Dark Day
Dark Day
By: Christa
I wake up every morning,
Just to see you smile.
My life is meaning less without you,
Though I could never bring myself to tell you.
I've loved you so long,
It's hard to say just how long now.
It was silly.
I thought things would just come naturally,
If I just opened my heart.
I swear sometimes I'm so naive.
I long for your touch.
Wonder what it would be like to hold you,
Or even kiss you.
Sometimes these feelings scare me.
I need you.
Do you really care?
I miss you so much.
I never asked to feel this way.
I'm so lost without you in my life.
Do you even know the things you do to me?
How you make my heart melt with each smile?
I find myself sitting by the phone,
Hoping you'll call.
I hate you sometimes for doing this to me.
Making me fall in love with someone like you.
I love you so much it hurts.
Do you miss me too?
I sit here alone in this house,
Thinking of nothing but you.
You're in my thoughts,
You're in my mind,
You're in my heart,
You're in my soul.
You've stolen my soul, and my heart away,
Yet you do not realize what you have done, but all I can say is It's okay.
I sit here alone,
No family,
No friends.
They have left for parts unknown, on missions and what not.
Are you thinking of me?
I'm alone in my room,
Watching the snowfall.
Is there someone with you?
Spending time with you?
The phone rings,
And I run to it,
Hoping it's you.
Just to here your voice would bring me joy.
But, it's not.
Tears fill my eyes.
Why are you doing this to me?
What did I do to deserve such pain? (1)

Merlock Holmes held the sheet that had the poem on it in his now shaking hand.
Fresh tears streamed down his cheeks, some falling on the page-putting fresh
watermarks on it.
"Why, Aria?" he murmured weakly as he watched the familiar green line rise and
fall on the heart monitor. He gently pushed the bangs that fell on her face off
it and smiled at the still form of his ..friend. 'Yes, that's right, she's my
friend. I like Sara, don't I?' he thought.

"Merlock, I have a bad feeling about this mission. Something feels different
about it," Ariana said to her 'partner'. She brushed an errant strand of brown
hair out of her bright blue eyes and smiled weakly at him. Merlock laughed
lightly. "Aria, you worry too much," he said softly, playfully shortening his
partner's first name. He was the only one she let get away with that, she didn't
even let her family call her by that name. His red eyes sparkled with amusement.
He ran a hand through his lavender hair.
"Well, c'mon, if I know Flint, we are going to be needed," he said while rolling
his bright red eyes.
Ariana stood up slowly and sighed. Merlock was born reckless she assumed, and
needless to say, she was right on several occasions. 'This is going to be a long
night, a very long night.' Naturally, she had a comment ready for the situation.
"Don't you mean that Sara will need to be saved and you plan on saving her?" she
asked sarcastically.
Merlock blushed at her accusation, which was based on a truth. He did care for
the younger female Goodman, more so than he should. But, he also knew that the
feelings he had were one sided-Sara wasn't interested in him at all. However, a
new feeling was arising in his heart. A special concern for the older sister. He
glanced over at the older Goodman and smiled. "I guess you are right, Aria," he
said with a faint laugh.
Two hours later, Ariana and Merlock joined up with the others. The mission was
the usual-help Flint save another Time Shifter from Petra Fina. This time things
were different. Tired of having Merlock help Flint interfere with her plans,
Petra Fina brought with her a gun to eliminate the young vampire.
Ariana's eyes saw a sparkle of light dancing on something metal. Her eyes opened
wide as she realized that it was a gun and it was aimed at Merlock. Without
thinking, Ariana stepped into the line of fire just as Petra Fina pulled the
trigger.
Merlock looked on in shock. He never would have expected Petra Fina of wanting
to kill him, or that Ariana would put her life on the line like that.

Merlock held Ariana's hand in his own and smiled faintly. "Rest now, Aria," he
murmured as he gently fixed the sheets. A small tear fell on her cheek. Sighing,
he stood. "The Time Police frown on acts of revenge, but what do they know? It's
my fault you are here, Aria, and I'm going to avenge you," he said.
Three hours later, he found himself in Miss Grey's office. He looks around
solemnly as he waits for Miss Grey to show. He gets up out of the chair he was
sitting in and begins to walk about the room.
"Merlock? What is it?" Miss Grey asked as she walked in and saw Merlock pacing.
He looked at her for a few minutes and hands her his time detective badge. "I'm
resigning. I won't let Ariana get hurt because of me anymore. And I want to deal
with Petra Fina on my own terms, I don't want my hands tied by red tape from the
Bureau of Time and Space," he said sternly.
He got up quietly and left.
