making effort to hold them back. I felt Stallone's hand on mine and I looked straight at his face. My eyes were blurb from vision by my tears. "It's my time to go Andra. I just want to tell you... I love you..." Stallone said. Those were his last words before he died.
