A/N: Daniel's thoughts when Vala was kidnapped by the Trust in Memento Mori
Chapter 2: World So Cold (Song by Three Days Grace)
Daniel punched the dark blue pillow on his bed in frustration. It had been almost two weeks since Vala had been kidnapped by the Trust and had since gone missing. He felt responsible for her disappearance. If he would never have taken her out to dinner, maybe she would still be here with him.
Dinner was his attempt at doing something nice for Vala, since she had turned her life around for the better. It was also his way of trying to sort out his feelings for her.
Lying on his bed in his quarters, Daniel's mind played back the last memories he had of Vala before she disappeared. In his mind's eye he saw her long, luxurious dark hair cascading over her shoulders, the flower pinned in her hair. He remembered her gorgeous smile as she looked at him from across the table.
Daniel felt deep sorrow at the thought that he may never see her beautiful face again, never hear her sexy, accented voice call him 'darling', never get to tell her how much she was coming to mean to him.
Without her, Daniel did not feel whole anymore. He felt like a huge piece of his heart was missing, a piece that could only be filled by Vala.
The world felt like a cold and dark place where the fraction of himself that was left could not hope to survive in for long. Daniel felt a stray tear slip down his cheek as he thought of a life without the joy that was Vala in it. However, tomorrow was another day, and he would spend it trying to find Vala, trying to bring her back to where she belonged. Until then, he would not be all right, without her he could not feel the warmth of the sun, could not enjoy the fragrances of the world around him, he would just be a shell of his former self.
Inspired by the following lyrics:
"I never thought
I'd feel this
Guilty and
Broken down inside
Living with myself
Nothing but lies
I always thought
I'd make it
But never knew I'd
Let it get so bad
Living with myself
Is all I have
I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like
I'm frozen in time
Living in a
World so cold
Wasting away
Living in a shell
With no soul
Since you've gone away
Living in a world so cold
Counting the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away from me"
