Chapter One : The Flight and The Fall

Ash P.O.V

It had been five years since that day when we said goodbye. Five years, and I could still remember what she smelt like, how she walked, and how she made my heart speed up, even though it barely beat anyways.

I remember my soul mate- her beautiful glossy brown hair, her amazingly blue eyes, her lightly tanned skin- I love it all.

I still remember the night that we had killed Jeremy, the werewolf, just after I had kissed her and made her (almost) a vampire.

But now, five years later, sitting on a plane, I was finally going back to her. I could kiss her, hold her, and just…be with her again.

How long have I've been waiting to just hold her close? A while, I'm pretty sure. I could feel my heart thump in my chest as each minute passed by.

Only two more hours to go. God, could I wait that long?

I looked out the window and put my chin in my hand.

How old would she be now, around twenty-two, twenty-three? I actually had no idea. I racked my brain for her age, then added five, counting on my fingers. I was never good at math.

I came up with a grand total of twenty-two. It wasn't too bad, not too old, I mean, I was…what? Let's see…. twenty- four? I had decided to keep on ageing until I would make her a vampire. And if that took until I was in a wheelchair, then so be it.

It really didn't matter to me at all, as long as I was with her.

I glanced down at my watch; it was two thirty-eight, only one hour to go. Man, I was so impatient. But hell, who wouldn't be?

I sighed and plugged in my headphones, cranking the music so loud that it blocked out everything but my thoughts.

I closed my eyes and hoped to sleep, to help pass the time. But I was too hyped up to doze off.

So I thought about how she would look. Would her hair be shorter? Longer? Would she have creases in her cheeks? Would her chipmunk cheeks have thinned out? Would she be taller? Although I doubt she'll be taller that me, since I'm nearing six-five.

Would she still love me?

What? Why was I even asking myself that? Of course she would! What am I talking about?

Of course she loved me.

Suddenly, a lady's voice crackled over the P.A system, "Please fasten your seatbelts, we will be landing in five minutes."

A wave of excitement and joy washed through me.

Jade, Kestrel, Mark, Rowan, and Mary-Lynette would be there when I got off.

I would be able to hold Mary-Lynette again in five minutes.

Then plane then skidded to a stop, and passengers started getting off. I picked up my bag and followed the crowd.

I pushed through them, trying to get out, so I could see my one and only. My beautiful soul mate.

We all waited by the doors, waiting for them to open, and when they did, everyone rushed out like a herd of zebras. I decided to just lay off a bit, wait until everyone was out before I went.

I walked, trying to be calm, out into the airport, going through a little tunnel, and popping out to a huge open area filled with people.

I lifted my head a little bit and gazed around, looking for Jade, Rowan, Kestrel, Mark, and Mary-Lynnette.

As soon as I spotted a head of white hair, I heard a girly squeal, "Ash!"

I saw Jade running towards me, but I had absolutly no time to react. I was beat.

She flung herself at me and hugged my tightly around the neck. I dropped my bag and hugged her back.

I put her down gently on her little feet and smiled at her. "Hey, Jade." She beamed.

I looked around her and saw Rowan, Kestrel, and Mark. I smiled at them. "Hey guys, long time no see."

Rowan stepped forward and hugged me tightly, keeping her face away from mine.

I ignored her wierd behavior and hugged her back. When she let go she smiled sadly at me, like she was keeping something from me. What the hell?

"Yo, Ash." I turned from Rowan to Kestrel, who had a devilish grin on her face. "nice to have you back." She stepped forward and I thought she was going to give me a hug.

I was wrong.

She touched my face lightly, then patted it roughly a couple of times.

"Hi to you too, Kes." I groaned, then looked at Mark. We nodded to eachother and shook hands.

I turned to Rowan, who still looked like she was keeping something from me. "Where's Mare?" I used her nickname, the one that I had given to her. I was the only one who could use it.

Rowan played with her fingers ann looked down. "A-at home." She stuttered. What was going on?

"Well," I started, picking up my bags, "let's go!"


The ride home was pretty quiet, except for the occasional talk about what had happened over the years that I had been gone.

There was talk about Rowan and how she had found someone in the little town. Derek, I think that's what his name is. And how he had proposed to her a couple of months ago.

Talk about Kestrel; she had found someone too, only, not quite as serious as Rowan was. They were only dating.

Talk about how Mark had proposed to Jade; how Jade had a pregnancy scare (good thing she wasn't actually pregnant or else I would've killed Mark) and how the two were

getting married on the nineteenth of August; in six months.

Talk about everyother vampire who had found their soulmate; their one and only.

And apparently Quinn had even found someone. A human!

I was waiting for that to happen.

But there was absolutly bo talk about Mary-Lynnette.

I was starting to get worried. Had she died?

I stayed quiet though until I couldn't take it anymore.

I whipped my head to Rowan, who was driving. "What happened with Mary-Lynnette?" I could hear the concern in my voice, even though I was trying to hide it.

Rowan looked sheepish again, so I looked around to all the faces in the car.

Kestrel, for the first time, ducked her head down and didn't say a word.

Jade and Mark looked away and Jade let out something that sounded like a sob.

What the hell was going on?

I looked back at Rowan. She started mumbling, "I'm sorry... I couldn't stop...I didn't know what was wrong...I thought that..I never knew..."

I was getting mad, "Just spit it out, Rowan!" I screamed. I heard Jade suck in a breath.

Rowan stared out at the road for a while, the turned to me. Was that a... tear?

"Mary-Lynnette is married."


So ,what did you think? So, I think that in further chapters, Mary-Lynnette will be with someone else, a character that I made up!

Please don't get mad!

I'll get the next xhapter out soon, but for now...sleep! :)
