The White Vow

by Addi Lou

A one-shot sequel to my fanfic of The Alluring Secret Black Vow. Miku is unable to remember. A void has formed within her heart. But, a voice from the past comes forwards and provides a light toward her memories.

Flashes

Brief Flashes.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

There was an empty void inside of my heart. Something, no someone was missing.

"But who?" I whispered softly. Why, why couldn't I remember? Who couldn't I remember? What locked up my memories. "I want them back!" I cried. There was nobody around. I stood alone within my townhouse. Everything was so confusing. Too many questions danced around in my mind. Not enough answers were brought forth.

"Who are you?" I whispered. His face. His blue eyes. His sad, sad smile. There was a sort of incompleteness that furrowed it's way into my heart. He was gone. I knew that much. Nobody mean't more to me then he did.

Every.

Single.

Night.

He was there. Coming and going.

It always ended the same though. Vanishing, leaving behind a single black feather. It was like a tale from a storybook. For each time before he vanished, I caught the glimpse of a winged being. An angel.

"Curse it all," I tossed aside my mixing bowl and collapsed to my feet. Tears poured down my cheeks. Silently, I prayed that someone would return my lost memories. Or perhaps, they were merely locked deep inside.

Look harder, a voice seemed to whisper tenderly into my ear. I can help you, but you need to try. I knew there was someone speaking into my ear. Frantically I looked around, seeking out the stranger. Nobody was there though.

"Who are you?" I cried. No response. I decided not to dwell on it too much. Shutting my eyes I dove inside of my subconscious.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Keep trying, a voice pleaded. Think of the flowers. Think, of the clearing and what you found there.

At first none of it made sense. Until, a flash filled my mind. Len! Everything. All at once came back.
"Oh god, Len." I cried. Tears swelled up into my eyes.

It's okay I'm still here.

I realized that voice belonged to him. "Why can't I see you?" I couldn't hide my tears.

I can't stay much longer. But Miku, know that I always will love you. And I await your arrival at heaven's gates.

"Don't leave me!" I cried. I knew he was gone though. There was nothing I could do to bring him back. A sad but content feeling filled me. "Here is my vow to you Len. Throughout the rest of my life, I'll stay true." It was a difficult promise. A potentially impossible one.

But, it was still.

My white vow.
