IF I NEVER KNEW YOU
Sydney hurt. All over. For the last 4 hours she had been tortured for information. She would never tell. There was nothing left to live for. Danny was dead, Noah was dead, Will would never speak to her again, and worst of all...Vaughn was dead. Her last chance at happiness, drowned, while she could only watch. They could kill her. She didn't care anymore.
"Sydney, darling, I don't want to have to kill my own daughter!"
"I'm NOT your daughter. And you're going to have to kill me. You're not getting anything out of me. I don't care if I die."
"Well, maybe we'll have to make you care."
Irina snapped her fingers. "Sark! Bring him in here."
Sark and a guard dragged in Vaughn.
Vaughn?
He was wet and bruised, but still very much alive. They shoved him in the corner next to Sydney.
"If you don't talk, you'll both die. I'll give you all a few minutes."
Once they were alone, Sydney and Vaughn were in each other's arms.
"Oh Vaughn, I thought you were dead! I thought..."
"Shh...it's ok Sydney."
"Vaughn...I love you."
"I love you too Sydney. Sydney...?"
"Yeah?"
"We can't tell. We can't give them anything..."
"I know." She began to cry softly and Vaughn took her in his arms.
*If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true*
"I'm so sorry Vaughn. I'm so sorry I got you into this."
"I don't care Syd! I don't care. I love you. I wouldn't give you up for anything."
*And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me*
"I want you to know you gave me hope again Vaughn. I never thought I could love after Danny, but I was wrong."
"You mean everything to me Sydney. I wish I had told you sooner. You made me complete. I didn't know I could ever feel like this."
Sydney's tears came harder now.
*In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes*
"No Sydney, please, don't cry. It's ok now. Nothing they can do will ever separate us again."
*I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night
But still my heart is singing
We were right *
"Remember Sydney, this is right."
"I know, I just can't believe this is it."
*There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last... *
"Sydney, I don't regret anything. If I could do it all over again, this is what I would choose."
"Me too. You made my life worth living. Even if it ends like this."
Irina returned to the room.
"I think that's adequate time...have you two made up your minds?"
"We won't tell you anything," Vaughn declared, holding Sydney against him protectively.
"Alright. Sark, get in here."
Sark walked in, 2 needles already prepared.
"We never went to that hockey game Vaughn."
"But we're finally together now. And we never have to worry again."
Sark gave them the injections.
"I love you," they both whispered.
They held each other until their grasps slowly relaxed, and they flew from the world, together at last.
*I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you*
