I would of had this up two days ago, but something was weird with this site so it kept coming up as "error" I dunno haha. I also apologize for taking forever with this.. work has been kicking my butt. OH! To everyone who is in my time zone(Eastern-US/Canada).. the episode with my favorite scene of Diva is gonna air Saturday night at 12:30am so don't miss it! xD
Chapter Three.
I still love you.
"S-Solomon?" Saya studdered.
Solomon smiled at Saya, bended down on his one knee, and grabbed her hand. "I've missed you. This time, I'll not fail you."
Haji moved closer to Saya and glared down at Solomon. Kai, noticing this, stepped between Saya and Solomon as Haji clenched his chiropteran hand. Solomon let go of Saya's hand and stood up smiling gently at Haji.
"I thought you might appreciate this. Amshel helped me bring him back before I disposed of him." Diva said as she wrinkled her nose at Amshel's remains.
Nathan walked over to Solomon and draped his arms over Solomon's shoulders and whispered into his ear. "Think she'll deny you again?"
Solomon elbowed Nathan in the gut and walked over to Amshel's remains. "Maybe if he didn't treat you like some experiment, Diva." he said as he turned to face Diva. "He would be alive right now. You should only be treated like royalty."
A large shadow appeared from the side, but no one seemed to notice. Diva grunted in discust. "There is no maybe. He always said to me "What do you wish?" he should of just listened to me instead of using me. I think he was just scared of me, and really, who wouldn't be?" She smiled as her eyes turned vibrant blue and lunged at a chiropteran who was about to attack Saya. She torn it's head off in one clean thrust of her hand, and the chiropteran's body crippled to the floor into a bloody heap. The head rolled over next to Saya. She stared down at it as Solomon kicked it away. Diva giggled and licked the blood off her hand as Nathan rubbed her on the back as a congratulations.
Saya kept her eyes on Solomon, Haji did as well. Solomon noticing this smiled at Saya. "Saya, I ask if I might have a word with you, in private."
Haji shifted uncomfortably. Saya glanced at Haji, and he nodded slowly. "If that is what you wish, Saya."
Saya noticed the slight bitterness in his voice. "I'll be just a few minutes." And at those words Haji turned and walked to the back of the room. Kai glanced at Saya, and then followed Haji.
"Saya, if you will." said Solomon as he extended his arm.
Saya reluctantly took his arm and he led her up a flight of stairs and onto the roof. The New York City lights were extremely bright. Saya had to close her eyes for a few seconds to adjust to them. When she had her focus, she looked over at the skyline. The sun was almost gone, only a hit of light remained, causing a deep purple to reflect in the sky. Buildings towered over the rooftop that they stood on, and the lights shined down on them like stars. Solomon let go of Saya's arm and walked over towards the edge of the building.
"Saya I-" Solomon began but was immediately interrupted by Saya.
"Why is Diva doing this? Does she think because she killed Amshel and took out that one chiropteran I'm going to forgive her and not kill her? What is going on?! What is she planning because I know she's just putting on an act! I-"
Solomon thrusted himself at Saya and kissed her square on the mouth. Saya pulled away flabbergasted.
"Solomon, what are you doing?!" Saya screamed at him.
"Saya I'm sorry, I've been given a second chance at life. I just wanted to kiss you, in case I never get the chance again." he replied.
"Solomon, I c-" Saya began but was interrupted.
"My feelings for you haven't changed, Saya. I'm still in love with you, and my heart will always belong to you." Solomon said.
Saya stared at him. "We can never happen."
Solomon smiled gently at her. "No, you are wrong. We can happen.You do know, if you ever wanted to have children, you cannot do that with Haji."
Saya nodded. "I know. But Diva already had the next generation of, as you say "Queens". Even if I wanted to, there would be no point in me having any children."
"Well then Saya, I have one more thing to ask of you." he said. "Would you accept me as your Chevalier? I never had the chance last time, during that fight with James, it ended me. Saving you was the last thing I did. But now I'm going to ask your permission, would you please accept me as your Chevalier?" he got down on one knee and looked up into her eyes.
Saya turned her back to him and walked to the door that led to the steps that took them back to the theater. She reached for the the door and pulled it open.
"Do as you choose, you are still Diva's Chevalier, no matter what you do." she said and then walked down the stairs.
Solomon looked down and smiled. "As I've said before, I am Diva's Chevalier, but before that I am Solomon Goldsmith, who is in love with you, Saya."
