Hey guys :) this is just the intro to my story with is a continuation to Daughters of Darkness. And before you ask, don't worry, Ash will come back. But what will his reaction be when he finds his Mary -Lynette in the arms of another? Will he simply go back to his old ways? Do everything in his power to win her back? Or simply let her go. Let me know your thoughts of whether I should continue! And I will be writing in the First person in the next chapter.
Sending Ash away to make up for all the wrong he had done in his life seemed like a good idea at the time. Mary-Lynette wanted a fresh start for him, for them both, so they could move forward together. But when he was gone, she wished nothing more than to turn back the time and do things differently. To pull Ash into her arms and hold him tightly, telling him to stay with her forever, never to let her go.
If only such things were possible. Mary-Lynette could do nothing about it. Ash was gone and it didn't seem he would be back anytime soon. After all, he had a lot to make up for.
Mare had tried her best to stay positive, to cling onto the thought that her Ash would return. He would come back for her. It was that thought that kept her going, even though the days seemed to drag by without her soulmate in her life. Everything around her seemed to change, to move forward and she felt like she was being dragged behind. Mary-Lynette found it hard to even be around her love sick brother Mark, who was head over heels for Jade. Seeing them together made her pine for Ash. Her Ash.
Years had passed and soon the letter seemed to fade out of her life. She had one every couple of months for the first year but now they just didn't come. Mary-Lynette had often heard the Redfern sisters discussing their brother. It was Kestrals harsh words in particular that stuck in her mind.
"Our bloody brother will never change Rowan! He met his soul mate and yet he hasn't bothered returning to her like he promised. It's obvious he had gone back to being the same Ash we all know and no one loves. Clearly even Mary-Lynette can't change him!"
Over time, Mary-Lynette had began to believe these words. After all, they had been echoing in her mind for so long. And as hard and painful as it was, Mary-Lynette made a promise to herself. That she would move on, without Ash Redfern.
It must have been coincidence that at this time, a handsome young man by the name of Jesse McCarthy moved in down the road. On first meeting him, Mary-Lynette felt they had a connection. Nothing even close to the binding connection she had with Ash, but it was something. Mare and Jesse soon became inseparable. He was the best friend she could have and more.
When the Redfern sisters found out about the growing relationship between Mary-Lynette and Jesse, they had mixed reactions. Jade, sweet and sensitive Jade, was sad. She was sad because she wanted her brother back, for both her and Mare. Jade was the only one of the sisters that strongly believed that Ash would come back the redeemed man that he promised. It had taken a while for Jade to get used to it, but eventually she accepted Jesse, even beginning to like him.
Kestral and Rowan seemed to have seen this coming. Their reaction was not surprised or shocked to say the least. Mary-Lynette got a simply nod from Rowan and a look that said 'Well, duh," from Kestral.
Mark, being her younger brother, wasn't too fond of Jesse. Though he hadn't thought much of Ash either, but back then he had been too involved with Jade to make his opinion of the blonde catlike vampire heard. He always kept a close eye on the human that Mary-Lynette had fallen for, and had warned him that of he ever hurt her, Mark would kill him. It wasn't as thought Jared took anything that Mark said seriously, but he played along for Mary-Lynette, letting Mark think he was the tough guy.
Mary-Lynette made sure that everything that reminded her of Ash was blocked from her mind. She even tried to erase him from her memory, the thought of his touch causing her pain. But it was a numb pain now and Jesse was slowly beginning to heal the wounds left by Ash Redfern
