Fulfilling a Promise
John Druitt was exacuted the day after his daughter visited him. His funeral had a surprising amount of mourners for that of a muderer. Their was Helen, Ashley, Will, Nikola, James Watson and another old friend from Oxford, Nigel Griffith accompanied by his daughter Clara who Ashley didn't like because she kept eyeing Will with lust in her eyes.
'We at a funeral for god's sakes, show some respect for the deceased' Ashley thought. Will seemed completely oblivious to Clara's graze. 'That my Will' she thought. As they placed her father body into the ground Ashley found herself surprisingly sad. Why was it, she barely even knew the man and apart from that he was a monster. 'But if he hadn't done what he'd done i never would have met Will' she thought.
Maybe despite all the evil he did, his death had brought his daughter to the man she loved and his dyong brought them closer together. Maybe that will get him some mercy in the afterlife.
After the funeral they all gathered at Helen's house to remember better times. Nikola and Watson were reminiscing about all the good times they had at Oxford. Ashley noticed her mother was sitting by herself and was crying.
"Mom are you ok" she asked. "Oh Ashley, forgive me i'm just , do you think John was even capable of love" Helen said wiping away the tears. "Mom I'm sure whatever part of him that was Human loved you" Ashley said comforting her mother. "Thank you " she said.
Ashley noticed how Clara was now talking to Will. "Mom I'll be right back" she said getting up and heading over to them. 'No one going to steal my man' she thought. "Hi I'm Ashley Will's Girlfriend" she said loudly to Clara interupting what she was about to say.
"Will you never told me you had a girlfriend" Clara said. "Well we just met" Will said confused. "Funny I don't see you as a guy who likes Blondes" Clara said. "What that suppose to mean" Ashley said getting angry. "Well you know what they say about blonde or do you " Clara said doing a Valley Girl impression. "Why you little slu" Ashley began before being drag off by Will.
Clara smiled smugly but Ashley throw her a look that said Keep your slimely paws off my man. "Alright Ashley what's going on" Will asked. "I just saw how she was practical about to jump your bones so I had to stop it" Ashley said. Will laughed. "What so funny" Ashley asked. "It just I never pictured you as the jealous type" Will said.
"I'm not it just I saw you with her and I was afraid you'd leave me" Ashley said sounding very meek something Will had never heard Ashley sound like. Will laughed at this. "Ashley that ridiculous, i'd never leave you, You have my heart, it your to keep forever" Will said.
Ashley smiled and was so happy to have Will that she Kissed him. 'I've got the Best Boyfriend in the world' she thought.
About a week after the funeral things had finally returned to normal for Ashley. She was lying on her bed reading a book when suddenly there was knock on the door. She opened it and Will was standing there smiling.
"Hey Will what's up?" Ashley asked. "Put this on" he said sounding enthusiastic and held out a blindfold. "What this all about" she said sounding nervous. "Just put it on, you'll like what i have in store for you" Will said.
Ashley put the blindfold on and Will took her hand and brought her somewhere. "This isn't some weird sex game is it cause i'm not into that stuff" she said sounding nervous. Will took off the blindfold and in front off Ashley was the nicest gift she had ever gotten. A new bike.
"Surprise" he said "I saw you eying it at the MotorBike convention and I decided to get it for you for your Birthday". "My birhtdays not for two weeks Will" Ashley said trying to comprehend how much she loved Will at this very moment. "I know but if I waited any longer I would have exploded" He said handing her the keys. "Go ahead try it out"
Ashley noticed that on the Keys there was a keyring in the shape of a heart that said Will on it. She turned to look at him and he said "Now truely do own my heart". "I love so much Will" she said. They kissed and Ashley knew at that moment that there love would never end.
