Summary: Death is only the beginning. The ones we love never really leave us. And sometimes we have to die before we can really live.
AN: So this is my first Arrow fan fic. I hope you guys like please let me know at the end. Also this is AU in the since that the season finale did not happen that way. And also how I think they should take Felicity's character further.
Disclaimer: I do not own Arrow sadly. Maybe one day when I make it rich but as of now I don't.
Goodbye Stanger
It was warm out even for it being night time. But there was a slight breeze and clear skies. The stars were shinning bright and the moon was full. The beauty of the night lied about the true darkness of the night. It mocked everything that everyone believed in, fought for, stood for. The roaring in the ears had given way to silence. Only silenced remained and it was deafening. Time had stopped, everyone had stopped. The moment was coming, and that moment was the end. The light was giving way to darkness. Not just darkness of the night but of the mind and the soul as well. The moment was coming.
The senses dulled and yet heightened at the same time. There once was pain, but now it had gone only leaving numbness in its wake. A numbness that seeped into the bone and into the soul. Everything was fuzzy and yet crystal clear. The world had stopped spinning and yet everyone was still moving. The hurt had come and gone just as the anger had. Anger seemed silly now and the silly things were just so confusing. Nothing made since and yet an understanding had come to pass. Shadows moved in the darkness, and fear that was once long gone was beginning to come back. Hope was all but gone, despair alone remained. It should rain; it seemed unfair that this was happening on such a beautiful night. A night that was beautiful and full of hope. It just wasn't fair. Did life and love mean nothing to the world? Could the world, the heavens be that cruel? It seemed as if they could. Everyone in the world was crying, and the world itself wanted to cry. The moment was coming.
It should matter to the woman lying down looking at the stars. She should notice the people shouting all around her or was it at her she couldn't tell. Or was it that she couldn't remember? The hands that touch her, the cries in the dark for her, she should notice. She should pay attention to the pool of blood forming around her. She really should notice all of this, but really the only thing she notices is the silence around her. Silence is all she hears, all she knows, all she feels. That and it really is a beautiful night. The moment is coming.
She is in some ones arms, being held, but she feels nothing. It is strange to feel nothing and yet feeling everything. She wants to speak she thinks, but she has forgotten how or maybe she never really knew how. Warmth is trying to enter her soul, but coldness of this cruel fate forbids it to happen. She wants to hope but she has forgotten what hope feels like. She cries without knowing how. A hand reaches how to wipe the tears away and she hears it. Just a whisper but its there, please don't leave me, I love you. She wants to hang on she thinks. Those words make her sad; she is hurting someone, someone she cares about. But she knows she can't stay. The moment is coming.
The stars are going out or maybe the light in her is going out. She no longer feels. No sadness, no pain, no nothing but understanding. A smile is on her face and she doesn't know how it got there. Should she be smiling? Yes she thinks she should. Because everything that has happened in her life has added up to this moment. She is ready. The moment has come.
On a warm beautiful summer night a woman falls on a sword for her love. She has turned vigilantes into heroes on this night. A villain has been redeemed, and another woman is finally at rest. Despite the cruelty of this night, it is a good night. A good night to die. For on this night Felicity Smoak dies. And the whole world cries. It really should be raining it thinks.
Remember review for me. Let me know if you like it. If I should continue it. I have two more chapters already typed out. I can add on, or leave it the way it is.
