Hey Torchwood and Dr Who fans! XD this is my first Torchwood fanfic so dont say mean things xxx and also I'm not making it too violent and adult because my sis totally wants to read it too and it would be too mean to make it unsuitable teehee. I don't own Torchwood or the characters (although I'd looooooooove to own Jack hehe) and this is a story that mixes Torchwood and Dr Who... well... kinda... you'll understand when you read it hehe. i love reviews! xxx
I'd kill to share your pain
And sell my soul for you just to say
Love's name in vain
Again and again
Oh I'd take my life for your kiss
And lose it all to take you across the abyss
In her hand she held the dark blue emerald. It's rareness and exquisiteness was beyond a child's imagination; the last of it's kind in the whole entire universe and she had it. A perfect flat like circle with a gentle point at one end. She paused in staring at it and her sapphire eyes flickered upwards and to the young man, who was watching her quietly, then back to the emerald.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" he asked, there was no emotion in his voice.
"Yes." She replied softly, still captivated by the thing, "such a shame that it has caused so much pain and death."
"Many have killed for it." He remarked drawing a little closer.
"I just wish that…" she trailed off and in the moonlight met his gaze, blushing slightly, "I mean, this thing is so rare, it would be nice to cut it up and preserve the pieces."
"The Blue Emerald is not for preserving." Urgency came into his voice, and she noticed.
"I know, I was just imagining…"
"Well don't." he said shortly pulling out a dagger from his back pocket and keeping it concealed behind his back. "I love you." He whispered. She smiled,
"I know."
"Give me the Emerald." He held out his hand and she paused,
"I can't… Jaze, please let me hold it a little longer…"
"No." he kept his voice steady, but his hands were trembling. For so long had he hunted that Emerald, and now it was inches away from being his forever, but there was going to be a problem. He could tell. Jaze loved her with all his heart, but if killing her way going to give him the Emerald then he would kill her. "Give me the Emerald sweetheart, please, I need it now."
She shivered and for a moment he thought she knew about the dagger, but then he relaxed as she started to place it into his palm.
Then a shout cracked through the forest.
"Christ." Swore Jaze " It's the Whippers!"
"They won't harm us." She whispered, "We're on their side." Jaze fixed her with a stare,
"They want the Emerald."
"Oh no." her fist closed around it and she drew it closer, "I won't let them take it!"
Jaze grimaced as she stepped back and he grabbed her arm,
"Give me the Emerald!" he hissed,
"No!" she looked shocked to see the anger twist on his face, "You're just as bad as them! You want to use it for your own gain! I wont let you do that!" and she yanked herself free.
The Whippers had spotted them now and were heading for them,
"The Emerald!" Jaze tried one last time, dragging her over to the cliff edge away from Whippers.
"I can't!" she replied. Then he pulled back his arm and plunged the dagger deep into her heart.
Her eyes blinked and she cried out, just once, before tumbling over the cliff edge… taking the Emerald with her.
"NO!" yelled Jaze, and then the Whippers were up behind him and clamping his hands in more chains. He closed his eyes. What had he done? He'd just killed the woman he loved, for a pathetic jewel?! No! It wasn't true.
But he knew in his heart that it was, and now he had killed the Princess of the planet. What worse fate could await him now???
He knew. Even before the Whipper Captain had said so, he knew. The penalty of killing Royalty, and a visitor from another planet at that, was a complete Memory Wipe. Jaze gritted his teeth. He would forget about the Emerald, his brother, his job and most importantly the woman he loved: the beautiful dead Princess Susaniazkia.
