I do not own any of the characters, the movie, or anything like that. This story is based on the events after the movie.
Evey swayed slowly to the music as she watched Parliament burn. She wouldn't cry tonight, no, for tonight was his night. Tomorrow she would cry for her unrequited love of V. She looked at the Inspector out of the corner of her eye, a small bitter smile playing about her lips. "You know…I always wanted to dance with him to this song." Eric Finch looked at the young lady, his mind still reeling from the effects of what they had just witnessed. "It's his song." Was all he was able to mumble out. He jumped at her bark of laughter, wondering if she was losing her sanity from all that was occurring. "Yeah, it's his song." She turned towards him fully, looking into his confused blue eyes. "Will you dance with me?" They stared at one another for a moment, silent as the music played. Eric slowly took her hand, placing the other one around her slender waist before slowly leading her to the music. Evey closed her eyes, pretending that the man that held her gently yet firmly, was the man that lay beneath the rubble.
Evey's eyes shot open at the sound of distant gunfire to the right of her. Pushing away from the Inspector, she headed to the corner closest to the noise, gripping the rail. "No, no! They can't! They're inhuman!" She shrieked as she heard the distant screams of the innocents. More gunfire erupted to the left, then from the area of Parliament. The music stopped abruptly, leaving only the screams of the masses being silenced by gunfire. Eric looked over the railing, seeing the once quite city now turning into a seething pit of chaos. "They're rioting." He grimly said, looking over to the pale girl. "No, this isn't what he wanted! They CAN'T do this! We have to stop them!" She strode past him, entering the Shadow Gallery once again.
Looking wildly around, Evey couldn't find a plan of action. She spun around, seeing the man she hardly knew eye her. "Stay away from me!" She shrieked, backing away from him. 'He knows where you live! He knows everything! Nothing is safe! You're not safe! RUN!' Her panicked mind screamed at her. Evey knew she was hyperventilating and would soon lose consciousness if she didn't control herself, but everything that V had set up was falling around her. 'Calm yourself girl, he wouldn't have let that train go if he was Norsefire.' Her breathing calmed instantly as her cooler side took over. The two stared each other down as the city bled. "I'd suggest you stay here for the night, no telling what'll happen to you if you leave." She pointed to her old room, knowing where she'd spend the night. "Sleep in there."
Spinning on her heel, she entered V's old room, shutting the door. Not turning on the light, she stumbled over to his bed. Crawling on top of it, she buried her face into his pillow, breathing in the scent of him. Feeling her heart break at the loss of her love, and his dreams spiraling into ashes, Evey clutched the pillow to her sobbing. "V, oh V, it's all a mess now. What are we going to do?" Not realizing the Inspector was listening through the door, he sighed before stepping back. Running a hand over his face, he trudged over to his temporary shelter. Looking up toward the stairs, he shuddered at the sound of the destruction that was occurring. "May God help us."
