Chapter Two: If I Die Young by The Band Perry
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
I was looking at the scene unfold below me. I was watching from the clouds in the sky. Everyone was crying and everyone knew why I died at the age of seventeen. The last member of the Order took my last life. I was watching my funeral from heaven. It took place at dawn. The people who were crying the most were my mom and Alek. They buried me in my best satin dress with me laying down on a bed of roses. Amy was singing a love song, making Alek cry even more. With Amy's words in the background, the pallbearers took me away to the grave
Uh oh, uh oh Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother The sharp knife of a short life, well
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
I've had just enough time
I was now watching from a rainbow at my mother kneeling next to my casket. "Chloe, I'm going to miss you, but I know you are safe with the Lord." Alek and Jasmine shared a look, knowing that I wasn't with the Lord up here, but rather with Bassett, our Goddess.
My life didn't turn out as I thought it would. I thought I was going to live a happy human life. Instead, I was a freak of nature with nine lives and then I died because of assassins that were after me for over a year. I watched as my loved ones sprinkle dirt on the casket. I can tell my mother feels that she is burying her baby. A sharp knife. That is what took away my short life. Lucky for me, I had just enough time to live. I died right after I told Alek that I am in love with him, just to find out that he felt the same. As I was dying, we shared our first and last kiss.
If I die young, bury me in satin The sharp knife of a short life, well And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom The sharp knife of a short life, well,
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
I've had just enough time
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,
There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
I've had just enough time
I took a glance at what I'm wearing in Bassett's kingdom. It was a beautiful white dress. The design of it was very angelic. My skin was a greenish color. It was the same color as the ring I was wearing when I died, which is now on my cold finger in the casket. I've never known what it was like to have a man love me. My father walked out when I was six. It felt nice and comforting when he held my hand to save me from my nightmares. There was finally a boy who loved me, who I could actually be with. While we were confessing our feelings, Alek said he would love me forever. That forever was severed by the sharp knife that took my short life.
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
What I never did is done
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
I was fingering the pearls around my neck while watching everything. What I never thought I was able to do, was done. Alek knew I loved him and the Mai and humans are united, thanks to me. I looked down and saw that Amy was crying on Paul's shoulder, with his arms around her. I've been telling them that they should get back together. Now that I'm dead, they finally listen. Bassett came up from behind me. "Penny for your thoughts?" she asked me.
"I'd sell them for a dollar."
If I die young, bury me in satin Uh oh (uh, oh) The sharp knife of a short life, well So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
I've had just enough time
Amy's singing was a lovely ballad as the doves were released on my funeral. The world was filled with peace and love since I defeated the Order. Alek was trying to hold in his tears, but was failing as they lowered my casket into the ground with a string of pearls laying over it.
Paul was patting his back, asking him why he was crying even more than my mom. "I love her." I loved how he said it in the present tense rather than the past. It meant death couldn't tear us apart. "All because of that damn knife that took her short life.
I shot up in bed, sweating. The cause of my waking up was the screaming of an infant. I felt the other side of the bed sink while the room was once again, quiet. "Are you okay, Love?" my loving husband asked me.
"Yeah, it was just a bad dream."
"Was it about your death again?" he asked rocking our beautiful baby girl, Jasmine. She was named after Alek's cousin, who was also one of my closest friends. She died the day after I united the races, which was also the day before I died.
"Yup. I just can't stop thinking about it," I said truthfully.
"I know, baby, but it was just your third life. You still have six left. We are happily married with a beautiful daughter named after a strong fighter. I don't think that set back should affect our lives," he explained softly in his British accent. Yes, I married Alek. We continued to date after he killed the man that took my life. Now that the Order is eliminated, my lives should be safe, but I will still risk all of them for my new family. Alek put Jazz to sleep and lay down next to me. He kissed me softly on the lips. When he started to pull away, I pulled him back down to deepen it. It was soon a heated make out session between man and wife and I couldn't be happier, as long as I don't die young.
Hope you liked it… I am adding your requests to a list so keep sending them in… they will get done eventually. Sooo… REVIEW!
