3rd Person POV

He opened his eyes and saw her standing over him, a damp washcloth in hand. She dabbed gently at his forehead, and he smiled at her. "You don't have to do that." He whispered, his voice too weak to talk any louder. She smiled back at him. "I know I don't have to, but I love you. I'll do anything to help make you better."

He looked at the girl, really looked at her. She was so beautiful in his eyes, with her long wavy hair and her deep brown eyes. He should never have left her for so long. "Sweetheart, it's been four months, we both know I'm not getting any better."

She frowned, her eyes shining with determination. "Don't say that! You're going to get better, you have to!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down into a hug. He stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head softly. "I love you too, you know that. So I can't lie to you and pretened everything will be fine when it won't. Darling, I can't live like this anymore."

Her head snapped up, and she met his gaze, tears swimming in her eyes. For a moment, they gazed at each other, neither one speaking. Then she sighed and dropped her gaze. Defeated she spoke again, "I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you." His own eyes prickled with emotion as he looked at her, broken as she realised the man she loved was going to give up his life. He pulled her into a kiss, pouring everything he had into it. When they broke apart, he sighed. "You have nothing to be sorry for. It was my fault. I shouldn't have left you. If there's one thing in my life I regret it's leaving you." The tears that had been threatening to fall now flowed freely down her face.

"Then don't leave me now." She whispered chokingly. He raised a hand to her face, gently wiping away her tears. He pulled her down for one more kiss before whispering. "I have to sweetheart."

There was a long moment of silence as they gazed at eachother, each trying to burn the image of the other into their minds. He broke the silence, uttering the five words she knew would kill him. "I will you my Power."

She screamed as lightning and Power hit her, ripping through her body.

She screamed from the pain.

She screamed from grief at losing him, who she had loved with every fibre of her being.

She screamed with fear as she felt the new Power course through her veins, seductive, and somehow warm.

She screamed in rage as she cast her mind to those she blamed for the situation she was now in.

She screamed until she could scream no more, and she huddled on the floor, shaking.

After a while, she stood, and took a step to the bed where his now lifeless body lay. "I love you so much." She said softly, "I will have your revenge for you. I will make them pay for taking you from me." Her body shook with grief and anger as she spoke. "And when I've finished them, I'll come for you. We'll be together again, I promise."

She dropped a soft kiss on his forehead, before turning and walking out of the room. She left the house, and began walking down the dark street. The other houses were boarded up and abandoned, or else they were inhabited by young women who paid their rent with their bodies rather than cash. She felt sick leaving him here, but she had no choice. She had to go to Ipswich, to get her revenge.

She concentrated on where she wanted to be, and felt her eyes bleed to black, feeling a rush of Power. She blinked, and when she opened her eyes again, she was stood in front of a gothic looking building. From the descriptions he had given her, she knew this was Spenser. A dark smile spread on her face. This was where they were. The ones who had killed him. She was going to make them suffer, make them regret taking him away from her.

Oh yes, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

AN – So, how was the first chapter? I'm pretty sure you can all guess who he was, but who knew he had a heart all along :P Next chapter is our lovely Ipswich people, and a little info on their last four months. Let me know what you think so far. X
