Saving Love
Chapter 1
A/n: I don't own anything. If I did, do you think I would have let Satine die? Those of you, who are reading my C.S.I. fanfic, don't worry. I'm not abandoning it; it's just a work in progress.
It was a hot summer day, the kind you expected rain from, but the rain wouldn't fall until the last minute. Viola West was walking to the house of Kate Webb, her best friend. She pushed her sweat soaked auburn hair out of her green eyes as she approached Kate's house. Viola didn't bother to knock. Kate's home was always open to her. She walked in the front door and rejoiced in the cool air-conditioned environment. Sounds were traveling up the stairs from the basement den. Viola slid her feet from her sandals and walked downstairs.
"Hey Kate, she called down to her friend.
"Oh hi!" Kate exclaimed as she turned her blonde head and her faced and brown eyes lit up into a smile.
"What are you watching?" Viola asked as she joined Kate on the couch.
"My Super Sweet 16."
"Ugh. I hate that show!"
"Oh, shows that feature forensic scientists named Gil Grissom and Warrick Brown are better?"
"Yes!"
"Whatever."
"Can I pick the next thing to watch please?"
"Knock yourself out," Kate said handing Viola the T.V. guide. Viola flipped through the book and Kate turned her attention back to the show.
"Oooh, Moulin Rouge is going to be on CineMax after your show is over. Can we please watch it?"
"When was the last time you watched that movie?"
"Six months ago. I haven't watched or rented it since January."
"All right, I haven't watched it in a long time either."
The show ended sooner than Viola expected and Kate switched the channel. The two girls got comfy on the couch and waited for the movie to start. It began with the 20th Century Fox overture and then slid into the opening credits music. Nature Boy followed and as Toulouse sang, Viola noticed a strange, silver light that seemed to be growing. She quickly glanced at Kate, but Kate wasn't showing any reaction.
"Kate, do you see that light?" she asked quietly.
"Yes Vi, but don't worry about it."
"The woman I loved is… dead," Christian said on the screen. As soon as he said the line, the silver light started to take up the whole of the screen and it formed into a tunnel like shape that started to come towards Viola and Kate. They tried to move, but the tunnel came closer and closer until it seemed to swallow them. The two girls were no longer frozen. They were falling.
