Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' the dear Richard O'Brien does. If I did believe me I would be the happiest person in the world and would be in California instead of the East Coast. Though, I do own Ava and a few characters that shall pop up later in the story.

Chapter 1

Letting Go

From inside her deep state of slumber, Ava thought of Frank and all that had happened before her. What had she done wrong? What did she do to deserve such a cruel fate?

"It's time," her mind admitted and without another pressing moment, Ava's body accepted what was being said. She began to move sluggishly before stepping from her hospital bed and placing her feet onto the chilled tile floor. But looking to herself and the pressing monitor, she sighed resentfully.

"I just want to go home," she cried, exiting her room and escaping into the abyss of the hallway.

Her heart palpitated as she traveled through the dimly lit halls, fear striking her as she came to believe someone would direct her back to her room and bring her journey to its end. But upon passing others, she was left undisturbed.

"Thank God," she imparted, catching a silver elevator in her gaze. It seemed to be but the elevator to heaven drawing before her.

It dinged once before she stepped inside with a newly parented couple and Ava couldn't help but smile as the rosy cheeks of the baby girl became present. She cooed silently, but still stood in the back of the silo.

"Little Ava," the woman said slowly, touching the baby's face with her pointer finger. "That woman had such a beautiful name. I do hope she's doing alright."

"I'm sure she'll be fine, Audrey," the man began. "But what a tragic accident."

Ava knew the couple was speaking about her, but she chose to stay quiet and not to say she was the one that lay in the hospital bed just moments before. She wanted to listen to the conversation.

"It was such a rough night to be traveling through. Do you think she'll ever wake up?"

"I'm sure, sweetheart."

And from the back of the elevator, tears began to pool in Ava's eyes and stream down her frail frame.
