The end.
Mary-Lynnette, now 20, was just getting into a club for her hen night when she saw the man who broke her heart walk onto the stage for kareoke. Ash Redfern, Lamia and part of the night world. He said he'd come back after a year, but he never did. So she packed up her things and left for collage. And here she was, two years later, engaged with an astrologist diploma and ready to start her Ash free life.
That is, until she saw him.
He looked completely difforent to the last time she saw him. His hair was toussled and unkept, as were his clothes. Like he didnt care what he looked like anymore. He had dark rings under his eyes and his skin was much paler, which should have been quite difficult seeming as he was a vampire. He looked very solomn, like he'd given up on life as he walked on the stage.
"Hi. Well...I'm Ash Redfern. And I'm gonna sing a song, obviously." Some people laughed quietly at the dry humor. "Anyway, I've been looking for a girl for two years now, never seemed to find her. She left a couple of hours before I came back withought a trace, and now I'm reduced to going everywhere I can to find her. Im singing Vannila twilight by Owl city cause it says our relationship perfectly. well, lets start."
He attempted a smile, but instead just looked grim. Mare wanted to jump on the stage right now and cling on and never let go. But she knew she could'nt. Not with al her 'friends' around her. He set the mic up and faced the crowd. She tried to stay at the back so he would'nt see her. He started to sing.
"The stars lean down to kiss you, And I lay awake and miss you, Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere."
Her eyes widened. He could sing?!
" Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly, But I miss your arms around me, I'd send a postcard to you dear, cause I wish you were here."
His eyes started to water and she knew this was having a big affect on him.
" I'd watch the night turn light blue, But it's not the same withought you,Because it takes two to whisper quietly."
" The silance isn't so bad, Till i look at my hands and feel sad, Cause the space between my finger are right where yours fit perfectly."
Mare didnt think Ash could feel so much emotion, but his eyes were pouring tears out. The sad part was she thinks she was the only one who realized.
" I'll find repose in new ways, Though I haven't slept in thwo days, Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone."
Mare could feel the tears run down her own face and hoped no-one noticed.
" But drenched in Vanilla twilight, I'll sit on the front porch all night, Waist-deep in thought because when I think of you, I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone."
Mare was acutly aware that she was slowly making her way towards the stage.
" As many tims as I blink, I'll think of you tonight, I'll think of you tonight."
" When violet eyes get brighter, And heavy wings grow lighter, I'll taste the sky and feel alive again."
" And I'll forget the world that i knew, But i swear I won't forget you, Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past, I'd whisper in your ear, Oh, darling I wish you were here."
The instrumental part for the end came on and everyone cheered. By now Mare was at the front of the stage climbing up. In 3 seconds she was infront of a wide eyed Ash.
"Mary-Lynnette." He whispered huskily, from all the singing. He went to hug her but she stepped back. He looked shocked and hurt. "Whats wrong? Did I do something wrong?" He asked uncertainly. He looked like a vulnerable child, which i guess he is right now, Mare realised.
" I'm so sorry Ash, I can't. I'm getting married tommorow. But it doesn't matter does it? We never really liked each other anyway, right?" She started backing away, and Ash was now visably crying. He helplessly reached out again. " P-please. I can't loose you a-aga-again mare." He stutterd shakily.
" I'm sorry Ash." She whispered before leaving out with her shocked 'friends' to marry the man her father has forced her to. She hoped it would take her mind off Ash Redfern, now the man whose heart SHE broke...
The next day she was walking down the alter in her white gown, her damn fiancee would'nt let her have a blue one, and tried to make her smile last. He hair was in curls down her back. 'not as good as if Rowan did them' she thought, making herself smile more. When she got the the alter the priest began to speak. Soon it was time for the vows.
" And Mary-Lynnette Carter, do you take this man to be your husband?" There was a long silence and mare was shaking vigurously. "Well?" Both the priest and her fiancee asked at the same time. She smirked. " Of coarse I....DON'T!!" she took the rings off and ran down the isle towards her car and got in. As soon as she got in it started to dribble rain. She tugged on the soulmate bond and followed where it was taking her, never looking back.
After maybe 20 muinteds she stopped outside a wood with a hill in the middle. She came here constanty once she got engaged. By now the rain was throwing down and as soon as she got out the car she was instantly drenched, but she didn't care. She ran full force to the hill, getting her dress all muddy and brown. When she got to the top her eyes widend. But not with joy.
Ash was stood there, facing her, with a massive stake pointing to his heart. He looked up and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry, but your my soulmate. If you don't want me, I'm not needed in the world." He drove the stake all the way through his chest and hit the ground. She screemed his name and knelt down beside him. His clothes were quickly drownding in blood. He started crying out quietly and attempting a smile for mare's sake. He just realised how much she loved him.
" Ash, no. I love you" She whispered helplessly. He smiled, and just before he died, she heard four words barely leave his lips.
"I love you too."
I'm not sure why i wrote this, cause this is my favorite couple. And I was constantly crying all the way through knowing how it would end. Oh well, REVIEW!!! :D
