The Beginning of the End

Well, I personally believe that the title says it all. This is the end of existence, but not the love, the love between two characters which permeated every aspect of their lives. Now, I realise how profound and wise that sounds, and I apologise for pretending to ever be such a knowledgeable person, but onwards with the story! :)

Please note, this is just the start of possibly a 2/3 part story. Part 1 continues as a new chapter.

Enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: Well I obviously do not own the characters, but nor do I own the lyrics, they belong to Alex Lloyd.

The Beginning of the End

Prologue:

It wasn't meant to end like this. We weren't meant to end like this. Not meant to end, period.

We were immortal.

I'd never truly doubted my ability to save her, to keep her from embracing death due to potentially fatal accidents. While she was human, it had been my goal in my existence, to help her, save her from herself. I'd had my moments of self-doubts in wondering if I was, perhaps, what she had needing saving from, yet I'd never thought that there would be a time I couldn't save her, couldn't pull her back from the edge. But here we now were. I couldn't protect her from the darkness that contaminated her from the inside, sucking the light from her bright life.

Now, now it sucked at my existence with a similar dark, pulsating accuracy.

I welcomed it, knowing it was near, deliberately welcoming its cold, and comforting embrace.

The end was close.
