Another sleepless night for Claves.
It was the same nightmare she always had, reliving the exact moment when Rondo had stabbed her. But instead of her just dying alone, lamenting about her life and love, Jazz would always be there. He'd stand there, motionless, watching the whole thing happen and not reacting once.
"Jazz! Jazz, save me!" she'd scream.
He'd walk over to her, the rage of a thousand suns in his eyes.
"I know it was you that ruined my plan to infiltrate Forte castle," he'd spit. "It was always you that needed things repeated, spy. And you thought you could pull the wool over my eyes by feigning love to me? You're disgusting!"
"I'm sorry, I know what I did was wrong, but Jazz, my love for you was real!" she'd scream back.
And then he'd turn away and leave, as Claves screamed for him, over and over until she woke up.
She awoke, drenched in sweat and tears, crying for Jazz. Just a dream, she repeated to herself, over and over. Once she had managed to calm herself down, Claves found that she didn't want to go back to sleep, after such a traumatic event. She tiptoed to Jazz's room, needing the presence of her sleeping ex-lover as meagre comfort.
Claves stood watching Jazz as he slept, his hair spread out on the pillow in inky black tendrils. Nestled gently in his arm was Frederic, as always. Claves was, just for a moment, taken back to the days when she'd be in that position, sleeping next to Jazz. Frederic transformed into her, and she smiled, for just a minute as she remembered the days she was loved.
But the hallucination shattered when Claves noticed their interlaced fingers. Jazz and Frederic's fingers were knotted tightly, with small silver rings sparkling about their joined hands. Yes, they broke her. Two little silver reminders that Jazz and Frederic had promised themselves to each other. Two little silver reminders that Jazz loved him, not her. Not anymore. Frederic was his husband now.
Claves broke down, right there and then, remembering how she'd wanted to be the one to wear white that day, wishing so hard that Jazz would change his mind and marry her…
I got the idea for this in class today, and so I've had it nibbling at my brain all day X.x. I do have another fic planned for my Pokemon OCs, but I don't know when I'll be able to write it. Till then, I guess…
