12 years after daughters of darkness

12 Years later

Full summary: it has been 12 years since daughters of darkness, and 10 years since they stopped the apocalypse. Ash and Mary-Lynette haven't seen or really heard from each other in those 12 years, except from one phone call where she told him that she didn't love him and never wants to see him again. Now they both go to the 10th anniversary of the stopping of the apocalypse, separately and meet again what will happen?

Disclaimer: I will only do this once, so I don't own the night world or any of the books characters, I only own my own original characters.

AN: I haven't read strange fate, as it hasn't come out in the UK yet.

Ash Pov

It has been 12 Years since I last saw my Mary-Lynette, but also 10 years since we managed to stop the apocalypse from happening. There is no guarantee that I will ever see her again, either, she is my soulmate but doesn't want to ever see me. She hasn't kept in touch with any of her family, my sisters 12 years or even me, since she left to go to Cambridge University in England.

The most anyone has heard from her in the last, is a letter that her family and my sisters get from her every Christmas, I've never got one. On the letters there is no return address, a post man brings the letters and asks for her letters in return. The worst thing about them is that they never mention me; they just give a short description of what she has been doing that year. She Graduated university with a first in astrology, and now she works for the British government in the top observatory. She never tells anyone about her personal life, so we have no idea if she has a boyfriend or is married. God I hope she isn't, she's supposed to be my soulmate for God's sake, that's all I know about her.

From the time I left Briar Creak I have been working as hard as I can to make up for the entire wrong thing I did in the past, for her. However the night before she was scheduled to leave for uni, I got a really horrible phone call from her. When I saw that it was her calling me, I thought that she was calling to ask me to come to England with her and start a life together there and that I had done enough of slaying dragons. I was wrong; she was ringing to tell me the exact opposite. The first thing that came out of her mouth was, "Ash I don't love, you I have never loved you," I practically broke down at this point. Then she went on and told me that she never wanted to see me again and that she didn't care what I had done for her. She also said that she is going to England to escape from me, and that if I ever dared follow her; she had a readily sharpened stake, to push through my heart if I ever came near her again.

That night she broke my heart, but I still and always love her, because she is my soul mate. I cried for days and days, I got several calls off of my sisters, saying that they were sure that she didn't mean all that stuff, and that she still loved me. I couldn't believe them I still to this day believe that she doesn't love me even though I love her. Nearly everyone swore that they would go after her and kill her for what she had done to me, but I managed to convince them to just leave her alone. However they did say that if they ever saw her, they would go after her and hurt her for hurting me.

Even though she didn't want me anymore, I carried on being a member of circle daybreak. I was there to help them defeat the dragons and stop the apocalypse, which we did thankfully. When all the mess from the apocalypse was sorted out I became a counsellor for circle Daybreak, helping new Human/Night world couples adjust to being together. I have done and do that job right up until this day, in the headquarters if circle daybreak: Thierry's mansion. I stay in a nearby apartment in Las Vages, because the mansion is too crowded, as it is the headquarters. I stopped aging when I was 25, because that was when I looked old enough to be a proper adult, but at the same time I didn't want to look too old.

Today is the 31st of December 2009 and I am in the lobby of one of the main strip hotels, waiting for my sisters, Mark and his and Jade's daughter Alice to come down. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that about six years ago, my youngest sister Jade and Mary-Lynette's brother Mark had a baby girl, who they called Alice. Anyway I am waiting for them so that we can go to the 10th anniversary celebration of the stopping of the Apocalypse at Thierry's mansion. I don't have a girlfriend or a date, so I have decided to go with my family, because all top-ranking members of circle daybreak, like me, are expected to attend the party. So, because my soulmate doesn't want me I decided to invite my family, and have been put in charge of looking after my niece at the party, while my sisters and their husband or dates spend the night together, this is going to be so much fun.

Then I see them coming out of the lift, and they all shout there hello's and Alice comes running up, and I catch her in my arms and she gives me a hug. "Hi, I hope you aren't going to be too much trouble for me tonight, and show me up in front of my friends," I joke.

"No, Uncle Ash, I will be as good as gold, otherwise mummy says that she will send me straight to bed and not let me go to the party," she says back in that cute little voice that I adore.

"She is going to be a good girl for you Ash, she promised me she would," said jade, I just nodded.

"Ok, then everyone, I think that it's time we got in the limo that is waiting for us outside and went to the party," I said as I started to walk toward the exit doors, while still carrying Alice.

"Yeh," they all shouted as they started to follow me outside. We all got into the limo and it started to drive off towards Thierry's mansion. Just as we pulled away I thought I saw someone who looked distinctly like Mary-Lynette, but I shook it off, because there was no way that it could possibly be her.

AN: I know that this is quite short but, I just want to see if anyone is interested in it and then I will write the next chapter which will be much longer. Mary-Lynette will appear in the next chapter
