spoilers for insatiable
disclaimer: i own nothing
there's no such thing as fate
he believed in fate
but was it fate that brought them here
to this moment
with him on his knees
and her in his arms
she's whispering,
i love you, i love you, i love you
and he loves her
god, he loves her
he wants to tell her
he does, he does, he does
but what comes out is something different
don't, allison- please don't
but she's not hurting
and he can't take her pain
he wants to, he's always wanted to
to take every last drop of her pain and her grief
but now he can't
he can't, he can't, he can't
so he holds her hand
and begs her to stay
because that's all he can do
to beg and scream and ask fate if this was really meant to be
if this was how it was supposed to end
with her in his arms
the place he always wanted her to be
but not like this
not like this, not like this, not like this
not with her shaking and crying and smiling
she asks about her best friend
if she's safe, if she's okay, if she's protected
and in her last moment
shaking, crying, smiling
she tells him it's perfect
because she's in his arms
and she's home
i love you, i love you, i love you
she keeps saying it
like a prayer
like she doesn't want him to forget
and he wanted to hear it
but not like this
not like this, not like this, not like this
not with a sword in her stomach
not with her shaking and crying and smiling
she asks him to tell her father
you have to tell my dad- you have to tell him
but she never got to say what it was
she breathed her last breath in the arms of the first boy she ever loved.
it's perfect
she said
it's perfect
like she'll never say again
and he wishes he never made that phone call
he wishes he never told her where to go
because she went to the place that would kick start her funeral
and he cries
he cries for lydia
who they came to save
i'm here to save my best friend
she said moments before everything led to nothing
and lydia screams
because the banshee lost her hunter
the person she loved without qualm or question
she screams and screams and falls to her knees
the banshee lost her hunter
and she knew
she knew for hours and hours and she felt the clock stop ticking
she falls to her knees
and screams
he cries for argent
who felt the life leave his wife as he held her in his arms
who had to watch his daughter suffer the same fate
who still hears her voice saying
i love you, i'm proud of you, i'm proud of us
who has to come home to an empty apartment
and look at his daughter's bedroom
and how he'll never see her in there again
he cries for isaac
because isaac loved her
and she gave his last arrow to save him
before a sword pierced through and a hero fell
and he cries for allison
a girl who was born with silver running through her veins
who had a heart of solid gold
who was beautiful and strong and disarming
who showed strength with a bow and a quiver of arrows
who fought and fell with everything she had
a hunter who knew loss and redemption and pride
he believed in fate
but was it fate that brought them here
a cruel twist of fate that gave her everything she didn't deserve
a fate that took away her innocence and left her with grief
a fate that caught up to her,
in the end
he believed in fate
she never did.
