this is definately the last chapter its just i prefer to have an even amount of chapters. I listened to tears in heaven by Andrew Johnstone and it inspired me to write a short poem for the captain in honor of Tintin. It doesn't rhyme but i like it and it was off the top of my head so please don't insult me. Review if you like the story. this is the funeral. It may get tearful again so i'll give another warning for tissues if you need to as I cried just writing this. Holding On And Letting Go by Ross Copperman goes perfect with his chapter and made me cry whilst I was re-reading it and some of the lyrics go perfect with the story.
the captain stood up at the pupit and breathed heavily as he looked at the masses of people who had turned up for the furneral and it wasn't just people from the village. Old friends of Tintin were also there from his adventures across the globe. The Thompsons, Calculus, Nestor and Mrs Finch were there but there were some people that he hadn't expected. Chang was devasted to hear of Tintin's death as the pair had been quite close. Mr and Mrs Wang accompanied them. Even Bianca Castafiore had turned up with Irma and Wagner. Captain Chester, Professer Taragon and Pablo also attended amongst the rest.
"I'm going to do something a bit different. What i'm about to recite is a poem. A poem that Tintin actually wrote a long time ago when he lost someone very close to him." He took a deep breath and then began. "This is called My Friend, My Brother"
My Friend My Brother
Everywhere I go you are there
Everywhere I have been I remember
Everywhere I See I See you
Life Takes
Life Gives
but never does it testify
just how much you really meant to me
Nothing compares to the man you made in me
and nothing will ever change what you gave me
you taught me that lifes worth living
no matter what life throws at you
as I know
you'll Be there though every twist and turn
pushing away my fears and tears
and will never leave me
though I know you are gone
I hear your voice like an angel
and I swear you are standing here
your Here even though you are gone
this is my prayer to you
promise me you'll watch over me
and watch me where i go
and when the time comes
guide me right back to you
In the arms of the angels.
By the time the captain had finished there wasn't a dry eye in the church, everyone was crying and tears where escaping the Captain even though he had desperately tried to keep them in and when they reached the graveside it became even harder for the captain. The priest began to speak in soft tones and the Captain began to shake harshly as they began to lower him into the grave. He couldn't bear the thought of never seeing him again. Even as people began to walk away when the priest was finished the Captain stayed right where he was looking straight at the gravestone and the beautiful flowers surrounding it. The headstone had a picture of a candle with a flame. Many people said that a burning flame represented everlasting life and the Captain just hoped that wherever he was now, he was happy and watching over him. A variance of flowers surrounded the grave most where carnations though. Kneeling down, he ignored the mud, he placed a rose next the the headstone and started to walk away but a gentle gust of wind caused him to turn round and thats when he saw the unexpected. Tintin was standing next to his own grave dressed completely in white. He walked over to the Captain in silence.
"I'm going to miss you lad"
"Always there, remember" Tintin replied as a tear dripped from his eye.
The Captain watched as Tintin began to fade away untill he dissapeared all together leaving the Captain lonely in the cemetary, thinking about all the things that Tintin was going to miss out on and as he walked away one thought remained clear in his head.
Never Forget Just Remember.
the end. Sorry in took me so long to continue this story but i thought it would better to give the captain some closure that Tintin was safe and no one could hurt him anymore. A lot of the Captains feelings relate to personal experience and I think no one should have to go though that kind of pain. I'm on the way to writing some more happy fanfictions so watch out. thanks guys oh and please review of you like the story. Sorry for making people cry but if a chapter makes me cry I know it's gotta be quite good. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, followed and favourited this story, all the feedback means a lot to me.
