Kiss the Rain, a night world series fanfic

AN: Another song fic from me about the Night World series. But, what can I say? I am obsessed! Moving on… this one is about Maggie and Delos, who is one a mission for Circle Daybreak. Maggie's missing her soul mate and just wishes he was there with her. The song is "Kiss the Rain" by Thriving Ivory. I own neither the song, nor the characters…

Lyrics- blah

Mental talking - Blah

HelloCan you hear me?

Am I gettin' through to you?

Maggie POV

I tried and tried so hard to get through to him. Our silver thread- the one that embedded our minds together and basically made us soul mates- was helpful in that matter. But, it felt as if he was to far away to even hear me calling out to him. My Delos. Away on a mission. That wouldn't be so bad, if it wasn't for the fact that I wasn't with him… and he had been gone for almost two weeks. It was becoming unbearable, not being near him.

Hello

Is it late there?

There's a laughter on the line

Are you sure you're there alone?

Cause I'm

Tryin' to explain

Somethin's wrong

Ya just don't sound the same

Why don't you

Go outside

Oh, how I wished to know what was going on with him. If he was okay, if he was almost done with his mission… if he was missing me as much as I missed him. I wanted to desperately just have my fantasies come to life. Have it be like all the movies- where I'm pining for my love and then I go outside to pray his return. And then, poof, he appears out of nowhere and wraps me in his arms. I knew that wouldn't happen anytime soon. Delos would be gone for at least a couple more days. A couple more days of torture…

Kiss the rain

Whenever you need me

Kiss the rain

Whenever I'm gone, too long

your lips

Feel lonely and thirsty

How badly I wanted him by my side again. How badly I craved his lips on mine. The other Daybreak girls were lucky. Most of them were home with their soul mates. Only a few- Keller, Poppy, and Jez- were away on missions… but they went with their true loves. I was the only one stuck at the mansion by myself.

Kiss the rain

And wait for the dawn

Keep in mind

We're under the same sky

And the nights are

As empty for me, as for you

If ya feel

You can't wait till morinin'

Kiss the rain

I wished he would come home. It was bad enough not having him around, but to not even be able to talk to him mentally was insane. I wished I could've come with him, but Thierry had said it was far to dangerous for a human to tag along. It was a mission only suitable for a Night World creature. I wished someone else would've taken it. Poppy and James, maybe. They were both vampires. They could've handled it. And I would've been with Delos.

Hello

Do you miss me?

I hear you say you do

But not the way I'm missin' you

What's new?

How's the weather?

Is it stormy where you are?

Cause I'm so close but it feels like you're so far

Oh would it mean anything

If you knew

What I'm left imagining

In my mind

Would you go

I knew I couldn't wait much longer for him. I knew it. It was unbearable now more than ever. A few days had passed and Delos still didn't come home. I was beyond upset, and was more into the brink of insanity than ever before. Worst of all, the others had returned home safe and sound. Keller and Galen, too, who had left after my soul mate. They gave me the worst news of all. He would be gone for at least another week. More damn torment in store.

Kiss the rain

And you'd fall over me

Think of me

Only me

Delos. Delos. Delos. My thoughts echoed around him. He was the only thing that entered my brain night and day. I counted down the hours, the minutes, until he was scheduled to be back here with me. Only four more days. Not extremely long, but enough to feel like a lifetime would pass until I saw him again. I just had to remind myself he would be home soon.

Kiss the rain

Whenever I'm gone too long

If your lipsFeel lonely and thirsty

Kiss the rain

and wait for the dawn

Keep in mind

We're under the same skies

And the nights

As empty for me, as for you

If you fee

lYou can't wait till morning

Three more days. Three. One day down, another feeling of a lifetime gone. Just three more days until I could have him back with me. Three more days until Delos would be back with me. Three more days until I could feel his strong arms wrapped around me. Three more days until I could feel his lips on mine. Three more days until I could hear his mind. Those three days would take to long to get here.

Kiss the rain

Oooooohhhhh

Kiss the rain

Oooooohhhhh

Kiss the rain

Two more days now. Yes. And, from what Thierry was saying, it may be even sooner. He might, just might, come home tonight. I was jittery, but I knew I shouldn't get my hopes up. I knew that if I did, it would hurt worse if they were shattered. But, I had to keep thinking positive to keep from going crazy. It was either tonight, tomorrow, or the next day that he would be home. That was good to know.

Hello

Can ya hear me?

I don't know why, but I decided to try to see if I could talk with him with the mental connection we shared. I knew it failed before, but I was getting desperate. I needed to hear his voice, I needed a reminder of him.

Delos? I asked desperately. I hoped he could hear me.

Maggie? was the reply. It was him. Yes! Yes! After all this time, I could finally talk with my prince. it would fill the void until he got home.

AN: and there you have it. The song is "Kiss the Rain" by Thriving Ivory. I do not own it, nor do I own Maggie or Delos. They belong to L.J. Smith. Don't forget to review. They make me smile… and they encourage me to write more stories… :~)
