Soulmates Lost


I fell to my knee's when they said these two words . " She's dead . " Mark whispered in a dead voice that did not belong to a boy of his age .

No I think over and over again ! She can't be . . she can't . . NO ! My body is shaking with silent sobs as I bring myself up from the floor and dash outside of the house that once belonged to my aunt .

I run blindly not knowing , and not caring where I was going . I did not want to believe it . I did not want to admit that she was . . . gone . . . That I could not protect her . That my soulmate , Mary-Lynnette , had been killed .

All because of circle Daybreak . They did not want it to accomplish it's goal . So rebels attacked one night while Mary-Lynnette was stargazing like always on a perfect night . The next morning , while my sister Jade and Mary-Lynnette's brother Mark went for a walk they found her .

They said that it was done by werewolves .

I soon found myself sitting at the hill where Mary-Lynnette had spent so much time at night watching the stars in the never ending sky . I sit there and think about if I had not come to Briar Creek to look for my runaway sisters . I make a list of the good and the bad .

1 ) She would be alive ( GOOD )

2 ) She would not have found out about the night world , maybe ( GOOD )

3 ) I would have never found my soulmate ( GOOD or BAD )

4 ) She would have never had found her soulmate ( GOOD or BAD )

5 ) She might be with the werewolf ( BAD ! VERY , VERY BAD ! )

" Ash ? " I hear a voice behind me . It belongs to Quinn . He had come back with me to help with circle Daybreak now that he had found Rashel , his HUMAN soulmate .

" Go away Quinn ! " I order in a harsh and cracking voice . He moves closer instead of away .

" What happened ? " He ask in a voice full of sympathy . I don't answer . I hear footsteps coming up the hill and see Jade hand in hand with Mark .

Quinn looks at them and walks over to Jade . They talk in hushed tones . They explain about her death . I do not want to hear about it again . I just want it to all end . I just want her .

After a while Quinn walks back over to me and places his hand on my still shacking shoulder . ' I'm sorry . ' he whispers . Then they all walk away to allow me to grieve in peace .

I notice for the first time that night has fallen . I stagger to my feet and jog back to the house that my sisters live in . I know what I have to do .

Once I reach the white fence , I rip up one of the peaces of rotting wood from its place in the fence . Then I run . I hear there voices calling out to me as I run , but I do not hear there footsteps . I finally found myself at the cemetery where they laid Mary-Lynnette to rest . My knees give out when I finally find the right head stone .

I bring my hand up to trace her name . Then I grab the wooden stake . I line it up with where my heart is and force it in . As I lay there dying I hear voices . They belong to Rowan , Kestrel , Jade , Mark , and Quinn talking to me . They say to stay even though they know I can't be saved .

" We all love you , Ash . " Jade whispers to me . Each of my sisters grab my hand for one last squeeze . Finally I close my eyes and when I open them I am greeted by a happy Mary-Lynnette .


Disclamer : I do not own the nightworld books !

I just love Ash and Mary-Lynnette together ! I know it's cruel to write a tragedy story , but I just have a talent for them ! I always make sad stories for something that I LOVE so much ! If you hate me tell so in a review !

Later !
