"Wolves mate for life and she had wanted that promise; the promise of eternity." Rated T for character death and implied suicide. Slight AU.
A/N: Song is Darling I'll Be Your Werewolf by Short Stack.. Listen to it on Youtube, it is beautiful.
Disclaimer: I do not own the song or characters.
Today I went to speak to God
But the sky was empty
Remus stepped outside, eyelids fluttering closed, face tilted towards the sky. The rain pelted at him, like sharp needles, before trickling down his cheeks and dripping from his chin.
The door opened and closed behind him, almost silently, and he inhaled. The soft, sweet scent of Nymphadora Tonks filtered through his heightened senses and his eyes remained closed. Nothing to fear.
She took his hand in her own, and it was that simple act that allowed him to breathe, the pained ache in his chest receding.
And the clouds fell down around me and you
As we stood hand in hand, out of heat, invent me
A sea of love and ways to drown me and you
Wolves mate for life and she had wanted that promise; the promise of eternity. And the climax was approaching rapidly; the climax of this dreaded war. Remus could feel it in his blood, feel the tension of the thread that would surely break soon. The only question was: who, if anyone, would survive?
We're going to hell
Just because we're werewolves
We're werewolves
A-oo
A-oo
A-oo
Remus felt the beautiful woman beside him give his hand a gentle squeeze, reminding him that no matter what terrible events unfolded, she would remain by his side until the very end.
My love it's quite a thrill
Darling I'll be your werewolf
A-oo
A-oo
A-oo
He could not have known that only one month later he would be lying on the cold stone floor of a broken Hogwarts corridor, the woman he loved in his arms, gasping out her final breaths.
So whole, little miss
Imagine this
We're entwined
And helpless
And the world turns upside down
Without you
Nearly midnight. Perhaps only five more minutes until the fighting would begin again. And then Remus would be on his own. Fighting alone, without her by his side. He placed a final chaste kiss on her lips, already cold, and took out his wand.
Such an inoffensive stick of wood, but with dark powers hidden deep in its core. Remus placed the tip against his temple and pulled Tonk's lifeless body tighter against his own.
Its 11:57, she tastes so sweet
And I want more
Just a second, lay in heaven
As my heart hit-hit-hits the floor
So, we're going to hell
Just because we're werewolves
We're werewolves
A-oo
A-oo
A-oo
My love it's quite a thrill
Darling I'll be your werewolf, your werewolf
A-oo
A-oo-oo
Ooh
A-oo
Ooh
Wolves mate for life and she had wanted that promise; the promise of eternity.
